Title (German)

Anforderungen an die Qualifikation und die Organisation von Unternehmen für den Betrieb von Anlagen zur leitungsgebundenen Versorgung der Allgemeinheit mit Gas und Wasserstoff

Brief description

This Code of Practice G 1000 specifies requirements for the qualification of personnel and the organization of companies for the operation of systems for the pipeline-based supply of gas and hydrogen to the general public. The regulations form the basis for the technical safety management of the DVGW. As part of the verification process, the technical requirements of DIN EN 17649 are taken into account, particularly in the guidelines (questionnaires). In this worksheet, the requirements for companies for the operation of systems for the grid-bound supply of gas and hydrogen to the general public, regardless of the ownership structure and organizational form, are presented with regard to the structural and procedural organization. This includes companies for the operation of closed distribution networks in accordance with Section 110 EnWG. Sufficient qualification and organization of the companies is a prerequisite for ensuring planning, construction, operation and maintenance in compliance with safety and environmental regulations. In the current version of DVGW G 1000 (A), the operation of hydrogen networks is included in the scope of the Code of Practice. The experience gained to date in the course of implementing DVGW technical safety management has been taken into account. Guidelines are available for implementing the requirements within the framework of technical safety management. These can be obtained from the DVGW. The aim of this worksheet is to create a basis for the safe supply and safe operation of energy systems within the meaning of the Energy Industry Act and the High Pressure Gas Pipeline Ordinance.
