IGEM/GL/6 Edition 2
Permitry for the safe flow of gas
IGEM/GL/6 Edition 1 was entitled Non-Routine Operations. The scope of Edition 2 has been broadened to cover permitry for the safe flow of gas, for both the upstream and downstream pipelines intended to convey primarily Natural Gas and it includes the following types of permits:
- Non-Routine Operation (NRO)
- Routine Operation (RO)
- Permits to work (PTW)
- Other ancillary permitry for work procedures and maintenance.
The majority of the standard is applicable to gases other than Natural Gas.
The Panel decided that IGEM/GL/6 should provide Gas Industry specific guidance for the application of HSG 250.
SCO Review
The GDNOs have updated their suite of Safe Control of Operations Documents. They were assisted by the Independent Gas Transporters so that there will be a common suite of permitry documents for the "Distribution" sector of the industry.
The Panel agreed that one of its primary objectives was to ensure that IGEM/GL/6 was aligned to and did not conflict with the updated suite of SCO documents, whilst at the same time providing a framework for the industry as a whole.
