Explanatory Note
ISO 15589-1:2003, developed within ISO/TC 67 SC 2, has been taken over as a European Standard
prEN 14919-1 (ISO 15589-1:2003 modified).
The scope of ISO/TC 67/SC 2 is pipeline transportation systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries
without exclusions. However in CEN, the scopes of CEN/TC 12 and CEN/TC 234 overlapped until 1995. This
scope overlap caused problems for the parallel procedure for the above-mentioned items. The conflict in
scope was resolved when both the CEN/Technical Committees and the CEN/BT took the following resolution :
Resolution BT 38/1995 :
Subject : Revised scope of CEN/TC 12
“BT endorses the conclusions of the coordination meeting between CEN/TC 12 “Materials, equipment
and offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas industries” and CEN/TC 234 “Gas supply” and
modifies the CEN/TC 12 scope, to read :
“Standardization of the materials, equipment and offshore structures used in drilling, production,
refining and the transport by pipelines of petroleum and natural gas, excluding on-land supply
systems used by the gas supply industry and those aspects of offshore structures covered by IMO
requirement (ISO/TC 8).
The standardization is to be achieved wherever possible by the adoption of ISO Standards.”
Resulting from Resolution BT 38/1995, "gas supply on land" has been excluded from the scope of
ISO 15589-1:2003 for the European adoption by CEN/TC 12.
Equivalence with European Standards is provided in annex ZA.

Introduction
Pipeline cathodic protection is achieved by the supply of sufficient direct current to the external pipe surface,
so that the steel-to-electrolyte potential is lowered to values at which external corrosion is reduced to an
insignificant rate.
Cathodic protection is normally used in combination with a suitable protective coating system to protect the
external surfaces of steel pipelines from corrosion.
External corrosion control in general is covered by ISO 13623.
Users of this part of prEN 14919-1 should be aware that further or differing requirements may be needed for
individual applications. This part of prEN 14919-1 is not intended to inhibit alternative equipment or
engineering solutions to be used for the individual application. This may be particularly applicable where there
is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, any variations from this part of prEN
14919-1 should be identified.

1 Scope
This part of prEN 14919-1 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the pre-installation surveys,
design, materials, equipment, fabrication, installation, commissioning, operation, inspection and maintenance

gas industries.
This part of prEN 14919-1 is applicable to buried carbon steel and stainless steel pipelines on land. It can also
apply to landfalls of offshore pipeline sections protected by onshore-based cathodic protection installations.

conditions can include elevated temperatures, disbonded coatings, thermal-insulating coatings, shielding, bacterial attack
and unusual contaminants in the electrolyte.

10

prEN 14919-1:2004 (E)
 types and locations of earthing systems ;
 availability of power supply.
The following information should be considered in the design of the pipeline CP system :
 soil pH, and the presence of bacteria which can cause corrosion ;
 types and locations of neighbouring telemetry systems which can be used for remote monitoring.
5.3 Criteria for CP
5.3.1 General
The metal-to-electrolyte potential at which the corrosion rate is less than 0,01 mm per year is the protection
potential, E . This corrosion rate is sufficiently low so that corrosion will be within acceptable limits for the
p
design life. The criterion for CP is therefore :
E £ E
p
The protection potential of a metal depends on the corrosive environment (electrolyte) and on the type of
metal used.
The protection potential criterion applies at the metal/electrolyte interface, i.e. a potential which is free from the
IR drop in the corrosive environment (IR-free potential/polarized potential).
Some metals can be subject to hydrogen embrittlement at very negative potentials, and coating damage can
also increase at very negative potentials. For such metals, the potential shall not be more negative than a
limiting critical potential E . In such cases, the criterion for CP is :
l
E £ E £ E
l p
5.3.2 Protection criteria
5.3.2.1 The CP system shall be capable of polarizing all parts of the buried pipeline to potentials more
negative than - 850 mV referred to CSE, and to maintain such potentials throughout the design life of the
pipeline. These potentials are those which exist at the metal-to-environment interface, i.e. the polarized
potentials.
To prevent damage to the coating, the limiting critical potential should not be more negative than - 1 200 mV
referred to CSE, to avoid the detrimental effects of hydrogen production and/or a high pH at the metal surface.
For high strength steels (specified minimum yield strength greater than 550 MPa) and corrosion-resistant
alloys such as martensitic and duplex stainless steels, the limiting critical potential shall be determined with
respect to the detrimental effects in the material due to hydrogen formation at the metal surface. Stainless
steels and other corrosion-resistant alloys generally need protection potentials more positive than - 850 mV
referred to CSE; however, for most practical applications this value can be used.
For pipelines operating in anaerobic soils and where there are known, or suspected, significant quantities of
sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and/or other bacteria having detrimental effects on pipeline steels, potentials
more negative than - 950 mV referred to CSE should be used to control extern
