Here we organize official sources by topic, scope and verification date. When a frequency or requirement is not supported by a current source, we state that it must be confirmed with the authority. ## Articles - [SNE inspections of fuel stations: scope and recordsWhat Panama’s SNE inspection procedure covers, which agents it applies to and which records may be reviewed, without turning a practical list into a universal requirement.](https://masterservices.org/en/blog/checklist-documentacion-sne-panama/) - [Tightness testing in Panama: method, scope and procedureWhat a test evaluates, how to interpret published MESA 2-D performance and why the technical report does not replace DINASEPI’s decision.](https://masterservices.org/en/blog/pruebas-hermeticidad-sne-panama/) - [What to do after an adverse tightness-test resultA sequence for control, scope review, diagnosis and documentation without treating the result as a volumetric reading or promising a repair.](https://masterservices.org/en/blog/reprobaste-hermeticidad-sne-protocolo-panama/) ## Glossary Tightness The condition of a tank or line with respect to product entering or leaving it. A test evaluates a defined scope under the method conditions and documents the result. MESA 2D A nonvolumetric tightness-testing method for underground tanks. It applies a vacuum and analyzes acoustic signals; a separate sensor checks for water ingress. ## Does your station meet the standard?
