This Technical Rule G 280 applies to all gases
covered in DVGW Codes of Practice G 260 and G 262
respectively Standards DIN EN 16723-1 and -2 as
well as DIN EN 16726 and all gases used for the
supply
via pipeline system of the general public and
other consumers with a comparable level of
safety.
When using sulfur-containing odorants, the fact
shall be taken into account that the entailed
increase of
the sulfur content in the gas is undesirable for
some applications, such as its use as basic
material in the
chemical industry.
Industrial companies using natural gas
exclusively on company premises can forego
odorization if the
operator utilizes other measures to maintain the
industrial gas plant or system’s safety.
When switching from one odorant to another,
special attention shall be paid to Section 9.
The calibration of measuring devices for odorant
control requires test gases which are detailed in
Section
10.
