Overview
EN 14161:2011+A1:2015 (EN 14161, ISO 13623:2009 modified) is the European standard for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. It specifies functional requirements and gives recommendations for the design, materials, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and abandonment of rigid metallic pipelines used to connect wells, production plants, refineries, storage facilities and related process plants - onshore and offshore. The standard applies to new systems and to modifications of existing systems (not intended to be retroactive). Flexible pipelines and non-metallic pipelines (e.g., glass‑reinforced plastics) are excluded. On‑land gas supply systems from the transmission input to appliance inlets are also excluded.
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard covers a comprehensive pipeline lifecycle and includes the following technical topics:
- System definition and design principles: route selection, hydraulic analysis, pressure control and overpressure protection, stability and spanning considerations.
- Materials and coatings: requirements for line pipe, components, and protective coatings for long‑term performance.
- Corrosion management: internal and external corrosion evaluation, mitigation measures, monitoring programmes and documentation.
- Construction and installation: land and offshore installation practices, welding/joining, coating application, cleaning, gauging and as‑built surveys.
- Testing, pre‑commissioning and commissioning: pressure test requirements, acceptance criteria, safety procedures and records.
- Operation, maintenance and integrity: integrity monitoring, pigging, maintenance planning, life extension and abandonment procedures.
- Safety and environmental protection: public safety, hazard identification, emergency shutdown systems and environmental measures; includes normative safety evaluation and supplementary public‑safety requirements for higher‑hazard fluids on land.
- Special topics: crossings/encroachments, adverse ground/seabed conditions, offshore risers, fabricated components and section isolation valves.
Practical applications and who uses this standard
EN 14161 is used by professionals responsible for pipeline projects across the oil & gas value chain:
- Pipeline designers and engineers (onshore & offshore)
- Project and construction contractors
- Pipeline operators and asset managers implementing integrity and maintenance programs
- Inspection and testing organizations performing commissioning and pressure tests
- Health, safety & environmental (HSE) specialists and regulators assessing compliance and risk
- Procurement and materials specialists specifying pipe, coatings and components
Practical uses include defining design criteria, preparing technical specifications, developing corrosion‑management plans, planning construction and commissioning activities, and establishing operational and abandonment procedures.

Gases or liquids not specifically included by name should be classified in the category containing fluids most closely similar in hazard potential to those quoted. If the category is not clear, the more hazardous category shall be assumed. 5.3 Hydraulic analysis The hydraulics of the pipeline system should be analysed to demonstrate that the system can safely transport the fluids for the design conditions specified in 5.1, and to identify and determine the constraints and requirements for its operation. This analysis should cover steady-state and transient operating conditions. NOTE Examples of constraints and operational requirements are allowances for pressure surges, prevention of blockage such as caused by the formation of hydrates and wax deposition, measures to prevent unacceptable pressure losses from higher viscosities at lower operating temperatures, measures for the control of liquid slug volumes in multi-phase fluid transport, flow regime for internal corrosion control, erosional velocities and avoidance of slack line operations. 5.4 Pressure control and overpressure protection Provisions such as pressure-control valves or automatic shutdown of pressurizing equipment shall be installed, or procedures implemented, if the operating pressure can exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure anywhere in the pipeline system. Such provisions or procedures shall prevent the operating pressure from exceeding MAOP under normal steady-state conditions. Overpressure protection, such as relief or source-isolation valves, shall be provided if necessary to prevent incidental pressures exceeding the limits specified in 6.3.2.2 anywhere in the pipeline system. 5.5 Requirements for operation and maintenance The requirements for the operation and maintenance of the pipeline system shall be established and documented for use in the design and the preparation of procedures for operations and maintenance. Aspects for which requirements should be specified include: requirements for identification of pipelines, stations and fluids transported; principles for system control, including consideration of manning levels and instrumentation; location and hierarchy of control centres; voice and data communications; corrosion management; SIST EN 14161:2011+A1:2015
