EN 14870-2:2004 is the modified adoption of ISO 15590-2:2003, Petroleum and natural gas industries - Induction bends, fittings and flanges for pipeline transportation systems - Part 2: Fittings to exclude the aspects that are covered by CEN/TC 234. ISO has published an updated version in August 2021. For this reason, EN 14870-2:2004 needs to be revised to adopt ISO 15590-1:2021 as modified ISO standard by excluding on-land supply systems used by the gas supply industry.
