EMRC refutes reports of permitting filling of liquid petroleum gas cylinders

AMMAN — The Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) on Monday denied claims of having issued any new licences or permits for filling liquid petroleum gas cylinders.

Under the law, no entity is allowed to practise any activities on petroleum derivatives or establish a petroleum establishment without a licence or permit issued under the law and based on regulations, the commission said in a statement. 

The EMRC added that the only gas cylinder authorised for sale is of metal constructed in accordance with Jordanian standards, and no cylinders violating those standards are allowed in the market.
