SR EN 12007-5:2024

This document describes the specific functional requirements for the transportation of gases (gaseous energy carriers) through service lines in addition to the general functional requirements of EN 12007 1 for: a) a maximum operating pressure (MOP) up to and including 16 bar; b) an operating temperature between −20 °C and +40 °C; c) gases and blends of gases which are in the gaseous state when conveyed in the gas pipeline infrastructure such as hydrogen, hydrogen rich, and methane rich gases, dimethyl ether (DME) and propane and butanes used for combustion and/or as feedstock, excluding steam and compressed air, where technical evaluation has ensured that operating conditions, constituents and properties of the gas do not affect the safe operation and maintenance of the service line. It applies to their design, construction, commissioning, decommissioning, operation, maintenance, extension and other associated works including safety and environmental aspects. The service line is the physical asset comprising of pipework from the gas main branch saddle or top tee to the outlet of the
