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. This group will report back to each of these technical committees for the standards they are responsible. 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.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
