4、6:2016-052A comma is used as the decimal marker. Start of application The start of application of this standard is 2016-05-01. National foreword This document (EN 1776:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 234 “Gas infrastructure” (Secretariat: DIN, Germany). The responsible German b
5、ody involved in its preparation was DIN-Normenausschuss Gastechnik (DIN Standards Committee Gas Technology), Working Committee NA 032-02-05 AA Gasmessung. This European Standard specifies functional requirements for the design, construction, testing, commissioning/decommissioning, operation, mainten
6、ance and, where appropriate, calibration, together with suitable documented provisions for all new gas measuring systems and any major changes of existing systems that are used for custody transfer. This European Standard is applicable for gases of the 2nd family as classified in EN 437. It is also
7、applicable for treated non-conventional combustible gases complying with EN 437 and for which a detailed technical evaluation of the functional requirements (such as injected biomethane) is performed ensuring there are no other constituents or properties of the gases that can affect the integrity of
8、 the measuring system. This European Standard gives guidelines when designing, installing and operating gas meters with additional functionalities (smart gas meters). Unless otherwise specified, all pressures used in this European Standard are gauge pressures. Communication protocols and interfaces
9、for gas meters and remote reading of gas meters are outside the scope of this European Standard and are covered by the appropriate parts of EN 13757, which provide a number of protocols for meter communications. Users of this standard should also note that the procedures for taking gas pipelines out
10、 of operation or putting them into operation are governed by national regulations and technical rules. In Germany, these are BGR 500 Chapter 2.31 “German trade association rules for working on gas lines” and DVGW Code of Practice G 600 (DVGW-TRGI). National regulations and technical rules for taking
11、 gas pipelines out of operation or putting them into operation are to be observed when interrupting the gas supply (see 7.6.5) as an additional functionality: German national regulations and technical rules require the on-site presence of a specialist when gas pipelines are “taken out of operation”
12、or “disabled”. The additional functionality of interrupting the gas supply as described in this document can be used for prepayment systems. In this case the checking function and quality are to be as after a “short-term interruption” to ensure a minimum level of safety. Note: The connected gas appl
13、iances shall have safety pilots and at least a type “BS” gas monitoring. As regards the requirements listed under 7.6.5 “Gas meter with remotely operated valve”, item b), only points 2) and 3) are used in Germany. This standard has been developed with the consensus of the DVGW Deutscher Verein des G
14、as- und Wasser-faches e.V. (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water). It is intended to include this standard in the body of DVGW Technical Rules. DIN EN 1776:2016-05 3Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 1776:1999-06 as follows: a) the standard has been restructured an
15、d editorially revised; b) the scope has been extended to include the design, construction, testing, commissioning/decommissioning, operation, maintenance and, where appropriate, calibration of gas measuring systems for residential use and in light industry.

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 June 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some
39、of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1776:1998. This document has been prepared under the mandate M/017 given to CEN by the European Commission
40、 and the European Free Trade Association. This version of the standard comprises a major revision of EN 1776:1998. The scope of the standard is expanded and now includes also gas measuring systems in light industry, commercial as well as residental use. For this purpose the document has been restruc
41、tured and amended. This European Standard has in part been developed in response to the work of the European Standards Organisations (CEN/CENELEC/ETSI) under the Commission Mandate M/441. The standard should be read in conjunction with CEN/CLC/ETSI TR 50572, Functional Reference Architecture for Com

43、gas transmission networks also aim at technical safety (security) including technical reliability of the European gas system. These aspects are also in the scope of CEN/TC 234 standardization. In this respect CEN/TC 234 evaluated the indicated EU legislation and amended this technical standard accor
44、dingly, where required and appropriate. This European Standard covers the environmental aspects relevant to the design, construction, operation, and maintenance and commissioning/decommissioning of gas measuring systems, where appropriate, in accordance with CEN Guide 4 and CEN/TR 16388. In preparin
45、g this European Standard, a basic understanding of gas infrastructure by the user has been assumed.

By nature, a measuring system is an aggregate of several components. In this European Standard, it is assumed that ea
