National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 12583:2000.
In the UK, the national safety body, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
(see CR 13737), has required additional precautions at gas turbine driven plant, e.g.
compressors, combined heat and power (CHP) and combined cycle gas turbine
(CCGT), in order to comply with the general provisions of the Health and Safety at
Work etc. Act 1974 (HSWA). These additional precautions are contained in the HSE
Guidance (Control and safety risks at gas turbine driven CCGT and CHP plant).
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee

Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 "Gas supply", the secretariat of which
is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by
endorsement, at the latest by February 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
February 2001.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are
bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United
Kingdom.
There is a complete suite of functional standards prepared by CEN/TC 234 "Gas Supply" to cover all parts of the gas
supply system from the input of gas to the transport system up to the inlet connection of the gas appliances,whether for
domestic, commercial or industrial purposes.
In preparing this standard a basic understanding of gas supply by the user has been assumed.
Gas supply systems are complex and the importance on safety of their construction and use has led to the development
of very detailed codes of practice and operating manuals in the member countries. These detailed statements embrace
recognized standards of gas engineering and the specific requirements imposed by the legal structures of the member
countries.
This European Standard supersedes all other European Standards for gas compressor stations for gas supply systems
above 16 bar.
1 Scope
This European Standard describes the specific functional requirements for the design, construction, operation,
maintenance and disposal activities for safe and secure gas compressor stations.
This European Standard applies to gas compressor stations with a Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) over 16 bar and
with a total shaft power over 1 MW.
This European Standard need not be applied to gas compressor stations operating prior to the publication of this standard.
For gas compressor stations already in service, this standard applies by analogy only to the parts of the stations to be
modified, extended or disposed. This standard can also be applied at any time to areas of operation and maintenance.
The purpose of this European Standard is to ensure the safety of the public and the safety of all the personnel involved,
to cover environmental issues and avoid damage to property.
This European Standard specifies common basic principles for gas supply systems. Users of this European Standard
should be aware that more detailed national standards and/or codes of practice may exist in the CEN member countries.
This European Standard is intended to be applied in association with the national standards and/or codes of practice
setting out the above mentioned principles.
In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in the national legislation/regulation with the requirements
of this standard, the national legislation/regulation shall take precedence.
This standard does not apply to:
- off-shore gas compressor stations;
- gas compressor stations for compressed natural gas filling-stations.

Station pipework shall be constructed to comply with the relevant clauses of EN 1594 and
EN 12732.
7.8.2 Pre-commissioning
During pre-commissioning all components and devices necessary for safe and reliable operation shall be calibrated and
functionally checked and/or tested and be documented.
Protective system testing shall be recorded and documented. Other testing should also be recorded.
All pipework shall be cleaned and should be flushed, dried and preserved on site before commissioning.
The documentation required by the relevant Authorities shall be available before commissioning.
7.8.3 Commissioning
Purging of the station pipework and equipment shall be conducted in such a way that any gas/impurity mixtures are
removed in a non-hazardous manner.
Pressurizing to the operating pressure shall be done in a controlled way with a stop(s) for leakage testing and/or checks.
Following the station pressurization, start-up and shut down, and any other relevant sequences shall be tested and
checked.
Specific safety precautions shall be taken during the introduction of gas. e.g. fire extinguishing equipment, gas detector,
warning signs.
The first start-up of the compressor unit shall only be initiated after completing the commissioning of all the involved
systems. The protective equipment related to safety shall be tested and be able to operate under the control of UCS and
under the control of SCS. The auxiliary systems shall be tested and be able to operate under the control of the UCS and
SCS as applicable.
Attention shall be paid on site to determine the surge line to optimize the operating range.
During these tests adjustable parameters and limits should be set.

7.8.5 Handover
Final handover of the station shall be carried out after successful completion of all commissioning tests and checks and
the issue of a final countersigned report. This report shall include archives, construction drawings, specifications and all
documents relating to the design and construction, all the documentation required by the Authorities and the instructions
for operation and maintenance activities.
Partial handover can be considered only if safety requirements are not compromised.
8 Operation
8.1 Introduction and basic requirements
The occupier is responsible for formulating policy with regard to station operation.
Methods and procedures set forth herein serve as a guide and do not relieve the operator from the responsibility for more
prudent action. Therefore, each operator having gas compressor stations within the scope of this standard shall:
a) set up an operating organization;
b) have written procedures covering normal operation;
c) have written procedures covering failures and emergencies;
d) have specific procedures for planned operational circumstances;
e) manage the procedures;
f) provide training for personnel;
g) nominate a person to be responsible for safety.

8.6.3 Venting
Specific precautions could be necessary when venting large volumes of gas.
In the event of manual venting, each source of ignition shall be removed from the area and fire extinguishers shall be
provided. Manual venting during adverse atmospheric conditions should be avoided.
For automatic venting systems the designated safe area shall be considered as a restricted area.

9.6 Maintenance tools and equipment
Appropriate tooling, and equipment to perform the maintenance tasks shall be used.
9.7 Safety
No maintenance shall be carried out without the prior approval of the occupier.
The occupier shall give his approval for the work to be carried out when he is satisfied that it can be done safely.
To ensure maximum safety, a permit to work should be issued by the authorized person.
It shall also be the responsibility of the personnel undertaking maintenance work to ensure that it is safe for the work to
commence and that it is performed in a safe manner.

f) the use of torches, portable flood lights, extension leads and electrically powered tools or equipment unless they
are certified for use in hazardous areas shall not be allowed;
g) the operation of internal combustion engines that power trucks, cars, air compressors, pumps, generators and other
maintenance equipment in hazardous atmospheres if not provided with special devices for such atmospheres shall
not be allowed;
h) welding or carrying out other works causing sparks shall not be allowed.
In the above mentioned cases fire extinguishers should be provided.
10.2 Disposal
Compressor stations which are to be disposed shall be decommissioned as stated in 10.1.
All the equipment should be removed.
Attention shall be given to safely isolate any external services into the station
EXAMPLE These are considered as electrical power, water and drainage.
All work shall comply with the appropriate national and local environmental legislation.
