This
guideline G 408 shall apply to the conversion of pipelines made from plastic to
hydrogen-containing, methane-rich gases (2nd gas family) or hydrogen (5th gas
family) in accordance with DVGW Code of Practice G 260 up to an operating
pressure of 16 bar and ends with the main shut-off valve, the thematic
threshold to DVGW Guideline G 655. This guideline G 408 can also be applied to
the conversion of plastic gas pipeline operated with gases that do not conform
to the specifications of DVGW Code of Practice G 260 if the gases’ specific
characteristics and, if applicable, other existing regulations are taken into
account. The respective guidelines on pipeline conversion shall be consulted
for networks using different pipeline materials (e.g., plastic and steel).
The DVGW Set of Rules forms the basis of and sets standards for all activities of the gas and water utility industry sectors, with the main objective being to advance and ensure safety, hygiene and innovations aimed at environmental conservation and consumer protection.
it‘s the basis for basic, in-service and advanced training as well as for testing and certifying products, procedures, businesses and individuals.
provides legal certainty and a safe environment for action, enhances the efficiency of businesses and helps optimise cost-effective actions.
- increases product safety, thus augmenting customer confidence while simultaneously reducing product reliability risks.

The DVGW Set of Rules in English
The DVGW Set of Rules
consists of approximately 650 DVGW rules. An English translation of the
most important sets of rules is available for international companies
and institutions as well as for users and companies in the gas and water
industries of non-German-speaking countries.
A module titled “Set of Rules for Well Construction” that discusses the
design, construction and operation of wells is available specifically
for companies and users specialising in water abstraction.
An overview of the English rules can be found in the list on the left.

DVGW – THE authority on setting technical rules
The
DVGW counts about 14,000 members and is the technical and scientific
association of the gas and water industry. For more than 150 years, the
DVGW has been setting the technical standards for the safe and reliable
supply of gas and water. Being free from any economic lobbyism as well
as being a non-profit-making, neutral association, the DVGW ensures
transparent rule-making processes.
Technical expert knowledge ensures safety, hygiene and innovation
More
than 280 technical committees staffed with representatives of the gas
and water industries collaborate with over 2,600 honorary, independent
experts to elaborate the DVGW sets of rules. Their expert knowledge and
practical experience guarantee their acknowledgement and acceptance by
both the German legislator and their peers.
The national bundling of expert knowledge forms the basis for European
and international activities. Being represented on the DIN, CEN and ISO
standardisation committees, the DVGW has a considerable weight in
co-shaping national as well as European and international standards.
