The pipeline operator shall have suitable systems for technical audit, safety audit and performance review to ensure that established procedures and training programmes continue to meet the obligations of the pipeline operator to users. These should take into account experiences gained. EXAMPLE 1 Operational incidents or other relevant dangerous occurrences.
This system should include, for each activity: adequate numbers of competent persons; and adequate other resources. EXAMPLE 2 Vehicles, communication systems and appropriate tools. 4.2 Competence The qualification of competent persons involved in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a gas infrastructure, or parts of it, shall be in accordance with the characteristics of the pipeline system they are working on. These characteristics include, but are not limited to the following: SIST EN 12007-1:2013
EN 12007-1:2012 (E) 9 family of gas; local conditions; design or operating pressure; materials used in the system; jointing techniques; and emergency procedures. 5 Gas characteristics 5.1 Gas quality and family The quality and family of gas supplied through a gas infrastructure shall be specified so that its characteristics are known to system designers and pipeline operators. This specification includes all relevant characteristics which contribute to safe operation and combustion. Changes in the properties of the gas which fall outside pre-determined operating limits shall be notified to pipeline operators in advance. Gas may also be treated or conditioned for operational and maintenance reasons. EXAMPLE 1 For the control of leakage. EXAMPLE 2 For the control of icing conditions at pressure regulating stations and installations. Safe operating procedures for systems supplying gases heavier than air shall recognize the tendency for these gases to settle downwards should they escape from the system. 5.2 Odorization Gas supplied to end users should possess a distinctive odour. Where gas is to possess a distinctive odour its presence in the atmosphere shall be readily detectable at all gas concentrations of 20 % of the lower explosive limit and above. Where the gas does not possess a natural distinctive odour one shall be added for the purpose. The odorant, where added, shall be non-toxic and harmless for the concentrations employed in normal applications, and the odour shall disappear after combustion. An odorant may be omitted in gas delivered specifically for further processing or other special purposes. In this case alternative means shall be available to detect leaks. 5.3 Toxicity and lack of oxygen The potential toxic effects of gas constituents and the potential lack of oxygen shall be considered to ensure safety in all work practices undertaken on the gas infrastructure, in using the gas and in dealing with escaping gas. 6 Materials The characteristics of materials of pipes, fittings and components and the mode of construction of pipelines shall be appropriate to the types of gas being supplied and the conditions under which they are operated. SIST EN 12007-1:2013
EN 12007-1:2012 (E) 10 Materials and products shall conform to the relevant European Standards or, in their absence, to the national or other established standards and shall be of a quality fit for purpose. Consideration shall be given to the effects of climatic conditions on material behaviour and its consequential influence on performance. Materials can give a different technical performance in risk or long term behaviour when exposed to or stored under extreme climatic conditions. EXAMPLE 1 At lower temperatures the critical pressure for rapid crack propagation in polyethylene pipe is reduced. EXAMPLE 2 At low temperatures in steel pipes loss of resilience can occur, and at high temperatures disbondment of coatings on steel pipes can occur. NOTE The critical pressure for rapid crack propagation in polyethylene pipe is tested and verified according to product standards, e.g. EN 1555. For further information, reference should be made to the specific standards for the materials concerned. 7 Design 7.1 General Gas infrastructures are designed to provide a safe and continuous supply of gas. This design considers technical aspects and procedures together with environmental and safety aspects. The gas infrastructure consists of pipeline components arranged in networks or single lines, with associated pressure regulating stations or installations and connections to consumers via service lines. NOTE During the design phase these parts of the system may be considered separately. Basic data and design principles should be documented together with the actual data as the gas infrastructure is built. Data such as the diameter, material, design pressure, family of gas and routing maps should be available as long as the gas infrastructure is in operation, see 13.2. 7.2 Basic design data The design of any gas infrastructure, or part thereof, should commence with a study collecting relevant basic data for the part of the gas infrastructure to be installed. This basic data shall include, but are not limited to the following: the family of gas; anticipated gas flow; design pressure; diameter(s); construction materials; layout of the existing gas infrastructure; the need for pressure regulation; and provisional routing of pipeline sections. The design of the gas infrastructure for flow rate capacity shall as a minimum take account of, but not be limited to the following: SIST EN 12007-1:2013
EN 12007-1:2012 (E) 11 a) the family of the gas; b) the location and number of actual or anticipated customers, the predicted customer type, consumption patterns and climatic conditions in the area to be served. Due account should be taken of the diversity of demand in establishing design flow rates; c) the technical operating values to be applied such as: 1) the pressure, which is required to be maintained within values that permit correct functioning of pressure regulators and specific user appliances, at all parts of the system; 2) the requirement to maintain a minimum pressure in the supply system according to the rules of the member countries and the normal pressure range for the system concerned to ensure the safe use of gas; 3) the gas velocity in the pipes, which should be sufficiently low as to limit excessive movement of any impurities and the generation of unacceptable noise phenomena; d) the diameter sizing formulas, elected from those generally used according to pressure ranges. In the case of complex networks, appropriate computer calculation procedures may be used. The parameters identified above should be explicitly indicated in the design process; e) the dynamic variations in gas flow due to special industrial applications. EXAMPLE On-off burners. 7.3 Pressure relationships The relationship between pressures is given in Table 1. SIST EN 12007-1:2013
EN 12007-1:2012 (E) 12 Table 1
Pressure relationships MOP a (bar) TOP ≤ MIP≤ STP/CTP > 5 < P ≤ 16 1,2 MOP 1,30 MOP MIP 2 < P ≤ 5 1,3 MOP 1,40 MOP MIP 0,1 < P ≤ 2 1,5 MOP 1,75 MOP MIP P ≤ 0,1 1,5 MOP 2,50 MOP b MIP a These relations are only valid when DP = MOP. b When gas appliances, tightness tested at 150 mbar, are directly connected to installation pipework, the MIP downstream of the regulator shall be limited to 150 mbar.
MOP shall be equal to or less than the design pressure of the system, including its components. The maximum set value of the active pressure regulator in the working stream shall not exceed MOP. NOTE Where MOP is less than DP, the pressure relationships given in Table 1 may be related to DP.
EXAMPLE Where DP is equal to 0,1 bar and MOP equal to 0,075 bar TOP can reach 1,5 × 0,1 bar and MIP can reach 2,5 × 0,1 bar. For information on specific pressure settings reference should be made to EN 12186 and EN 12279. 7.4 Pipeline sections 7.4.1 General Pipeline sections shall be supported, anchored or buried in such a way that, during their lifetime the pipeline sections will not move with respect to their installed position, except for the foreseen permitted displacements. Submerged pipes shall have enough own weight or outside loading during the construction and operation phases to guarantee horizontal and vertical stability. The pipe wall thickness selection should be based on sufficient resistance to internal pressure and also the forces expected during handling and transportation. Additional measures should be provided as necessary to protect the pipe against third party damage, these measures include, but are not limited to the following: increased depth of cover; a control zone along the pipeline route; increased wall thickness; additional mechanical protection; and increased frequency of surveillance.

4.1 Quality and safety management
To provide a consistent and appropriate standard of quality management the pipeline operator shall have
organizational, operational and administrative procedures to ensure that activities can be undertaken in a safe
and technically sound manner. The pipeline operator shall have suitable systems for technical audit, safety
audit and performance review to ensure that established procedures and training programmes continue to
meet the obligations of the pipeline operator to users. These should take into account experiences gained.
EXAMPLE 1 Operational incidents or other relevant dangerous occurrences.
This system should include, for each activity:
adequate numbers of competent persons;
adequate other resources.
EXAMPLE 2 Vehicles, communication systems and appropriate tools.
4.2 Competence
The qualification of competent persons involved in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a
gas supply system, or parts of it, shall be in accordance with the characteristics of the pipeline system they
are working on. These characteristics include, but are not limited to the following:

5 Gas characteristics
5.1 Gas quality and family
The quality and family of gas supplied through a gas supply system shall be specified so that its
characteristics are known to system designers, and pipeline operators. This specification includes all relevant
characteristics which contribute to safe operation and combustion. Changes in the properties of the gas which
fall outside pre-determined operating limits shall be notified to pipeline operators in advance.
Gas may also be treated or conditioned for operational and maintenance reasons.
EXAMPLE 1 For the control of leakage.
EXAMPLE 2 For the control of icing conditions at pressure regulating stations and installations.
Safe operating procedures for systems supplying gases heavier than air shall recognize the tendency for
these gases to settle downwards should they escape from the system.
5.2 Odorization
Gas supplied to end users should possess a distinctive odour.
Where gas is to possess a distinctive odour its presence in the atmosphere shall be readily detectable at all
gas concentrations of one fifth of the lower explosive limit and above. Where the gas does not possess a
natural distinctive odour one shall be added for the purpose.
The odorant, where added, shall be non-toxic and harmless for the concentrations employed in normal
applications, and the odour shall disappear after combustion.
An odorant may be omitted in gas delivered specifically for further processing or other special purposes. In
this case alternative means shall be available to detect leaks.
5.3 Toxicity and lack of oxygen
The potential toxic effects of gas constituents and the potential lack of oxygen shall be considered to ensure
safety in all work practices undertaken on the gas supply system, in using the gas and in dealing with
escaping gas.
6 Materials
The characteristics of materials of pipes, fittings and components and the mode of construction of pipelines
shall be appropriate to the types of gas being supplied and the conditions under which they are operated.
Materials and products shall conform to the relevant European Standards or, in their absence, to the national
or other established standards and shall be of a quality fit for purpose. Consideration shall be given to the
effects of climatic conditions on material behaviour and its consequential influence on performance. Materials
can give a different technical performance in risk or long term behaviour when exposed to or stored under
extreme climatic conditions. For further information reference should be made to the specific standards for
the materials concerned.
EXAMPLE 1 The critical pressure for rapid crack propagation in polyethylene pipe is reduced at lower temperatures.
EXAMPLE 2 Loss of resilience can occur in steel pipes at low temperatures, or disbondment of coatings at high
temperatures.

7 Design
7.1 General
Gas supply systems are designed to provide a safe and continuous supply of gas. This design considers
technical aspects and procedures together with environmental and safety aspects.
The gas supply system consists of pipeline components arranged in networks or single lines, with associated
pressure regulating stations or installations and connections to consumers via service lines.
NOTE During the design phase these parts of the system can be considered separately.
Basic data and design principles should be documented together with the actual data as the gas supply
system is built. Data such as the diameter, material, design pressure, family of gas and routing maps should
be available as long as the gas supply system is in operation (see 13.2 ).
7.2 Basic design data
The design of any gas supply system, or part thereof, should commence with a study collecting relevant basic
data for the part of the gas supply system to be installed. This basic data include, but are not limited to the
following:
the family of gas;
anticipated gas flow;
design pressure;
diameter(s);
construction materials;
layout of the existing gas supply system;
the need for pressure regulation;
provisional routing of pipeline sections.
The design of the gas supply system for flow rate capacity shall as a minimum take account of, but not be
limited to the following:
a) the family of the gas;
b) the location and number of actual or anticipated customers, the predicted customer type, consumption
patterns and climatic conditions in the area to be served. Due account should be taken of the diversity of
demand in establishing design flow rates;
c) the technical operating values to be applied such as:
1) the pressure, which is required to be maintained within values that permit correct functioning
of pressure regulators and specific user appliances, at all parts of the system;
2) the requirement to maintain a minimum pressure in the supply system according to the rules
of the member countries and the normal pressure range for the system concerned to ensure
the safe use of gas;
10
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 12007-1:2011
prEN 12007-1:2010 (E)
3) the gas velocity in the pipes, which should be sufficiently low as to limit excessive movement
of any impurities and the generation of unacceptable noise phenomena;
d) the diameter sizing formulas, elected from those generally used according to pressure ranges. In the case
of complex networks, appropriate computer calculation procedures can be used. The parameters
identified above should be explicitly indicated in the design process;
e) the dynamic variations in gas flow due to special industrial applications.
EXAMPLE On-off burners.
7.3 Pressure relationships
The relationship between pressures is given in Table 1.
Table 1 ― Pressure relationships
a
MOP TOP MIP STP/CTP
bar ≤ ≤ >
5 < P ≤ 16 1,2 MOP 1,30 MOP MIP
2 < P ≤ 5 1,3 MOP 1,40 MOP MIP
0,1 < P ≤ 2 1,5 MOP 1,75 MOP MIP
b
P ≤ 0,1 1,5 MOP 2,50 MOP MIP
a
These relations are only valid when DP = MOP.
b
When gas appliances, tightness tested at 150 mbar, are directly connected to installation pipework, the MIP
downstream of the regulator shall be limited to 150 mbar.
MOP shall be equal to or less than the design pressure of the system, including its components. The
maximum set value of the active pressure regulator in the working stream shall not exceed MOP.
NOTE Where MOP is less than DP, the pressure relationships given in Table 1 can be related to DP.
EXAMPLE Where DP is equal to 0,1 bar and MOP equal to 0,075 bar TOP can reach 1,5 x 0,1 bar and MIP can
reach 2,5 x 0,1 bar.
For information on specific pressure settings reference should be made to EN 12186 and EN 12279.
7.4 Pipeline sections
7.4.1 General
Pipeline sections shall be supported, anchored or buried in such a way that, during their lifetime the pipeline
sections will not move with respect to their installed position, except for the foreseen permitted displacements.
Submerged pipes shall have enough own weight or outside loading during the construction and operation
phases to guarantee horizontal and vertical stability. The pipe wall thickness selection should be based on
sufficient resistance to internal pressure and also the forces expected during handling and transportation.

oSIST prEN 12007-1:2011
prEN 12007-1:2010 (E)
Additional measures should be provided as necessary to protect the pipe against third party damage, these
measures include, but are not limited to the following:
increased depth of cover;
a control zone along the pipeline route;
increased wall thickness;
additional mechanical protection;
increased frequency of surveillance.
7.4.2 Routing
7.4.2.1 Public area
Pipelines routed along public streets should comply with legal requirements concerning consent, location and
distances. Where there is a choice, mains should be laid preferably in footways or verges.
7.4.2.2 Private area
Where it is necessary to lay mains, or associated plant in private land, the agreement document between the
landowner and the pipeline operator shall include all necessary precautions to be taken to ensure full safety of
operation and permit subsequent access to the land for ease of maintenance.
The agreement should ensure that a zone of land adjacent to the main or associated plant remains free of any
third party works which can be a potential risk to the main.
NOTE This includes subsequent construction and the planting of trees.
The agreement should also contain adequate provision for consultation prior to any proposed third party works.
The pipeline operator may elect to exercise any option to prevent the proposed works or request modifications
to them to avoid hazard.
7.4.3 Pipework inside buildings
For the technical requirements for pipework inside buildings reference should be made to EN 1775.
The pipework element of the gas supply systems situated in buildings shall be designed, constructed and
protected so that the effects of a fire on the pipework do not lead to an explosion or significant aggravation of
the fire.
NOTE These objectives can be achieved for example by the use of one or more of the following:
isolating the pipework by means of a manual or automatic means of isolation;
the use of materials, components and joints that withstand high temperatures;
location of all or part of the pipework in an enclosure providing protection in the event of fire;
