Gas Infrastructure - Compressor stations - Functional requirements
This European Standard describes the specific functional requirements for the design, construction, operation, maintenance and disposal activities for safe and secure gas compressor stations.
This European Standard applies to new gas compressor stations with a Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) over 16 bar and with a total shaft power over 1 MW. For existing compressor stations, this European Standard applies to new compressor units. Where changes/modifications to existing installations take place, due account may be taken of the requirements of this European Standard.
This European Standard does not apply to gas compressor stations operating prior to the publication of this European Standard.
The purpose of this European Standard is intended to:
- ensure the health and safety of the public and all site personnel,
- to cover environmental issues and
- to avoid incidental damage to nearby property.
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 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. 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.
This European Standard does not apply to:
- off-shore gas compressor stations;
- gas compressor stations for compressed natural gas filling-stations;
- customer installations downstream of the point of custody transfer;
- design and construction of driver packages (see Annex C).
For supplies to utility services such as small central heating boilers reference should be made to EN 1775.

Gasinfrastruktur - Verdichterstationen - Funktionale Anforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die spezifischen funktionalen Anforderungen für sichere und zuverlässige Gasverdichterstationen fest, die bei Planung, Errichtung, Betrieb, Instandhaltung und Entsorgung zu beachten sind.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für neue Gasverdichterstationen mit einem maximal zulässigen Betriebsdruck (MOP) über 16 bar und einer Gesamtkupplungsleistung über 1 MW. Für bestehende Verdichterstationen gilt diese Europäische Norm für neue Verdichtereinheiten. Falls Änderungen/Modifikationen an bestehenden Anlagen erfolgen, können die Anforderungen dieser Norm angemessen berücksichtigt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm braucht nicht auf Gasverdichterstationen angewendet zu werden, die vor der Veröffentlichung dieser Europäischen Norm in Betrieb genommen wurden.
Der Zweck dieser Europäischen Norm ist es
- die Gesundheit und Sicherheit der Öffentlichkeit und der Mitarbeiter sicherzustellen
- die Aspekte des Umweltschutzes zu behandeln und
- die Beschädigung fremden Eigentums zu verhindern.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält allgemeine Grundsätze der Gasinfrastruktur. Anwender dieser Europäischen Norm sollten sich bewusst sein, dass detailliertere nationale Normen bzw. Technische Regeln in den CEN Mitgliedsländern existieren können.
Diese Europäische Norm sollte in Verbindung mit diesen, die oben erwähnten allgemeinen Grundsätze darlegenden nationalen Normen bzw. Technischen Regeln angewendet werden.
Beim Auftreten von Widersprüchen aufgrund restriktiverer Anforderungen in nationalen Gesetzen/Vorschriften als in dieser Norm gefordert, haben nationale Gesetze/Vorschriften Vorrang, wie im CEN/TR 13737 (alle Teile) beschrieben. Der CEN/TR 13737 (alle Teile) enthält
- eine Klarstellung aller in den Mitgliedsstaaten anwendbaren Gesetze und Bestimmungen;
- soweit zutreffend, restriktivere nationale Anforderungen;
- eine nationale Kontaktstelle für aktuelle Informationen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
- Off-shore-Gasverdichterstationen;
- Gasverdichter in Erdgastankstellen;
- Kundenanlagen hinter der Liefergrenze;
- Auslegung und Bau von Antriebseinheiten (siehe Anhang C).
Für die Anbindung von Versorgungeinrichtungen, z. B. von kleinen Heizkesseln, sollte EN 1775 angewandt werden.

Infrastructures gazières - Stations de compression - Prescriptions fonctionnelles
La présente Norme européenne établit les prescriptions fonctionnelles spécifiques pour la conception, la construction, l'exploitation, l’entretien et l’abandon en sécurité des stations de compression du gaz.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux nouvelles stations de compression dont la pression maximale de service (MOP) est supérieure à 16 bar et dont la puissance totale à l’arbre est supérieure à 1 MW. Dans le cas des stations de compression existantes, la présente norme s’applique aux nouvelles unités de compression. Lorsque des changements/modifications d'installations existantes se déroulent, les exigences de cette norme peuvent être prises en compte.
Cette Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux stations de compression de gaz en fonctionnement avant la publication de la présente Norme européenne.
Le but de cette Norme européenne est destiné à :
- assurer la santé et la sécurité du public et de tout le personnel du site,
- couvrir les questions environnementales et
- éviter d'endommager incidemment les biens à proximité.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les principes de base communs pour les infrastructures gazières. Il convient que les utilisateurs de la présente norme gardent à l'esprit l'existence éventuelle, dans les pays membres du CEN, de codes de pratique et/ou de normes nationales plus détaillés.
La présente Norme européenne est destinée à s'appliquer conjointement avec ces normes nationales et/ou codes de pratique, qui détaillent les principes de base précités.
En cas de conflits en termes d'exigences plus restrictives de la législation nationale/réglementation avec les exigences de cette norme, la législation nationale/règlementation prévaut, comme illustré dans le CEN/TR 13737 (toutes les parties). Le CEN/TR 13737 (toutes les parties).donne :
- des clarifications sur les lois et règlements applicables dans les états membres ;
- si applicable, des impositions nationales plus contraignantes ;
- un point de contact national pour les informations les plus récentes.
La présente norme n'est pas applicable :
- aux stations de compression de gaz de plates-formes off-shore ;
- aux stations de compression de gaz pour stations de remplissage de gaz naturel comprimé pour les véhicules.
- aux installations des clients en aval du point de transfert de responsabilité ;
- à la conception et la construction des packages de l’entrainement (voir Annexe C).
Pour les fournitures aux services publics tels que les petites chaudières de chauffage central, il convient de se référer à la norme EN 1775.

Infrastruktura za plin - Kompresorske postaje - Funkcionalne zahteve
Standard EN 12583 opisuje posebne funkcionalne zahteve za dejavnosti projektiranja, konstruiranja, delovanja, vzdrževanja in odstranjevanja za varne plinske kompresorske postaje. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za nove plinske kompresorske postaje z največjim obratovalnim tlakom (MOP), večjim od 16 barov, in skupno pogonsko močjo osi kompresorja, večjo od 1 MW. Ta evropski standard se pri obstoječih kompresorskih postajah uporablja za nove kompresorske enote. Kadar pride do sprememb obstoječe napeljave, se lahko upoštevajo zahteve iz tega evropskega standarda. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za plinske kompresorske postaje, ki so obratovale pred objavo tega evropskega standarda. Namen tega evropskega standarda je: – zagotoviti varnost in zdravje posameznikov ter osebja na kraju dela, – zajeti okoljevarstvene težave in – se izogniti nenamerni škodi na bližnjem premoženju. Ta evropski standard določa splošna osnovna načela za infrastrukturo za plin. Uporabniki tega evropskega standarda se morajo zavedati, da lahko v državah članicah CEN obstajajo podrobnejši nacionalni standardi in/ali kodeks ravnanja. Ta evropski standard je namenjen uporabi v povezavi s temi nacionalnimi standardi in/ali kodeksi ravnanja, ki določajo zgoraj navedena osnovna načela.
