What’s New?
Previously known as “Defining the end of the network”, this updated technical standard provides a clear framework for the arrangement of:
- Gas distribution mains
- Services
- Primary meter installations
- Installation pipework
Key Features of IGEM/G/1 Edition 3
- Clear definitions for boundaries between gas networks, primary meter installations (including any associated meter regulator), and installation pipework.
- Illustrations of recommended arrangements that reflect current industry practice and simplify future designs, ensuring a safe and secure gas supply.
- Examples of legacy arrangements that are no longer recommended due to design or layout concerns.
- Identification of boundaries and interfaces to support accurate information exchange between organisations and individuals with safety responsibilities.
Defining these boundaries and interfaces is critical for maintaining a safe and secure gas supply to premises. It ensures clarity and consistency across the industry, enabling effective collaboration and compliance.
