Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15399:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 “Gas Supply
Systems”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 "Gas supply" to cover all parts of
the gas infrastructure system from the input of gas to the distribution network starting at the boundary of the
delivery station on the premises of the Gas Distribution System Operator (GDSO), up to the point of delivery
of the customers, whether domestic, commercial or industrial.
In preparing this Technical Specification, a basic understanding of Management Systems and gas distribution
networks by the user has been assumed.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
This Technical Specification deals with the design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and
abandonment of a distribution network, all in order to provide an efficient gas distribution network for the safe
and secure distribution of gas.
It is written in accordance with European Directive 2003/55/EC of 26 June 2003, concerning common rules for
the internal market in natural gas.
The provisions refer to a general organisational scheme in which:
ƒ safety,
ƒ security,
ƒ reliability, and
ƒ efficiency,
of gas distribution activity are highlighted.
This Technical Specification could be an appropriate tool supporting a GDSO in the implementation of a
management system, for example in conjunction with the ISO certification procedure, which needs to be
translated into specialized processes; it could also be used in case of assessment or certification by a third
party.
The use of this Technical Specification is first targeted at all technical operations and processes performed by
a GDSO including those activities carried out by outsourced contractors.
This Technical Specification also deals with the matter of the required competences for technical people
involved in gas distribution activities. In this context, competences should not be confused with "qualification".
The structure of this Technical Specification is based on the documents EN ISO 9001, Quality management
system – Requirements (ISO 9001:2000) and EN ISO 14001, Environmental management systems –
Requirements with guidance for use (ISO 14001:2004) and the technical contents are mainly taken from EN
12007 (all parts), Gas supply systems-Pipelines for maximum operating pressure up to and including 16 bar.
In addition and regarding environmental requirements, the Sector Forum Gas Infrastructure guide should be
taken into account.
Further important reference has been the document written by Study Group SG4.2 of IGU/WOC4 entitled
"Frame of reference regarding Pipeline Integrity Management System", and parts of the internal Procedures
written by distribution Companies.
1 Scope
The field of application of this Technical Specification is the new and existing gas grid starting at the boundary
of the delivery station on the premises of the GDSO up to the point of delivery of the customers that can be at
a means of isolation (e.g. at the outlet of a LPG storage vessel or at the meter outlet connection) typically
nominated by the GDSO and may be defined in national regulations or standards.
For existing installations this Technical Specification does not apply to design, construction, testing and
commissioning.
The main objectives of this Technical Specification can be summarized by the following:
 Provide guidance about the minimum necessary requirements to be included in a management system
related to safety, security, reliability and efficiency of technical activities (design, construction, testing and
commissioning/de
