CEN/TC 54/JWG X - Characterization of gaskets within flange connections
Joint Group of TC 54, TC 74, TC 267 (and in addition TC 269) experts responsible for developing a common understanding to be applied for any improvement of the characterization of gaskets within flange connections.

To ensure a harmonization of existing standards and drafts of these technical committees, to recommend: 1) to keep the current Annex G of EN 13445-3: 2002 and to include the content of EN13445-3/prA10 as a separate informative Annex GA which can be applied as an experimental development of the method when a leak rate is needed. This will be reviewed within max. 3 years to fit the common understanding; 2) to ask the Joint Group to review the proposed revisions or amendments of EN1591-1 & 2 before issuing to ensure they comply with the common understanding; 3) to ask the Joint Group to review EN 13480-3 Annex P and propose any change which should be needed to comply with the common understanding.
