Where the regulation applies

The regulation covers combustible natural gas prepared for transportation or use. Requirements depend on the supplied form and intended use, including vehicle fuel.

What the regulation covers

Assessment covers composition, calorific value, sulphur compounds and other regulated impurities. Parameters affecting safe transport and operation of gas-consuming equipment are checked.

Examples of products and facilities

  • natural gas for trunk pipelines
  • gas for domestic and municipal use
  • industrial fuel gas
  • compressed natural gas
  • liquefied natural gas

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews the gas quality passport, compositional analysis, intended use and batch records and helps identify the assessment route and prepare the required documentation.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
