This document specifies the functional requirements relevant for design, materials, construction, testing, operation and maintenance of gas pressure control stations to ensure their reliability in terms of safety of the station itself and the downstream system and continuity of service.
This document is applicable for gas pressure control stations which are part of gas transmission or distribution systems for hydrogen, and hydrogen rich, and methane rich gases. Additional requirements in the case of gases heavier than air and/or toxic or corrosive gases are not covered by this document.
This document does not apply to gas pressure control stations in operation prior to the publication of this document. However, Annex D of this document can be used as guidance for the evaluation of stations in operation prior to the publication of this document, regarding the change of the type of gas, e.g. repurposing for the use with hydrogen.
The stations covered by this document have a maximum upstream operating pressure, which does not exceed 100 bar. For higher maximum upstream operating pressures, this document can be used as a guideline.
If the inlet pipework of the station is a service line and the maximum upstream operating pressure does not exceed 16 bar and the design flow rate is equal to 2000 kW based on the gross calorific value or less, EN 12279 applies.
This document contains the basic system requirements for gas pressure control stations. Requirements for individual components (valves, regulators, safety devices, pipes, etc.) or installation of the components are contained in the appropriate European Standards.
NOTE For combined control and measuring stations, the additional requirements of EN 1776 can apply.
The requirements in this document do not apply to the design and construction of auxiliary facilities such as sampling, calorimetering, odorization systems and density measuring. These facilities are covered by the appropriate European Standards, where existing, or applicable national standards.
The requirements of this document are based on good gas engineering practice under conditions normally encountered in the gas industry. Requirements for unusual conditions cannot be specifically provided for, nor are all engineering and construction details prescribed.
The objective of this document is to ensure the safe operation of such stations. This does not, however, relieve all concerned of the responsibility for taking the necessary care and applying effective quality and safety management during the design, construction, operation and maintenance.

This European Standard specifies constructional, functional, testing, marking, sizing and documentation requirements of gas pressure regulators:
- for inlet pressures up to 100 bar and nominal diameters up to DN 400;
- for an operating temperature range from - 20 °C to +60 °C,
which operate with fuel gases of the 1st and 2nd family as defined in EN 437:2003+A1:2009, used in the pressure regulating stations in accordance with EN 12186 or EN 12279, in transmission and distribution networks and also in commercial and industrial installations.
"Gas pressure regulators" hereafter will be called "regulators" except in the titles.
For standard regulators when used in pressure regulating stations complying with EN 12186 or EN 12279, the Annex ZA lists all applicable essential safety requirements of the European legislation on pressure equipment except external and internal corrosion resistance for applications in corrosive environment.
This document considers the following temperature classes/types of regulators:
- temperature class 1: operating temperature range from −10 °C to 60 °C;
- temperature class 2: operating temperature range from −20 °C to 60 °C;
- type IS: (integral strength type);
- type DS: (differential strength type).
This document applies to regulators which use the pipeline gas as a source of control energy unassisted by any external power source.
The regulator may incorporate a second regulator, used as monitor, complying with the requirements in this document.
The regulator may incorporate a safety shut off device (SSD) complying with the requirements of EN 14382.
The regulator may incorporate a creep (venting) relief device, complying with the requirements in Annex E and/or a vent limiter, complying with the requirements in Annex I.
This document does not apply to:
- regulators upstream from/on/in domestic gas-consuming appliances which are installed downstream of domestic gas meters;

The normative Annex G of this document lists some suitable materials for pressure bearing parts, inner metallic partition walls, auxiliary devices, integral process and sensing lines, connectors and fasteners. Other materials may be used when complying with the restrictions given in Table 5.
Continued integrity of gas pressure regulators is ensured by suitable surveillance checks and maintenance. For periodic functional checks and maintenance it is common to refer to national regulations/standards where existing or users/manufacturers practices.
This document has introduced the reaction of the pressure regulators to the specified reasonable expected failures in terms of "fail close" and "fail open" pressure regulator types, but it should be considered that there are other types of failures whose consequences can bring to the same reactions (these risks are covered via redundancy as per EN 12186) and that residual hazards will be reduced by a suitable surveillance in use / maintenance.
In this document, both pressure regulators that can be classified as "safety accessories" by themselves (monitors) according to European legislation on pressure equipment as well as regulators that can be used to provide the necessary pressure protection through redundancy (e.g. pressure regulator with integrated safety shut-off device, pressure regulator + in-line monitor, pressure regulator + safety shut off device) are considered.
The provisions in this document are in line with the state of art at the moment of writing.
