Gas infrastructure - Safety Management System (SMS), Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) and Compressor station integrity management system (CIMS) - Functional requirements

Edition date: 2026-09-23
In Force
Available languages: English
Summary: This document specifies requirements on the development and implementation of a Safety Management System (SMS) and a Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS). The SMS is applicable for system operators of a gas infrastructure. The PIMS is applicable for system operators of gas infrastructure with a maximum operating pressure (MOP) over 16 bar. This document refers to all activities and processes related to safety aspects and performed by system operators of a gas infrastructure, including those activities entrusted to contractors. It includes safety-related provisions on operation of the gas infrastructure. This document is applicable to infrastructure for the conveyance of processed, non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas according to EN ISO 13686 and gases such as biomethane and hydrogen and to mixtures of these gases with natural gas. This document covers also gases classified as group H, that are to be transmitted, injected into and from storages, distributed and utilized, as specified in EN 16726. For the requirements and test methods for biomethane at the point of entry into a natural gas network, reference is made to EN 16723-1. This document can be applied for gas infrastructure conveying gases of the 3rd gas family as classified in EN 437 or for other gases such as carbon dioxide. Specific requirements for occupational health and safety are excluded from this document. For these, other European and/or international standards, e.g. ISO 45001, apply. This document specifies common basic principles for gas infrastructure. It is important that users of this document are expected to be aware that more detailed national standards and/or codes of practice exist in the CEN member countries. This document is intended to be applied in association with these national standards and/or codes of practice setting out the above-mentioned basic principles. In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in national legislation/regulation with the requirements of this document, the national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in CEN/TR 13737 (all parts). NOTE CEN/TR 13737 (all parts) contains: - clarification of relevant legislation/regulations applicable in a country; - if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements; - national contact points for the latest information.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives au développement et à la mise en œuvre d’un système de management de la sécurité (SMS) et d’un système de management de l’intégrité des canalisations (PIMS). Le SMS s’applique aux exploitants de réseau d’une infrastructure gazière. Le PIMS s’applique aux exploitants de réseau d’infrastructure gazière avec une pression maximale de service (MOP) supérieure à 16 bar. Le présent document se rapporte à toutes les activités et à tous les processus liés aux aspects sécurité et exécutés par les exploitants de réseau d’une infrastructure gazière, y compris les activités confiées à des sous traitants. Il comprend des dispositions relatives à la sécurité sur l’exploitation de l’infrastructure gazière. Le SMS décrit s’applique aux infrastructures destinées à l’acheminement de gaz naturel traité non toxique et non corrosif conformément à l’EN ISO 13686 et de gaz non conventionnels tels que le biométhane, l’hydrogène et le gaz naturel de substitution, y compris les gaz injectés. Le présent document couvre également l’EN 16726, qui spécifie les caractéristiques et les paramètres de qualité des gaz ainsi que leurs limites, pour des gaz classés dans le groupe H qui sont destinés à être transportés, injectés dans et depuis les stockages, distribués et utilisés. Les exigences et méthodes d’essai pour le biométhane au point d’entrée dans le réseau de gaz naturel sont couvertes par l’EN 16723-1. Le présent document peut s’appliquer aux infrastructures gazières qui acheminent des gaz de la 3e famille de gaz selon la classification de l’EN 437. Les exigences spécifiques concernant la santé et la sécurité au travail sont exclues du présent document car elles sont couvertes par la législation nationale et d’autres normes européennes et/ou internationales (par exemple OHSAS 18001). Le présent document spécifie les principes de base communs aux infrastructures gazières. Il est important que les utilisateurs du présent document gardent à l’esprit que des codes de bonnes pratiques et/ou des normes nationales plus détaillées peuvent exister dans les pays membres du CEN. Le présent document est destiné à s’appliquer conjointement à ces normes nationales et/ou codes de bonnes pratiques, qui détaillent les principes de base précités. En cas de divergences entre des exigences plus restrictives dans la réglementation/législation nationale et les exigences du présent document, la réglementation/législation nationale l’emporte, comme illustré dans le CEN/TR 13737 (toutes les parties). NOTE 1 Le CEN/TR 13737 (toutes les parties) contient : - la clarification de la législation/réglementation pertinente applicable dans un pays ; - si approprié, des exigences nationales plus restrictives ; - des points de contact nationaux pour obtenir les informations les plus récentes.

!Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an die Entwicklung und Implementierung eines Sicherheitsmanagementsystems (SMS), eines Rohrleitungsintegritätsmanagementsystem (PIMS) und eines Integritätsmanagementsystems für Verdichterstationen (CIMS) fest." Das SMS ist für Systembetreiber einer Gasinfrastruktur anwendbar. Das PIMS ist für Systembetreiber einer Gasinfrastruktur mit einem maximal zulässigen Betriebsdruck (MOP, en: maximum operating pressure) von über 16 bar anwendbar. Dieses Dokument bezieht sich auf alle Aktivitäten und Prozesse bezüglich der Sicherheitsaspekte, die von Systembetreibern einer Gasinfrastruktur durchgeführt werden, einschließlich jener Aktivitäten, die Subunternehmern anvertraut werden. Es enthält sicherheitsrelevante Bestimmungen für den Betrieb der Gasinfrastruktur. Dieses Dokument gilt für Infrastruktur für die Beförderung von verarbeitetem, nicht-toxischem und nicht-korrosivem Erdgas nach EN ISO 13686 und von Gasen wie Biomethan und Wasserstoff sowie Gemischen dieser Gase mit Erdgas. Dieses Dokument deckt auch Gase mit Einstufung als Gruppe H ab, die transportiert, in und aus Speicher(n) eingespeist, verteilt und verwendet werden sollen, wie in EN 16726 festgelegt. Für die Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Biomethan am Eintrittspunkt in ein Erdgasnetz wird auf EN 16723 1 verwiesen. Dieses Dokument kann für Gasinfrastruktur angewandt werden, die Gase der 3. Gasfamilie nach der Einstufung in EN 437 befördert, oder für andere Gase wie Kohlenstoffdioxid. Spezifische Anforderungen für den Arbeitsschutz sind von diesem Dokument ausgeschlossen. Für diese gelten andere Europäische und/oder internationale Normen wie z. B. ISO 45001. Dieses Dokument legt gemeinsame Grundprinzipien für Gasinfrastruktur fest. Es ist wichtig, dass von Anwendern dieses Dokuments erwartet wird, zu wissen, dass detailliertere nationale Normen und/oder Leitfäden in den CEN-Mitgliederländern existieren. Dieses Dokument ist dazu vorgesehen, in Verbindung mit diesen nationalen Normen und/oder Leitfäden angewandt werden, die die oben erwähnten Grundprinzipien darlegen. Wenn Konflikte hinsichtlich restriktiverer Anforderungen in nationalen Rechtsvorschriften/Regelungen mit den Anforderungen dieses Dokuments auftreten, haben die nationalen Rechtsvorschriften/Regelungen den Vorrang, wie in CEN/TR 13737 (alle Teile) verdeutlicht. ANMERKUNG CEN/TR 13737 (alle Teile) enthält:  Klärung relevanter Rechtsvorschriften/Regelungen, die in einem Land anwendbar sind;  ggf. weitergehende strengere nationale Anforderungen;  nationale Kontaktstellen für die neuesten Informationen.
