23、TC 234 “Gas infrastructure”, 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2016 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the la
24、test by September 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some 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 1918-3:1998. This document has bee
25、n prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. For a list of significant technical changes between this European Standard and EN 1918-3:1998, see Annex B. This document is Part 3 of a European Standard on “Gas infrastructure - Underground
26、gas storage”, which includes the following five parts: Part 1: Functional recommendations for storage in aquifers; Part 2: Functional recommendations for storage in oil and gas fields; Part 3: Functional recommendations for storage in solution-mined salt caverns; Part 4: Functional recommendations f
27、or storage in rock caverns; Part 5: Functional recommendations for surface facilities. Directive 2009/73/EC concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and the related Regulation (EC) No 715/2009 on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks also aim at technic
28、al safety 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 accordingly, where required and appropriate. According to th
29、e CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, H

EN 1918-3:2016 (E) DIN EN 1918-3:2016-11 5 1 Scope This European Standard covers the functional recomm
31、endations for design, construction, testing, commissioning, operation, maintenance and abandonment of underground gas storage (UGS) facilities in solution-mined salt caverns up to and including the wellhead. It specifies practices which are safe and environmentally acceptable. For necessary surface
32、facilities for underground gas storage, EN 1918-5 applies. In this context “gas“ is any hydrocarbon fuel: which is in a gaseous state at a temperature of 15 C and under a pressure of 0,1 MPa (this includes natural gas, compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The stored produc
33、t is also named fluid); which meets specific quality requirements in order to maintain underground storage integrity, performance, environmental compatibility and fulfils contractual requirements. This European Standard specifies common basic principles for underground gas storage facilities. Users
34、of this European Standard should be aware that more detailed standards and/or codes of practice exist. A non-exhaustive list of relevant standards can be found in Annex A. This European Standard is intended to be applied in association with these national standards and/or codes of practice and does
35、not replace them. In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in the national legislation/regulation with the requirements of this European Standard, the national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in CEN/TR 13737 (all parts). NOTE CEN/TR 13737 (all parts)
36、 contains: clarification of relevant legislation/regulations applicable in a country; if appropriate, more restrictive national requirements; national contact point for the latest information. This European Standard is not intended to be applied retrospectively to existing facilities. 2 Normative re
