第3版对内部检查建议进行了扩展，并增加了一个专门用于外部检查的新章节。它借鉴了姊妹出版物EEMUA 159:地上平底储罐——检查、维护和维修指南中给出的建议。选择标准详细说明了不同类型RLG储罐在标准操作和意外荷载下的性能标准。给出了关于风险评估的建议，以确定哪种类型的储罐最适合所选场地。还提供了RLG储罐的调试和停用信息。 当EEMUA 147第1版于20世纪80年代中期出版时，它是世界上第一份定义各种类型的可用冷冻液化气（RLG）储罐并定义全封闭储罐的出版物。它提供了设计和施工建议，这些建议后来被采纳为一些国际公认的标准。现在有许多储罐已按照这些标准建造，并成功安全运行多年。因此，第2版没有复制这些数据，而是集中于RLG储罐的操作、检查和维护建议，并包括新的双混凝土储罐设计选项。

Edition 3 expands on the internal inspection advice and includes a new section dedicated to external inspection. It draws on the recommendations given in its sister publication EEMUA 159: Above ground flat bottomed storage tanks - a guide to inspection, maintenance and repair. Selection criteria detail the performance standards of the different types of RLG tanks against the normative operational and accidental loads. Advice is given on the risk assessment to determine which type of tank would be most appropriate for the site selected. Information about commissioning and de-commissioning of RLG tanks is also provided. When Edition 1 of EEMUA 147 was published in the mid-1980s it was the first publication in the world to define the various types of refrigerated liquefied gas (RLG) tanks available and define the full containment tank. It provided design and construction recommendations which were later adopted into a number of internationally accepted standards. There are now numerous tanks that have been constructed to these standards and operated successfully and safely for many years. As a consequence, Edition 2 did not replicate this data but concentrated instead on recommendations on the operation, inspection and maintenance of RLG tanks and included the new double concrete tanks design options.
