The current Act stipulates that where a liquefied petroleum gas filling business entity fills a container with liquefied petroleum gas and measures the quantity thereof, he or she shall not exceed the tolerance of 1/100 prescribed by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

This obligation applies when filling containers with liquefied petroleum gas, but does not apply to the case of filling containers fitted to motor vehicles. Critics point out a need to regulate LPG meters as there is a significant likelihood that they may be artificially manipulated to sell less than the stated quantity.

Accordingly, the Amendment prescribes that where a liquefied petroleum gas filling business entity fills a container fitted to a motor vehicle with liquefied petroleum gas, he or she shall not supply a quantity that falls short of the stated quantity by an amount outside the tolerance prescribed by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and otherwise establishes a system for quantitative tests (Article 13, paragraph 1, subparagraphs 9-2, 9-3, and 9-4; Article 23-2; Article 61, paragraph 3, subparagraph 1-2; Article 68-5; and Article 69, subparagraphs 2-3 and 2-3).

Where a liquefied petroleum gas business entity, etc., falls under the following, allow the authority that grants permission or the authority that grants registration to revoke the permission or registration, or issue an order to suspend or restrict the business or the use of the liquefied petroleum gas storage facility for a specified period of up to 6 months; provided that where subparagraph 1, 2, 7, or 9-4 applies, the permission or registration shall be revoked (Article 13, paragraph 1).
9-4. Where a business facility that has been installed or remodeled in violation of Article 23-2, paragraph 2 is used, or where such a facility is taken over or leased in violation of paragraph 1 of the same Article
