Abstract

This standard specifies detailed functional requirements for the design, selection of materials, construction, inspection and testing of industrial gas installations and assemblies with an operating pressure greater than 0,5 bar and of non-industrial gas installations with an operating pressure greater than 5 bar in buildings and areas intended for domestic, commercial, public and mixed uses, starting from the gas supplier's behind the network operator's point of delivery up to the inlet connection to the gas appliance; normally the inlet isolation valve. This standard also covers the inlet connection to the gas appliance comprising of the pipework that does not fall within the scope of the appliance standard.
This standard applies to gas installations operating at ambient temperatures between -20°C and 40°C and operating pressures up to and including 60 bar. For operating conditions outside these limitations, reference should be made to EN 13480 for metallic pipework.
For industrial gas installations up to and including 0,5 bar and for non-industrial (domestic and commercial) gas installations up to and including 5 bar in buildings and areas intended for domestic, commercial, public and mixed use, EN 1775 applies.
For gas installations that do not fall within the scope of EN 1775 or other European standards, this standard applies.
In this standard, the term "gas" refers to combustible gases, which are gaseous at 15°C and 1 013 mbar absolute atmospheric pressure. These gases are commonly referred to as manufactured gas, natural gas or Liquidfied Petroleum Gas (LPG). They are also referred to as first, second or third family gases (see table 1 of EN 437:1993).
LPG storage vessels (including all ancillaries fitted directly to storage vessels) are excluded. Also excluded are LPG installations and sections of LPG installations operating at vapour pressure.
In this standard, all pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.

Overview

prEN 15001-1 (CEN) defines detailed functional requirements for gas supply systems and gas installation pipework with operating pressures above specified limits: industrial installations with pressure greater than 0,5 bar and non-industrial (domestic and commercial) installations with pressure greater than 5 bar. The standard covers the installation from the gas supplier's point behind the network operator's delivery point up to the inlet connection to the gas appliance (normally the inlet isolation valve).

Key operating limits in the scope include ambient temperatures from -20°C to 40°C and operating pressures up to and including 60 bar. For operating conditions outside these limits, the standard refers to EN 13480 for metallic pipework. prEN 15001-1 applies to combustible gases gaseous at 15°C and 1 013 mbar (including manufactured gas, natural gas and LPG as defined in EN 437:1993). Exclusions include LPG storage vessels and ancillary items fitted directly to them, and LPG installation sections operating at vapour pressure. All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.

Key Topics

  • Design requirements for high-pressure gas installation pipework
  • Selection of materials suitable for pressures up to 60 bar and ambient temperature range
  • Construction practices to ensure safety, accessibility and maintainability
  • Inspection and testing criteria and functional verification prior to commissioning
  • Inlet connection requirements for pipework outside the appliance standard
  • Definitions and gas family references (see EN 437:1993)

These topics focus on practical implementation: selecting compatible materials, specifying safe construction techniques, and defining inspection and testing regimes that reduce operational risk.

Applications

prEN 15001-1 is intended for designers, installers, system integrators, inspectors and owners involved in:

  • Industrial gas installations operating above 0,5 bar
  • Commercial and non-domestic gas installations operating above 5 bar
  • Building and site operators responsible for high-pressure distribution up to appliance inlet

Benefits include improved safety, regulatory compliance, consistent quality in construction and testing, and clearer specification of responsibilities between gas suppliers, network operators and site owners.

Related Standards

  • EN 13480 - referenced for metallic pipework when conditions exceed prEN 15001-1 limits
  • EN 1775 - applies to industrial installations up to and including 0,5 bar and non-industrial up to and including 5 bar
  • EN 437:1993 - classification of gas families (first, second, third)

Use prEN 15001-1 together with these standards to create a compliant, robust approach to high-pressure gas installation design, materials selection, construction, inspection and testing.
