Gas infrastructure - Gas pressure control stations for transmission and distribution - Functional requirements
This document specifies the functional requirements relevant for design, materials, construction, testing, operation and maintenance of gas pressure control stations to ensure their reliability in terms of safety of the station itself and the downstream system and continuity of service. This document is applicable for gas pressure control stations which are part of gas transmission or distribution systems for hydrogen, and hydrogen rich, and methane rich gases. Additional requirements in the case of gases heavier than air and/or toxic or corrosive gases are not covered by this document. This document does not apply to gas pressure control stations in operation prior to the publication of this document. However, Annex D of this document can be used as guidance for the evaluation of stations in operation prior to the publication of this document, regarding the change of the type of gas, e.g. repurposing for the use with hydrogen. The stations covered by this document have a maximum upstream operating pressure, which does not exceed 100 bar. For higher maximum upstream operating pressur
