This Technical Rule G 260 specifies the
requirements for the quality of fuel gases used
in the supply of the general public with gas and
sets the parameters for gas delivery, gas
transportation, gas distribution, gas storage,
operation of gas plants/systems and gas
appliances for commercial and industrial gas
applications as well as for development,
standardization, and testing.
Gases transported in separate pipelines which are
not used in the supply of the general public, or
are used as energy carrier or resource, and/or
are used in special gas appliances are not
subject to the scope of this Technical Rule.
