Out for Comment: IGEM/G/1 Edition 3 - Defining the boundaries between the Network, the primary meter installation and installation pipework

This standard defines various important terms within natural gas systems and provides a basic guide to the arrangement of the components required in such a system.

It provides a framework and standard approach or new gas distribution mains, services, primary meter installations and installation pipework and include:

  • Definitions for the end of the gas network, the primary meter installation (including any associated regulator) and installation pipework
  • Illustrations of a range of recommended arrangements and those which, for historical reasons, are not recommended with respect to their design or layout and are 'legacy' arrangements
  • Identification of boundaries and interfaces.

It is applicable to all natural gas systems and defines the boundaries and interfaces between the end of the Network, a primary meter installation and installation pipework and, in addition, provides a definition of recommended gas supply arrangements which will simplify any new arrangements that are required to ensure a safe and secure supply of gas to a consumer.
