Gas infrastructure - Gas pressure regulating stations for transmission and distribution - Functional requirements
This European Standard contains the relevant functional requirements for gas pressure regulating stations, which form part of gas transmission or distribution systems. It is applicable to the design, materials, construction, testing, operation and maintenance of gas pressure regulating stations.
This European Standard does not apply to gas pressure regulating stations commissioned prior to the publication of this standard.
The stations covered by this European Standard have a maximum upstream operating pressure which does not exceed 100 bar. For higher maximum upstream operating pressures this standard should 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 flowrate is equal to or less than 200 m³/h under normal conditions, EN 12279 applies.
Basic system requirements for gas pressure regulating stations are contained in this European Standard. Requirements for individual components (valves, regulators, safety devices, pipes, etc.) or installation of the components are contained in the appropriate European Standards.
For combined regulating and measuring stations, the additional requirements of EN 1776 can apply.
The requirements in this European standard do not apply to the design and construction of auxiliary facilities such as sampling, calorimetering, odorisation systems and density measuring. These facilities are covered by the appropriate European Standards, where existing, or other relevant standards.
The requirements of this European standard 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 requirements in this European standard are based on the physical and chemical data of gaseous fuels - including non-conventional gases - in accordance with Table 1 of EN 437:2009 for first and second family gases. Additional requirements in the case of gaseous fuels heavier than air and/or sour gases are not covered by this European Standard.
The objective of this European standard 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 management during the design, construction and operation.
This European Standard specifies common basic principles for the gas infrastructure. Users of this European Standard should 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.
In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in national legislation/regulation with the requirements of this standard, the national legislation/regulation shall take precedence as illustrated in CEN/TR 13737 (all parts). CEN/TR 13737 gives:
- clarification of all legislations/regulations applicable in a member state;
- if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements;
- a national contact point for the latest information.

Infrastruktura za plin - Plinske postaje za regulacijo tlaka za prenos in distribucijo - Funkcionalne zahteve
Ta evropski standard vsebuje relevantne funkcionalne zahteve za plinske postaje za regulacijo tlaka, ki so del plinskih sistemov za prenos ali distribucijo. Uporablja se pri obliki, materialih, konstrukciji, testiranju, obratovanju in vzdrževanju plinskih postaj za regulacijo tlaka.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za plinske postaje za regulacijo tlaka, ki so obratovale pred objavo tega standarda.
Postaje, vključene v ta evropski standard, delujejo z največjim vhodnim delovnim tlakom, ki ne presega 100 barov. Pri višjih največjih vhodnih delovnih tlakih naj bi ta standard služil kot smernica.
Če je sesalni cevovod postaje priključni vod, največji vhodni delovni tlak ne preseže 16 barov, načrtovani pretok pa je enak ali manjši od 200 m³/h v normalnih razmerah, potem velja standard EN 12279.
V tem evropskem standardu so vključene osnovne sistemske zahteve za plinske postaje za regulacijo tlaka. Zahteve za posamezne sestavne dele (ventili, regulatorji, varnostne naprave, cevi itd.) ali inštalacija sestavnih delov so vsebovani v ustreznih evropskih standardih.
Pri kombiniranih postajah za regulacijo in merjenje je mogoče, da veljajo dodatne zahteve standarda EN 1776.
Zahteve v tem evropskem standardu se ne uporabljajo za projektiranje in gradnjo pomožnih obratov, kot so sistemi za vzorčenje, kalorimetrijo, odišavljenje in merjenje gostote. Ti obrati so zajeti v ustreznih evropskih standardih, če obstajajo, ali v drugih relevantnih standardih.
Zahteve tega evropskega standarda temeljijo na dobri tehnološki praksi oskrbe s plinom v razmerah, ki so običajne v plinski industriji. Zahtev za neobičajne razmere ni mogoče izrecno določiti, niti niso predpisane vse inženirske in gradbene podrobnosti.
Zahteve v tem evropskem standardu temeljijo na fizikalnih in kemijskih podatkih plinastih goriv, vključno z nekonvencionalnimi plini, v skladu s preglednico 1 standarda EN 437 2009 za pline prve in druge družine. Dodatne zahteve v primeru plinastih goriv, težjih od zraka, in/ali kislih plinov niso vključene v tem evropskem standardu.
Cilj tega evropskega standarda je zagotoviti varno delovanje takih postaj. To pa ne odvezuje vseh vpletenih, da med načrtovanjem, gradnjo in obratovanjem ne bi poskrbeli za ustrezne ukrepe in učinkovit sistem upravljanja kakovosti.
Ta evropski standard določa splošna osnovna načela za infrastrukturo za plin. Uporabniki tega evropskega standarda naj bi se zavedali, da lahko v državah članicah CEN obstajajo podrobnejši nacionalni standardi in/ali kodeksi ravnanja.
Ta evropski standard je namenjen uporabi v povezavi s temi nacionalnimi standardi in/ali kodeksi ravnanja, ki določajo zgoraj navedena osnovna načela.
Kadar so strožje zahteve v nacionalni zakonodaji/predpisih v nasprotju z zahtevami iz tega standarda, ima prednost nacionalna zakonodaja/predpis, kot je navedeno v standardu CEN/TR 13737 (vsi deli). CEN/TR 13737 navaja:
– pojasnitev celotne zakonodaje/vseh predpisov, ki veljajo v državi članici,
– po potrebi strožje nacionalne zahteve,
– nacionalno kontaktno točko za najnovejše informacije.

EN 12186:2014 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 12186:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 “Gas infrastructure”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12186:2000. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. Annex B provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous edition. There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 "Gas Infrastructure" to cover all parts of the gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on-shore transmission network up to the inlet connection of gas appliances, including transmission, distribution, storage, compression, pressure regulation and metering, installation, injection of non-conventional gases, gas quality issues and others. In preparing this European Standard, a basic understanding of gas infrastructure by the user has been assumed. The gas infrastructure is complex and the importance on safety of its construction and use has led to the development of very detailed codes of practice and operating manuals in the member countries. These detailed statements embrace recognized standards of gas engineering and the specific requirements imposed by the legal structures of the member countries. As gas pressure regulating stations for transmission and distribution are specifically designed for pipelines, they are considered as annexed equipment, and as such are excluded from the scope of the Directive 97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive – PED [11]). However, standard pressure equipment installed in these stations, e.g. gas pressure regulators, safety valves, valves, filters, heat exchangers, vessels, is covered by the directive [15]. Directive 2009/73/EC [13] concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and the related Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 [14] on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks also aim at technical safety (security) including technical reliability of the European gas system. These aspects are also in the scope of CEN/TC 234 standardization. In this respect CEN/TC 234 evaluated the indicated EU legislation and amended this technical standard accordingly, where required and appropriate. In this edition of EN 12186 environmental aspects relevant to the design, construction and testing, operation and maintenance, decommissioning and disposal of gas pressure regulating stations are covered in accordance with CEN Guide 4 and CEN/TR 16388. This European Standard specifies common basic principles for the gas infrastructure. Users of this European Standard should 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 basic principles as outlined in Clause 1 of this European Standard.

CEN/TR 13737 gives: — clarification of all legislations/regulations applicable in a member state; — if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements; — a national contact point for the latest information. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
This document (prEN 12186:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 “Gas
infrastructure”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12186:2000.
Annex A provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous
edition.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 „Gas Infrastructure" to cover all
parts of the gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on-shore transmission network up to the inlet
connection of gas appliances, including transmission, distribution, storage, compression, pressure regulation
and metering, installation, injection of non-conventional gases, gas quality issues and others. In preparing this
standard a basic understanding of gas infrastructure by the user has been assumed.
The gas infrastructure is complex and the importance on safety of its construction and use has led to the
development of very detailed codes of practice and operating manuals in the member countries. These
detailed statements embrace recognised standards of gas engineering and the specific requirements imposed
by the legal structures of the member countries.
As gas pressure regulating stations for transmission and distribution are specifically designed for pipelines,
they are considered as annexed equipment, and as such are excluded from the scope of the Directive
97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive – PED [11]). However, standard pressure equipment installed in
these stations, e. g. gas pressure regulators, safety valves, valves, filters, heat exchangers, vessels, is
covered by the directive [15].
Directive 2009/73/EC [13] concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and the related
Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 [14] on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks also aim
at technical safety (security) including technical reliability of the European gas system. These aspects are also
in the scope of CEN/TC 234 standardisation. In this respect CEN/TC 234 evaluated the indicated EU
legislation and amended this technical standard accordingly, where required and appropriate.
In this edition of EN 12186 environmental aspects relevant to the design. construction and testing, operation
and maintenance, decommissioning and disposal of gas pressure regulating stations are covered in
accordance with CEN Guide 4 and CEN/TR 16388.

1 Scope
This European Standard contains the relevant functional requirements for gas pressure regulating stations,
which form part of gas transmission or distribution systems. It is applicable to the design, materials,
construction, testing, operation and maintenance of gas pressure regulating stations.
This European Standard does not apply to gas pressure regulating stations commissioned prior to the
publication of this standard.
The stations covered by this European Standard have a maximum upstream operating pressure which does
not exceed 100 bar. For higher maximum upstream operating pressures this standard should 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 flowrate is equal to or less than 200 m³/h under normal conditions, EN 12279
applies.
Basic system requirements for gas pressure regulating stations are contained in this European Standard.
Requirements for individual components (valves, regulators, safety devices, pipes, etc.) or installation of the
components are contained in the appropriate European Standards.
For combined regulating and measuring stations, the additional requirements of EN 1776 can apply.
The requirements in this European standard do not apply to the design and construction of auxiliary facilities
such as sampling, calorimetering, odorisation systems and density measuring. These facilities are covered by
the appropriate European Standards, where existing, or other relevant standards.
The requirements of this European standard 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 requirements in this European standard are based on the physical and chemical data of gaseous fuels –
including non-conventional gases – in accordance with Table 1 of EN 437:2009 for first and second family
gases. Additional requirements in the case of gaseous fuels heavier than air and/or sour gases are not
covered by this European Standard.
The objective of this European standard 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
management during the design, construction and operation.
This European Standard specifies common basic principles for the gas infrastructure. Users of this European
Standard should 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.
In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in national legislation/regulation with the
requirements of this standard, the national legislation/regulation shall take precedence as illustrated in
CEN/TR 13737 (all parts). CEN/TR 13737 gives:
clarification of all legislations/regulations applicable in a member state;
if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements;
a national contact point for the latest information.
