ABOUT IGEM STANDARDS

Since the 1960s, IGEM has published technical Standards that are now recognized as trusted industry Standards, used to assist in compliance with national legislation and official approved codes of practice and guidance. IGEM Standards relate to aspects of the Pipelines Safety Regulations; Pressure Systems Safety Regulations; Gas Safety (Management) Regulations; Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations; Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations; Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations; Building Regulations; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations; Pressure Equipment Regulations, Electricity at Work Regulations and so on. The Standards are drafted by expert Panels representing a cross-section of the relevant parts of the gas industry. Regulatory bodies such as HSE, Ofgem and Gas Safe RegisterTM contribute to the drafting process. The drafts are issued to the industry and other stakeholders for review and comment prior to publication and, thus, take into account the sometimes broad range of views on the content. The professional status of IGEM ensures its Standards reflect the best possible levels of safety, practice and quality within reasonable cost. In general, IGEM Standards do not overlap the scope of British Standards (BS) but they do often mirror the scope of British European Standards (BS EN) adding much more detail in many cases. There is no intent to contradict other such standards, and it is IGEMs policy to ensure this does not occur. IGEMs Standards are all available in hard copy. In addition, there are licences available for the purchase of electronic copy for use on the internal IT networks of individual companies. Standards licences can be purchased either as a complete suite or individually. Further information is available from IGEM (technical@igem.org.uk). The following SCOPE allows an at a glance view of the subject of the Standards and aspects covered. In general, the advice is set at an intermediate to high level although some books, such as IGE/GM/6, give detail on standardised installations and, hence, contain more prescription. The full list of available publications follows the SCOPE.

ABOUT THIS LIST

The list uses the following terms: Edition X Set of Amendments Where an edition number is stated, the previous edition is superseded i.e. is not current and is obsolete. The edition is issued with separate amendments to bring it up to date. These amendments are issued with every Standard purchased but, where this was purchased prior to issue of amendments, they are available for downloading or by email to from the IGEM website (www.igem.org.uk) technical@igem.org.uk. The edition has been reprinted to contain amendments (and enhancements if applicable). Owners of the previous version of the same edition will have to insert amendments (see above) to bring that version up to date. It is not essential to insert enhancements. Refers to a re-print with enhancements. Previous impressions remain current.
