Natural gas fuelling stations — CNG stations for fuelling vehicles
ISO 16923:2016 covers the design, construction, operation, inspection and maintenance of stations for fuelling compressed natural gas (CNG) to vehicles, including equipment, safety and control devices. ISO 16923:2016 also applies to portions of a fuelling station where natural gas is in a gaseous state and dispensing CNG derived from liquefied natural gas (LCNG) according to ISO 16924. ISO 16923:2016 applies to fuelling stations supplied with natural gas as defined in local applicable gas composition regulations or ISO 13686. It also applies to other gases meeting these requirements including biomethane, upgraded coal-bed methane (CBM) and gas supplies coming from LNG vaporization (on-site or off-site). ISO 16923:2016 includes all equipment for downstream gas supply connection (i.e. point of separation between the CNG fuelling station piping and the pipeline network). Fuelling station nozzles are not defined in this document. ISO 16923:2016 covers fuelling stations with the following characteristics: - slow fill; - fast fill; - private access; - public access (self-service or assisted); - fuelling stations with fixed storage; - fuelling stations with mobile storage (daughter station); - multi-fuel stations. ISO 16923:2016 is not applicable to domestic CNG fuelling devices without buffer storage. NOTE ISO 16923:2016 is based on the condition that the gas entering the fuelling station is odorized. For unodorized gas fuelling stations, additional safety requirements are included in Clause 10.
Stations-service de gaz naturel — Stations GNC pour le ravitaillement de véhicules
L'ISO 16923:2016 traite de la conception, la construction, l'exploitation, l'inspection et la maintenance des stations de ravitaillement au gaz naturel comprimé (GNC) pour véhicules, dont les appareils et les dispositifs de sécurité et de contrôle. L'ISO 16923:2016 s'applique également aux parties d'une station-service où le gaz naturel se trouve à l'état gazeux et où le GNC dérivé d'un gaz naturel liquéfié (GNCL) est distribué conformément à l'ISO 16924. L'ISO 16923:2016 s'applique aux stations-service alimentées par gaz naturel tel que défini par les règlements locaux applicables relatifs à la composition des gaz ou par l'ISO 13686. Elle s'applique également à d'autres gaz satisfaisant à ces exigences tels que le biométhane, le méthane de houille (MH) valorisé et les gaz provenant de la vaporisation de GNL (sur ou hors site). L'ISO 16923:2016 couvre tous les appareils en aval de la connexion d'alimentation en gaz (c'est-à-dire le point de séparation entre les conduites de la station-service GNC et le réseau de canalisations). Les pistolets de distribution des stations-service ne sont pas définis dans ce document. L'ISO 16923:2016 comprend les stations-service avec les caractéristiques suivantes: - remplissage lent; - remplissage rapide; - accès privé; - accès public (self-service ou avec assistance); - stations-service avec stockage fixe; - stations-service avec stockage mobile (station secondaire); - stations multi-carburants. L'ISO 16923:2016 ne s'applique pas aux dispositifs domestiques de ravitaillement de GNC sans stockage tampon. NOTE L'ISO 16923:2016 repose sur la condition que les gaz fournis à la station-service sont odorisés. Pour les stations-service utilisant des gaz non odorisés, des exigences de sécurité supplémentaires sont spécifiées à l'Article 10.
Polnilne postaje za oskrbo z zemeljskim plinom - Postaje za oskrbo vozil s stisnjenim zemeljskim plinom
Standard obravnava načrtovanje, gradnjo, delovanje, nadzor in vzdrževanje polnilnih postaj za oskrbo vozil s stisnjenim zemeljskim plinom (CNG), vključno z opremo ter varnostnimi in kontrolnimi napravami. Velja za dele polnilne postaje, kjer je zemeljski plin v plinastem stanju in distribucija zemeljskega plina izhaja iz utekočinjenega zemeljskega plina (LCNG) v skladu z ISO 16924, in za polnilne postaje, oskrbovane z zemeljskim plinom, kot je opredeljen v veljavnih lokalnih predpisih o sestavi plina ali v ISO 13686. Uporablja se tudi za druge pline, ki izpolnjujejo te zahteve, vključno z biometanom, izboljšanim metanom iz premogovnih ležišč (CBM) in zalogami plina iz uplinjanja utekočinjenega zemeljskega plina (v obratu ali zunaj njega). Standard ne velja za domače polnilne naprave za stisnjeni zemeljski plin brez začasnega skladiščenja.
Vključuje vso opremo za priključevanje (tj. na točki med cevovodom polnilne postaje stisnjenega zemeljskega plina in plinovodnim omrežjem). Šobe polnilne postaje v tem standardu niso vključene.
Standard vključuje polnilne postaje z naslednjimi značilnostmi:
‒ počasno polnjenje,
‒ hitro polnjenje,
‒ zasebni dostop,
‒ javni dostop (samopostrežni ali z asistenco),
‒ polnilne postaje s fiksnim/stalnim skladiščenjem,
‒ polnilne postaje z mobilnim/premičnim skladiščenjem (hčerinska postaja),
‒ postaje z različnimi vrstami goriva.
OPOMBA: Ta standard temelji na pogoju, da je plin, ki vstopa na polnilno postajo, odoriziran. Za polnilne postaje z neodoriziranim plinom so dodatne varnostne zahteve vključene v točki 10.

Natural gas fuelling stations — CNG stations for fuelling
vehicles
1 Scope
This document covers the design, construction, operation, inspection and maintenance of stations for
fuelling compressed natural gas (CNG) to vehicles, including equipment, safety and control devices.
This document also applies to portions of a fuelling station where natural gas is in a gaseous state and
dispensing CNG derived from liquefied natural gas (LCNG) according to ISO 16924.
This document applies to fuelling stations supplied with natural gas as defined in local applicable
gas composition regulations or ISO 13686. It also applies to other gases meeting these requirements
including biomethane, upgraded coal-bed methane (CBM) and gas supplies coming from LNG
vaporization (on-site or off-site).
This document includes all equipment for downstream gas supply connection (i.e. point of separation
between the CNG fuelling station piping and the pipeline network). Fuelling station nozzles are not
defined in this document.
This document covers fuelling stations with the following characteristics:
— slow fill;
— fast fill;
— private access;
— public access (self-service or assisted);
— fuelling stations with fixed storage;
— fuelling stations with mobile storage (daughter station);
— multi-fuel stations.
This document is not applicable to domestic CNG fuelling devices without buffer storage.
NOTE This document is based on the condition that the gas entering the fuelling station is odorized. For
unodorized gas fuelling stations, additional safety requirements are included in Clause 10.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16923:2016(E)
Natural gas fuelling stations — CNG stations for fuelling
vehicles
1 Scope
This document covers the design, construction, operation, inspection and maintenance of stations for
fuelling compressed natural gas (CNG) to vehicles, including equipment, safety and control devices.
This document also applies to portions of a fuelling station where natural gas is in a gaseous state and
dispensing CNG derived from liquefied natural gas (LCNG) according to ISO 16924.
This document applies to fuelling stations supplied with natural gas as defined in local applicable
gas composition regulations or ISO 13686. It also applies to other gases meeting these requirements
including biomethane, upgraded coal-bed methane (CBM) and gas supplies coming from LNG
vaporization (on-site or off-site).
This document includes all equipment for downstream gas supply connection (i.e. point of separation
between the CNG fuelling station piping and the pipeline network). Fuelling station nozzles are not
defined in this document.
This document covers fuelling stations with the following characteristics:
— slow fill;
— fast fill;
— private access;
— public access (self-service or assisted);
— fuelling stations with fixed storage;
— fuelling stations with mobile storage (daughter station);
— multi-fuel stations.
This document is not applicable to domestic CNG fuelling devices without buffer storage.
NOTE This document is based on the condition that the gas entering the fuelling station is odorized. For
unodorized gas fuelling stations, additional safety requirements are included in Clause 10.
