Final Report G 201418 06/2018 ‑PDF file‑

This Code of Practice G 493‑1 serves as a basis for certifying and awarding the DVGW certification mark to specialised companies that design, manufacture and set up turn‑key gas pressure regulating and gas measuring stations. Quality, safety and security have always been given top priority by the gas industry, and this shall continue to be so in the future. Company certification is indispensable for meeting this goal; this 5th edition of this Code of Practice provides the basis for certification. This Code of Practice describes not only the qualification criteria to be met by the relevant companies but also ‑ and in some more detail ‑ the fields of work in which appointed experts have to demonstrate particular knowledge. The fact that the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) has now broadened the meaning of the term ?biogas? to include hydrogen from renewable sources has created new qualification requirements for appointed experts. These requirements shall be amended if, when and as href= https://shop.wvgw.de/508694 >here. requirements set forth in this Code of Practice are eligible for certification.

This standard G 493-2 encompasses personal and professional requirements for companies providing maintenance for gas plants and installations that fall within the scope of DVGW G 495 (A), as well as biogas injection and refeeding plants as specified by DVGW G 265-2 or hydrogen injection plants as specified by DVGW G 265-4 (M).Companies which, within the context of comprehensive plant management, either as original operators or as contractors, are responsible for the maintenance of energy plants, and possess the required personal qualification and organization according to DVGW G 1000 (A), may conduct the maintenance of gas plants without certification as defined by this standard within the network which they have the abovementioned responsibility for. The prerequisite for the maintenance without certification as mentioned above is that the expert and tech-nical conditions detailed in this standard are met by the company’s own workforce or by service providers with a TSM certification or other corresponding certifications. The company shall appoint the experts re-sponsible for maintenance in writing. The fulfilment of these conditions can be verified e.g. during a TSM review according to DVGW G 1000 (A).
