EN 1775:2007 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 1775:2007) 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2008. This document supersedes EN 1775:1998. The CEN/TC 234 functional standards specify the common appropriate principles and the recognised practices concerning design, construction, operation and maintenance, all for the safety and integrity of gas supply systems, taking the form of general recommendations and/or requirements. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 1775:2007 (E) 5 Introduction This functional standard is to be used as a reference standard in codes of practice in CEN member countries. These codes of practice also need to take account of regulations made by the municipal, regional or national authorities in each country to design and construct gas installations for buildings. At the time this standard was prepared, new pipe materials and jointing techniques were being developed or are already authorized for use in some member countries. Any requirements additional to the requirements of this standard put in place in member countries shall be identified in CEN/TR 13737. It is important to ensure that designers and installation operatives are trained in the correct methods of application for each system as prepared by its supplier/manufacturer.
This standard contains general recommendations for the safety of persons, animals and property and the protection of their environment. The recommendations in this standard are intended to be applied by competent persons who have suitable knowledge and experience. This standard does not consider contractual agreements, qualifications or authorizations imposed by gas distribution system operators, LPG suppliers or public authorities upon companies who design, construct or work on gas installations.

1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies general recommendations for the design, construction, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of installation pipework; pipework between the delivery point of the gas and the inlet connection to the gas appliance. This standard specifies common basic principles for gas installation pipework.
Users of this European standard need to be aware that more detailed national standards and/or codes of practice may exist in the CEN member countries. This standard is intended to be applied in association with these national standards and/or codes of practice setting out the above mentioned basic principles.
In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in national legislation/regulation with the requirements of this standard, national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in CEN /TR 13737. NOTE 1 CEN/TR 13737 contains:
- clarification of relevant legislation/regulations applicable in a country;
- if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements;
- national contact point for the latest information. This standard applies to:
 gas installations in residential, commercial and public access building having a maximum operating pressure (MOP) less than or equal to 5 bar;  industrial gas installations having a maximum operating pressure (MOP) less than or equal to 0,5 bar.
NOTE 2 For industrial gas installations having a MOP above 0,5 bar, or installations having a MOP above 5 bar, see prEN 15001-1. This standard is applicable to new installation pipework as well as to replacements of, or extensions to, existing installation pipework. This standard does not contain detailed recommendations relating to the laying of buried pipework.
NOTE 3
For more information on buried pipework, see EN 12007-1, EN 12007-2 and EN 12007-3. NOTE 4
For more information on gas pressure regulating installations, see EN 12279. NOTE 5
For more information on gas metering systems, see EN 1776. 1.2 This standard is applicable to installation pipework supplied from gas distribution systems and from liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) storage vessels.
Excluded are:  single appliance LPG installations without fixed pipework, achieved by a flexible appliance connector from an adjacent LPG storage cylinder.  LPG storage vessels. 1.3 In this standard the term 'gas' refers to combustible gases, which are gaseous at 15 °C and 1 013,25 mbar. These gases, odorized for safety reasons, are commonly referred to as manufactured gas, natural gas or liquefied petroleum gases (LPG). They are also referred to as first, second or third family gases (see EN 437). In this standard, all pressures are gauge pressures, unless otherwise stated.
