EN 12007-5:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard describes the general functional requirements for gas supply through service line pipe systems and covers the pressure range up to and including 16 bar maximum operating pressure (MOP). It gives normative and informative references for safe and secure gas infrastructures. It applies to their design, construction, operation and the related aspects of safety, environment and public health, all in order to provide a safe and secure supply of gas. This European Standard is intended to be used in addition to the EN 12007 series of European Standards. The requirements of this European Standard are based on safe gas engineering practice under conditions normally encountered in the gas industry. Requirements for all unusual conditions cannot be specifically provided for, nor are all engineering and construction details prescribed. Existing industrial safety regulations applying to work areas, safety devices and safe work practices are not intended to be supplanted by this European Standard. Persons responsible for the design, construction and operation of gas infrastructures should have regard to the guidance given in this European Standard, the EN 12007 series of European Standards and to other relevant standards. It is the responsibility of these persons to apply these functional requirements, supplemented with other proven good practice to the particular circumstances of each gas infrastructure. The recommendations in this European Standard are intended to be applied by competent persons who have suitable knowledge and experience. Notes in the text are informative. The designer, constructor or operator of service line and pipeline systems is cautioned that this European Standard is not a design handbook or code of practice. Additional national or company standards describing the details are needed. These detailed standards should be in line with the basic principles of this European Standard. All pressures are gauge pressure unless stated otherwise. In preparing this European Standard it was recognised that the suite of relevant European Standards is incomplete. Reference may be made where appropriate to international, national or other standards until relevant European Standards are available. SIST EN 12007-5:2014



EN 12007-5:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard describes the specific functional requirements for service lines in addition to the general functional requirements of EN 12007-1 for: a) a maximum operating pressure (MOP) up to and including 16 bar; b) an operating temperature between -20 °C and +40 °C. It applies to their design, construction, commissioning, decommissioning, operation, maintenance, extension and other associated works. The service line is the physical asset comprising of pipework from the gas main branch saddle or top tee to the outlet of the distribution system operator’s nominated point(s) of delivery (for example: isolation valve, regulator, meter connection or combination of regulator and isolation valve). The ownership and operation responsibility can vary between member states. The extent of the service line can differ in each member state. To illustrate this, the various points of deliveries are indicated in Figure 1. Consult Figure 1 (A/B/C/D/E) and member state regulations and standards. NOTE The valve at point A is not necessarily utilised by each member state. National preference for points of deliveries should be stated in the national foreword.

EN 12007-5:2014 (E) 7 — pressure regulating installations are given in EN 12279 or EN 12186. — pressure testing, commissioning and decommissioning are given in EN 12327. This European Standard represents the recommendations at the time of its preparation. It does not apply retrospectively to installations before the publication date unless specifically stated. This European Standard specifies common basic principles for gas infrastructure. Users of this European Standard should be aware that more detailed national standards and/or code of practice may 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 European Standard, the national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in CEN/TR 13737 (all parts). CEN/TR 13737 (all parts) 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. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Introduction
This European Standard describes the general functional requirements for gas supply through service line
pipe systems and covers the pressure range up to and including 16 bar maximum operating pressure (MOP).
It gives normative and informative references for safe and secure gas infrastructures. It applies to their design,
construction, operation and the related aspects of safety, environment and public health, all in order to provide
a safe and secure supply of gas.
This European Standard is intended to be used in addition to the EN 12007 series of European Standards.
The requirements of this European Standard are based on safe gas engineering practice under conditions
normally encountered in the gas industry. Requirements for all unusual conditions cannot be specifically
provided for, nor are all engineering and construction details prescribed.
Existing industrial safety regulations applying to work areas, safety devices and safe work practices are not
intended to be supplanted by this European Standard.
Managers with responsibilities for the design, construction and operation of gas infrastructures should have
regard to the guidance given in this European Standard, the EN 12007 series of European Standards and to
other relevant standards. It is the responsibility of these managers and engineers to apply these functional
requirements, supplemented with other proven good practice to the particular circumstances of each gas
infrastructure.
The recommendations in this European Standard are intended to be applied by competent persons who have
suitable knowledge and experience.
The designer, constructor or operator of service line and pipeline systems is cautioned that this European
Standard is not a design handbook or code of practice. Additional national or company standards describing
the details are needed. These detailed standards should be in line with the basic principles of this European
Standard.
This European Standard specifies common basic principles for gas infrastructure. Users of this European
Standard should be aware that more detailed national standards and/or code of practice may 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 European Standard, the national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in
CEN/TR 13737 (all parts).
CEN/TR 13737 (all parts) give:
 clarification of all legislations/regulations applicable in a member state;
 if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements;
 a national contact point for the latest information.
All pressures are gauge pressure unless stated otherwise.
In preparing this European Standard it was recognized that the suite of relevant European Standards is
incomplete. Reference may be made where appropriate to international, national or other standards until
relevant European Standards are available.
This European Standard represents the recommendations at the time of its preparation. It shall not be applied
retrospectively to installations before the publication date unless specifically stated.

1 Scope
This European Standard describes the specific functional requirements for service lines in addition to the
general functional requirements of EN 12007-1 for:
a) a maximum operating pressure (MOP) up to and including 16 bar;
b) an operating temperature between -20 °C and +40 °C.
The service line is the physical asset comprising of the pipeline from the gas main branch saddle or top tee to
the outlet of the distribution system operator’s nominated point(s) of delivery (for example: isolation valve,
regulator, meter connection or combination of regulator and isolation valve).
The ownership and operation responsibility can vary between member states. The extent of the service line
can differ in each member state. To illustrate this, the various points of deliveries are indicated in Figure 1.
Consult Figure 1 (A/B/C/D/E) and member state regulations and standards.
NOTE 1 The valve at point A is not necessarily utilised by each member state.
NOTE 2 National preference for points of deliveries should be stated in the national foreword.

4 Design
4.1 General
4.1.1 Any person who is responsible for the design of service lines shall be a competent person.
4.1.2 Gas infrastructures shall be designed to provide a safe and continuous supply of gas taking into
consideration the specified lifetime. This design considers technical aspects and procedures together with
environmental and safety aspects per Clause 7 of EN 12007-1:2012.
4.1.3 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.
4.1.4 The design of the service line under normal operational conditions shall address, at a minimum but
not be limited to, the effects of:
 the MOP and flow rates;
 ground subsidence;
 temperature, and fluctuations (high or low);
 loading due to depth of cover;
 chemical corrosion by water, e.g. extra-ordinary acids, salts and (cyclic) hydrocarbons;
 other underground infrastructures (operating under normal conditions);
 mechanical impact e.g. manual digging tools, vehicles, etc.;
 gas velocity causing erosion;
 seismic activity; and
 UV exposure.
NOTE Additional considerations from external elements can also include:
 traffic loading;
 stray electrical currents; and
 gradual growth of tree roots.
4.1.5 The design shall consider additional measures based on the following risk factors:
 location of service line e.g. outside/inside, above ground/below ground, etc;
 the building usage;
 the local public and traffic density; and
 the response time to make safe.
4.1.6 Service lines shall be designed and constructed to facilitate maintenance. The distance to other
structures and infrastructures should be considered.

oSIST prEN 12007-5:2013
prEN 12007-5:2012 (E)
4.1.7 For emergency isolation, maintenance and alteration there shall be a minimum of one manual
isolation valve. The manual isolation valve shall be accessible to the distribution system operator and/or the
consumer.
4.1.8 Specific additional protection measures shall be applied to protect against the consequence of failure
of any component within the service line where practicable.
NOTE This can be a safety device (for example one that protects against excess temperatures or excess flow) or a
passive protection measure (e.g. enclosure of the pipework).
4.2 Protection
4.2.1 The designer shall consider protection of the service line from impact, corrosion, UV, vandalism and
possible exposure to fire.
4.2.2 The design shall protect against serious aggravation in the event of a fire and minimise the likelihood
of an explosion. This may be achieved by the use of one or more of the following provisions:
 manual means of isolation;
 automatic means of isolation,; or
 automatic means of limiting flow;
 routing all or part of the service line in an area of minimum consequence;
 location of all or part of the pipework in a suitable enclosure;
 use of materials, components and joints that withstand high temperatures;
 coating pipework with a protective material to enable the pipework to withstand high temperatures for a
given period of time.
NOTE 1 Reference should be made to the national legislation/regulation.
NOTE 2 For pipework internal to the premises Annex A of EN 1775:2008 gives, as examples, two procedures (A & B)
for tests on components of pipework and their jointing for resistance to high temperatures.
4.2.3 Where an electrical cable, high pressure water main or other services can potentially damage the gas
service line additional protection of the service line should be considered.
Where proximities required by national requirements cannot be achieved, a protective material shall be placed
between the utilities.
