Scope
This European Standard describes the specific functional requirements for steel pipelines in addition to the general functional requirements of EN 12007-1 for maximum operating pressures up to and including 16 bar. This European Standard specifies common basic principles for gas infrastructure. Users of this European Standard are expected to be aware that more detailed national standards and/or codes of practice can exist in the CEN member countries. This European Standard is intended to be applied in association with these national standards and/or codes of practice setting out the above-mentioned basic principles.
Purpose
This proposal intends
- to generally revise the technical provisions for pipelines with maximum operation pressure up to and including 16 bar for the state of the art
- to support the decarbonisation of the energy grid and the establishment of the future hydrogen grid by providing the appropriate technical provisions for the topic
- to ensure safety over the different stages of life-cycle of the hydrogen grid.
- to adapt the document to climate requirements in line with EC policy for adaptation to climate change
