Foreword
The purpose of this standard is to allow the use of natural gas within the Israeli industry, by
facilitating the connection of industrial factories to the natural gas supply system, while ensuring
the safety of people, plant and property.
The requirements relevant to the natural gas infrastructure (The transmission system, the
distribution system and the supply system) are covered by the Israeli Standard SI 5664 (all parts).
This standard covers requirements that are relevant to the Appliances Application within the
industrial premises.
The three main chapters of this standard are:
Chapter 4 - Industrial Appliances Application (IAA)

Specifying requirements relevant to each and every appliance (furnace, boiler, etc.)
including all its sub-systems and accessories, and all its supporting systems.
Chapter 5 - Safety of the workplace environment

Specifying requirements relevant to the workplace environment of Industrial Appliances
Application. Providing safety and health requirements for the employee and preventing
loss of assets, in order to protect against any hazardous situations, related to natural gas,
e.g. ventilation of explosive atmosphere, venting gas to a safe place, etc.
Chapter 6 - Testing and Approval Process

Specifying the procedures and stages necessary to obtain (I) approval for installation, (II)
approval for operation, and (III) periodic surveillance and on-site tests..
To achieve an efficient Testing and Approval process, it is recommended to include the IB
at the earliest stages of the process, as possible.
Chapter 7 Pipework
The pipework within the boundaries of the plant, including its testing and approval
process.
Chapters 4, 5 and 6 pertaining the European path of the Standard. An American path to
chapters 4, 5 and 6 is in preparation.
Chapter 7 includes both paths, European and American.

definition 3.173.17 (competent person).
3.19 Risk Assessment

The determination of quantitative or qualitative estimate of risk related to a concrete situation and
a recognized threat (also called hazard).
In Quantitative risk assessment calculations of two components of risk (R): the

magnitude of the potential loss (L), and the probability (P) that the loss will occur, are
needed
Qualitative risk assessment, based on the experiences and statistical values: A risk
assessment team consists of different persons with different background knowledge.
Specific information can be obtained from IEC 61508-5 (safety integrity) and also IEC
61511-3.
3.20 Assessment Team to conduct a risk assessment

The examination relies on the Assessment Team from various disciplines with appropriate skills
and experience who display intuition and good judgement.
Recommended roles for team members are as follows:
Study leader/ Risk Assessor: not closely associated with the design team and the
project. Trained and experienced in leading HAZOP studies. Responsible for
communications between project management and the HAZOP team. Plans the study.
Agrees study team composition. Ensures the study team is supplied with a design
representation package. Suggests guide words and guide word element/characteristic
interpretations to be used in the study. Conducts the study. Ensures documentation of the
results.
Recorder: documents proceedings of the meetings. Documents the hazards and problem
areas identified, recommendations made and any actions for follow-up. Assists the study
leader in planning and administrative duties. In some cases, the study leader may carry
out this role.
Designer: explains the design and its representation. Explains how a defined deviation
can occur and the corresponding system response.
User: explains the operational context within which the element under study will
operate, the operational consequences of a deviation and the extent to which deviations
may be hazardous.
Specialists: provide expertise relevant to the system and the study. May be called upon
for limited participation with the role revolving amongst different individuals.
Maintainer: maintenance staff representative.

3.21 Acceptable Risk
A risk that has been decreased to a level that has been proposed as acceptable by the End User
(and approved by the IB), considering his legal obligations and the safety policy of the workplace.
The acceptance of a risk to the organization is determined by the law and by the management
policy of the organization, and is in accordance with the acceptable levels of risks within other
organizations of similar business areas and is compared to global acceptance levels.
[Source: Work inspection regulation (safety management plan), 2013 regulatory clarifications
for the meaning of "acceptable risk" requirements]
It is advised to also refer to the level of an acceptable risk in the relevant standards dealing with
Risk assessment.
3.22 Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP)

A structured and systematic technique for system examination and risk management. In particular,
HAZOP is often used as a technique for identifying potential hazards in a system and identifying
operability problems likely to lead to non-conforming products or system application. HAZOP is
based on a theory that assumes risk events are caused by deviations from design or operating
intentions. Identification of such deviations is facilitated by using sets of guide words as a
systematic list of deviation perspectives.
Risks Assessments will be focused on the concept of change made to the factory. That means
existing plants has to undertake risks assessments only for the partial IAA which have been newly
adopted.
3.23 Layer of Protection (LOPA)

See definition IEC 61511 part 3.
3.24 Hazard Identification (HAZID)_

The process of identifying hazards in order to plan for, avoid, or mitigate their impacts. Hazards
identification is an important step in risk assessment and risk management
A HAZID study is carried out by a team of competent engineers from a mixture of disciplines and
is led by a person who is experienced and competent in the HAZID technique.
3.25 Hazardous Area Classification (HAC)

A simple, structured means of assessing risks and assigning appropriate measures to one particular
industrial hazard: the ignition/explosion of flammable atmospheres by electrical equipment
Area Classification Procedure (HAC) is well documented by EN 60079-10.1, IP 15, SI 25000.
3.26 Verification Dossier

A written document where the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere, the defined zones and the
needed measures are described.
3.27 SIF - Safety Instrument Function

A function of a safety related system to reduce the risk in an application with the objective to
achieve or keep a safe state. The safety function is always related to a safety loop, not to a
component or device.
3.28 SIL - Safety Integrity Level

Discrete level (one out of four) for specifying the safety integrity requirements of the safety
instrumented functions to be allocated to the safety instrumented systems. Safety integrity level 4
has the highest level of safety integrity; safety integrity level 1 has the lowest
3.29 Functional Safety

A part of the overall safety concept. Functional safety may be achieved by instrumentation e. g.
pressure transmitter, safety PLC, solenoid, actuator, valve, solenoids and others. Depends on the
system the functional safety system prevent the plant and operators against hazards. The safety
system can be triggered by different events like disoperation by humans errors, hardware failures
and environmental changes. Functional Safety is the capability of a safety system or other means
to reduce risk, to execute the actions required for achieving or maintaining a safe state for the
process and its related equipment.
3.30 Safety Accessories

Devices designed to protect pressure equipment against the allowable limits being exceeded. Such
devices include:
devices for direct pressure limitation, such as safety valves, bursting disc safety devices,
buckling rods, controlled safety pressure relief systems (CSPRS)
limiting devices, which either activate the means for correction or provide for shutdown
or shutdown and lockout, such as pressure switches or temperature switches or fluid
level switches and safety related measurement control and regulation (SRMCR)
devices.
3.31 Safety Components
A component which serves to fulfil a safety function, which is independently placed on the
market, the failure and/or malfunction of which endangers the safety of persons, and which is
not necessary in order for the machinery to function, or for which normal components may be

risk assessment is an iterative process with different possibilities for reducing the risk to
an acceptable tolerance level.
Note:
This International Standard specifies basic terminology, principles and a methodology for
achieving safety in the design of machinery/product. It specifies principles of risk
assessment and risk reduction to help designers in achieving this objective. These
principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents
and risks associated with machinery. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and

technique for identifying potential hazards in a system and identifying operability
problems likely to lead to non-conforming products or system application. HAZOP is
based on a theory that assumes risk events are caused by deviations from design or
operating intentions. Identification of such deviations is facilitated by using sets of guide
words as a systematic list of deviation perspectives.

Any other industrial natural gas consuming appliances as described in the scope of this standard
may have other relevant interfaces and shall be treated individually against applicable
requirements.
4.4.11 Functional Safety of a Partial IAA, related to natural gas use

Note: Any approval previously issued to the IAA for operation by a fuel other than natural gas, is
not valid and shall be re-issued for the natural gas operation.
5 Workplace Environment
During the planning of a new plant or new facility or a modification of an existing plant / facility,
latest upon completion before the work starts, a Working Environment Impact Assessment
(WEIA) has to be performed for the complete IAA (see clause 4.3) or the changes done by the
partial IAA (see clause 4.4) to assess the hazards of safety and Health for the workers which are
caused by the changes resulted by the conversion to natural gas, only.
During the WEIA the influence of the existing part of a plant / facility has to be considered
because this part could have an influence to the new installed IAA. After the assessment, the
employer and operators knows the hazards of the working place or working task and shall take the
necessary measures to eliminate them.
During the WEIA process, it will be checked if the requirements for safety and health of changed
part will be fulfilled and the explosion protective study and documentation will be created of this
outcome. Also the influence of the environment has be checked during the WEIA process.
One part the WEIA analysis is to check the test certificates of the installed technical safety
equipment but not a function test.
It is not part of the WEIA analyses to check if the technical equipment fulfills the requirements of
chapter 4 of this standard. This is to be done during the approval process described in chapter 6 of
this standard.
5.1
General Requirements
The goal of the WEIA is to establish a safe and healthy working environment.
If according to the WEIA performed, no unacceptable hazards/risks in the working environment
have been found, the operator can operate his plant without any changes. If the risks of some
hazards are unacceptable (see clause 5.2.2), the operator must take the appropriate measures to
obtain a safe level. The measures must comply with state of the art.
In case of a doubt with respect to the extent of the acceptance of a risk, it is required to consult
professionals with the relevant knowledge, comprehension and experience in the field of risk
assessment.
The decisions that concern the risks shall be brought to the attention of the workers.
It is recommended to act, as much as possible, towards decreasing the risk to the lowest
reasonable level that can be achieved (As Low As Reasonably Achievable principle ALARA),
or at least, towards decreasing the risk to the lowest practical level (As Low As Reasonably
Practicable principle ALARP). All of this, while maintaining the continuous improvement
principle.
Hereby, complete IAA or partial IAA equipment are considered the same. Meaning, unsafe
existing equipment shall be changed or refitted to a safe level.
For every workplace and working task a WEIA shall be realized. One part of the WEIA is the
new equipment the other part is the existing equipment with his hazards to safety and health
for the workers at the work.
The working environment could be checked during the planning / Construction phase used the
checklist of hazards and method to assess the risk.
If an explosive atmosphere occurs, a special risk assessment (see clause 5.3.35.3.2) has to perform
to define EX-Zones. This special risk assessment shall be performed during the planning phase
and immediately before operation of the equipment / plant starts.
5.2
Requirements for a working environment impact assessment (WEIA)
The general requirements for a WEIA are described in the Occupational Safety and Health
Regulation.
The general way to performing risk assessments (e.g, WEIA) is described in ISO 31010:2009.
At the ISO 31010:2009 no checklist with specific hazardous factors and no method to assess the
risk are defined. A checklist with hazardous factors and a risk matrix is defined in this standard.
A WEIA involves the following steps:
1. identification of hazards / compilation of a hazard catalogue,
2. identification of employees (and others) at potential risk from those hazards,
3. estimation of the risk involved,
4. considering if the risk can be eliminated by substitution.
if not: making a judgement (T-O-P) on whether further measures to prevent or reduce the
risk need to be installed. Judgement (T-O-P) shall include the following measures, sorted
according to their importance:
o
Technical measures
Operational measures
Personal measures
5. Behaviour related measures, especially trainings must be given to the employees

6. document hazard / risk and taken measures shall be listed in a document
7. Verify that the risk is reduced to an acceptable and a safe and healthy workplace is
established.
5.2.1
Identification of hazards
In order to identify the potential hazard in the working environment (e.g, explosion atmosphere or
CO level), the employer shall verify that an updated version of a document that summarizes the
risk assessment of safety and health (OSH) of work environment exists (and that it includes the
checklist of hazardous factors as specified in clause 8.2.3). The employer has to verify that the
recommendations of the safety and health of work (OSH) risk assessment are being implemented.
5.2.2
Methods of Risk Assessment
Risks Assessments shall be focused on the concept of change made to the factory. That means
existing plants has to undertake risks assessments only for the partial IAA which have been newly
adopted.
Every risk at a working-place or a working task has to be assed. If the risk is too big (orange or
red), the employer shall take measure to eliminate the risk to a minimum, an ALARP (as low as
reasonably practicable) Process could define.
In ISO 31010:2009 no specific method to assess the risk is given. The following table is a practice
example given in this standard.
ALARP stands for "as low as reasonably practicable", and is a term often used in the milieu of
safety-critical and safety-involved systems. The ALARP principle is that the residual risk shall be
as low as reasonably practicable.
For a risk to be ALARP it must be possible to demonstrate that the cost involved in reducing the
risk further would be grossly disproportionate to the benefit gained. The ALARP principle arises
from the fact that infinite time, effort and money could be spent on the attempt of reducing a risk
to zero. It should not be understood as simply a quantitative measure of benefit against detriment.
It is more a best common practice of judgement of the balance of risk and societal benefit.
*reduction in earning capacity
The working environment could be checked during the planning / construction phase used the
checklist of hazards and method to assess the risk.
5.2.3
Aim and arrangements hierarchy
If there is an unacceptable risk, safety and health measures must be taken. Clause 5.2.25.2.2
defines a priority of measures:
The employer must follow the hierarchy when he takes measures to ensure a safe and healthy
workplace / working task.
The way has to be followed by the employer and will be check during the Testing and
Approval process as described in chapter 6.12
5.3
Requirements to define EX-Zones
Minimum requirements for the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from
explosive atmospheres. Explosive atmosphere means a mixture with air, under atmospheric
conditions, of flammable substances in the form of gases, vapors, mists or dusts in which, after
ignition has occurred, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture.
These general requirements are valid for gaseous atmospheres. Environments where dust
atmospheres may occur are not covered by the present requirement. Mechanical incidents are not
considered at the moment in the requirement.
The requirements to define EX-Zones are described as follows:
Only approved equipment can be used.
5.3.1
Classification of Zones
Classification of zones shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of SI 60079-10.1.

Other equivalent Israeli Standards, e.g. SI 25000, SI 16000 or other equivalent National foreign
Standards can also be used.
5.3.2
Prevention of and protection against explosion
With a view to preventing, within the Occupational Safety and Health Regulation) and providing
protection against explosions, the employer shall take technical and/or organizational measures
appropriate to the nature of the operation, in order of priority and in accordance with the following
basic principles:
the prevention of the formation of explosive atmospheres, or where the nature of the
activity does not allow that,
the avoidance of the ignition of explosive atmospheres, and
the mitigation of the detrimental effects of an explosion so as to ensure the health and
safety of workers.
These measures shall where necessary be combined and/or supplemented with measures against
the propagation of explosions and shall be reviewed regularly and, in any event, whenever
significant changes occur.
5.3.3
Explosion risk assessment
During the explosion risk assessment, specific risks arising from explosive atmospheres, taking
account at least of:
the likelihood that explosive atmospheres will occur and their persistence,
the likelihood that ignition sources, including electrostatic discharges, will be present and
become active and effective,
the installations, substances used, processes, and their possible interactions,

the scale of the anticipated effects.
Explosion risks shall be assessed overall.
Places which are or can be connected via openings to places in which explosive atmospheres may
occur, shall be taken into account in assessing explosion risks.
5.3.4
Verification dossier
An explosion protection document (verification dossier) based on a explosion risk assessment

shall be issued for all places in which explosive atmospheres may occur.
In addition it shall contain the following information and documents:
Area classification documents as required by SI 60079-10.1 with plans showing the

classification and extent of the hazardous areas including the zoning
Optional assessment of consequences of ignition
Where applicable gas classification in relation to the group or subgroup of the electrical
equipment
Temperature class or ignition temperature of the gas or vapour involved
External influences and ambient temperature.

In regards to the equipment, which is built into the installation, the following information has to
be included in the verification dossier:
Manufacturers instructions for selection, installation and initial testing and approval
Documents for electrical equipment with conditions of use
Interconnection of equipment
Details of relevant calculations
Manufacturers / qualified persons declaration
Consideration should be given to obtaining information for maintenance and repair to meet the
requirements of SI 60079-17 and SI 60079-19 respectively.
Considering the installation, the verification dossier has to list the following information:
Necessary information to ensure correct installation of the equipment provided in a form

which is suitable to the personnel responsible for this activity
Documentation relating to the suitability of the equipment for the area and environment
to which it will be exposed, e.g. temperature ratings, type of protection, IP rating,
corrosion resistance
The electrical plans showing types and details of wiring systems, within the boundaries
of the IAA.
Records of selection criteria for cable entry systems for compliance with the
requirements for the particular type of protection
Drawings and schedules relating to circuit identification (electrical)
Records of the initial testing and approval
Installers/qualified persons declaration
Plans for follow-up testing and approval
5.3.5
Defining Ex-Zones
As described in clauses .! 4.2.4.1 and !

.4.2.4.2, the requirements to define Ex-Zones are defined in IEC 60079-10-1.
IEC 60079-10-1 allows the application of national standards to define Ex-Zones, e.g. SI 25000.
5.3.6
Ventilation of Ex-Zones
The definition of Ex-Zones depends on the ventilation of the area where a dangerous explosive
atmosphere can occur. It makes a big different if you use a natural ventilation or a mechanical
ventilation. During mechanical ventilation the opening in the building, the air temperature and the
wind direction and wind speed has an influence of the efficiency of the ventilation.
The calculation of the wall openings by natural ventilation is described in IEC 60079-10-1. There
are all factors described with an influence of the ventilation.
The kind of ventilation and the right calculation of the ventilation have a great impact of the
definition of the Ex-Zones, see clause 5.3.55.3.5.
5.4
Ventilation of Workplace environment
Ventilation of workplace environment shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of

SI 60079-10.1. Other equivalent Israeli Standards, e.g. SI 25000, SI 16000 or other equivalent
National foreign Standards can also be used.
5.5
Management of change (MOC) procedure
The plant employer shall prepare a management of change procedure and will act according to it.
This procedure shall specify, among others, the instructions to guide the user with respect to the
activities needed during performing a change in the plant, including:
Mapping all the means (expected and unexpected) that are due to be affected by the
change.
Assessment of all the impacts relevant to performing the change.
Defining "stopping points" to examine and to define weather the change is needed and
how to promote it (including the relevant complementary steps), before performing it.
Validation of the relevant procedures to the activity.
5.6
Electrical Installation in explosive atmospheres
Any installations shall comply with IEC 60079-14: Explosive atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical
Installations design, selection and erection.
A comparison between the International and European schemes for zoning is brought in the
following table 1, for information only.

In order to select the appropriate electrical equipment for hazardous areas, the following
information is required:
Classification of the hazardous area including the equipment protection level

requirements where applicable
Where applicable gas or vapor classification in relation to the group or subgroup of the
electrical equipment
Temperature class or ignition temperature of the gas or vapor involved
Intended application of the equipment
External influences and ambient temperature
It is recommended that the equipment protection levels (EPL) requirements are recorded on the
area classification drawing. This should also apply even if consequences have not been subjected
to special risk assessment.
6 Testing and Approval

6.1
General
This chapter outlines the process of Testing and Approval of any IAA.
The End-user shall separately submit for each IAA an individual application for approval through
an "Approval Application Form" (see clause 6.4.1.3) before installing and operating these IAAs
(Serviceability approval).
This chapter deals with Partial and Complete IAAs using natural gas burning appliance. The IAAs
mainly consist out of a complete self-contained package of burner, piping, valves and control
equipment.
The specific requirements for the different stages of testing and approval (Stage I: Approval for
installation, and Stage II: Approval for operation - Serviceability Approval) are illustrated in Fig.
Figure 6-1Figure 6-1and Figure 6-2Figure 6-2.
Note:
The goal of this chapter is to make sure that the End-User understands the regulatory and technical
requirements and processes to approve natural gas appliance installations (IAA) in industrial
premises for safe use.
6.2
Qualification of the Inspection Body (IB)
Apart from its accreditation requirements, an IB needs a Competent Body contracted or employed
with a particular expertise and a professional qualification
The Inspection Body is empowered to request possible missing documents from the Technical
Expert or an End-user if the presented documents do not comply with the required Standard.
Note In case where a Competent Body, as per definition 3.423.20 is not to be found, the IB, is
allowed to nominate an alternative body, capable to perform the relevant task in a successful
manner. This alternative body needs to be accepted by ISRAC.
6.3
Levels of existing certifications for single components applied in IAA
The below listed IAA classification criteria have been developed in order to demonstrate the
importance of certification level of the foreseen IAA products/system. Practically it means that
available certifications have a positive impact for these components/ sub-systems on the Testing
and Approval Process.
Following an examination of these available certifications by the IB, the IB shall determine the
acceptability level (see below).
These criteria are based on the fact that the majority of IAAs probably have some form of
certification within the European Community (EC).
Acceptability Level 1:
IAA products/systems are certified to International or to European standards (IEC, ISO, EN) by an
appropriate certified party (e. g. Notified Body or product certification body), for the type and size
of appliance or plant for which certification is practicable.
Self-declaration by the manufacturer(s), demonstrating the conformity of the IAA to essential
requirements of the relevant EC Directives/Standards, is ensured. Based on evidence of technical
documentation provided in spot checks, these declarations shall be validated by a Competent
Body, and approved by the IB, according to ISRAC criteria.
IAAs for which neither certification (Level 1) nor declaration (Level 2) exists, based on
procedures that were performed according to the requirements specified in the relevant standards,
shall positively be validated by a Competent Body and approved by the IB, according to ISRAC
criteria.
Additional several advices and procedures can be found in Chapter 4, or in guidance for proven
in use or prior in use declaration e.g. in IEC 61508 or IEC 61511.
Note Components which are ATEX or IECEx certified by a Notified Body, are acceptable.
The conformity declaration of the IAA shall:
be accompanied by technical instructions and installation guidance intended for the

installer/ operator as issued by the manufacturer
be accompanied by instructions for use and servicing, intended for the operator /user,
bear appropriate warning notices in compliance with the Israeli law under which the
device has been placed on the market, which must also appear on the packaging.
It is explicitly desired that the natural gas related machinery, parts of machinery, natural gas
pressure equipment appliances, and accessories with or without safety function bear correct CE
indication with an entire significant (CE) declaration of conformity.
Further proof of suitability can be:
EC Type examination certificates such as corresponding to Pressure Equipment Directive

97/23/EC will be repealed from the 19 July 2016 by the new PED Directive 2014/68/EU,
Gas Appliance Directive 2009/142/EC, Construction Product Regulation 305/2011 , EMC
Directive 2004/108/EC Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC will be repealed from the 20
April 2016 by the new LVD Directive 2014/35/EU; Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Significant Type test reports according to the applicable desired normative issued by ISO
EN 17025 appointed laboratory
Where the manufacturer is required to present a self-declaration of conformity, it shall be issued

according to the requirements of ISO 17050 (parts 1 and 2).
Note:
EC Declaration of Conformity - The EC Declaration of Conformity must contain all relevant
information to identify the Union harmonization legislation according to which it is issued, as
well as the manufacturer, the authorized representative, the notified body if applicable, the
product, and where appropriate a reference to harmonized standards or other technical
specifications.
By drawing up and signing the EC Declaration of Conformity, the manufacturer assumes
responsibility for the compliance of the product. The CE marking indicates the conformity of the
product with the Union legislation applying to the product and providing for CE marking.
CE marking
The CE marking is a key indicator (but not proof) of a products compliance with EU legislation
and enables the free movement of products within the European market, whether they are
manufactured in the EEA. By affixing the CE Marking the manufacturer declares on his sole
responsibility that the product conforms to all applicable directives/regulations. Where a notified
body is involved in the production control phase according to the applicable Union harmonization
legislation, its identification number must follow the CE marking. The manufacturer or the
authorized representative affixes the identification number if the legislation so requires, under the
responsibility of the notified body.
Notes:
(1) Existing IAAs which comply with the requirements of older versions of the applicable
standards (referred to in this standard) shall follow the requirements in clause 6.4.1.4.
(2) IAAs not covered within the scope of the applicable standards (referred to in this standard), are
allowed to follow the requirements of another foreign standards (ISO or EN), upon the
approval of the IB
6.4
Application and Approval Procedure
Once the products/components have been approved according to their Applicability Levels as per
Chapter 6.3, the following process applies to any IAA proposed to be installed and operated.
Herewith, the focus is given on the integration of the components into the natural gas appliances.
Exemplary important criteria to be considered for this application and approval procedure are
given in the following standards:
i)
Mechanical part of the piping shall be tested at least by EN 13480-5 or EN 15001.
ii) PCE (Process Control Equipment) and SIS (Safety Instrumented System) shall be
tested at least by IEC 61508 and by IEC 61511
iii) Process engineering shall be tested by SI 74600-2, SI 67600, SI 12953-7 and SI
12952-8
iv) Explosive environment check list in SI 60079 (parts 10.1, 14 and 17)
Note: Further standards applicable to the approval procedure are listed in Chapter 2 and shall be
taken into consideration, if relevant.
The approval process includes two different stages, resulting in:

1. Approval for Installation
(Stage 1)
2. Approval for Operation - Serviceability Approval
(Stage 2)
The consecutive production stage shall be covered by periodic surveillance, maintenance and
operation tests, all of them are to be determined in the Approval for Installation.

Responsibility of the End-user
Any proposed IAA complete or partial - shall fulfil the requirements according to Chapter 4 and
if applicable, Chapter 5 of this standard, before it can be submitted for approval under this
Standard (Chapter 6). For the approval process the End-user shall provide all necessary
information. In practice for this the End-user shall fully or partly rely on the Contractor and/or on
a Technical expert for gathering and structuring technical information and transfer those into the
Approval Application Form including Technical Files. The End-user is also legitimated to transfer
responsibilities in conjunction with this approval process to the Contractor and/or a Technical
Expert. The End-user shall provide technical documents as listed in chapter 6.5
The End User shall operate the IAA according to the manufacturer(s) manuals and relevant
standards.
The End User shall provide the relevant test plans and documents (ITP, and/or V&VP) to be
approved by the IB.
Once the End-user has engaged an IB he shall complete both Stages for Approval (1/ Installation
and 2/ Operation - Serviceability Approval) with this IB. For the re-approval after five years
(stage 3) the End-user is free to engage another IB.
Code/Standard deviations are forbidden to bypass, unless it is demonstrated that the same safety
level is kept (e.g, by performing a risk assessment).
6.4.1.2
Technical Documents
Before compiling the Approval Application Form, the End-User shall assort the relevant technical
documents according to his selected IAA and the corresponding applicable standards. Normally,
the Contractor and/or a Technical expert would support this task.
The End User shall keep the documentation through the life cycle of the IAA.
The Technical Documents shall demonstrate that the IAA including its product/system, complies
with applicable standards.
6.4.1.3
Approval Application Form
Once the Technical Documents are complete, the End-User or its appointed Technical Expert shall
create a full Approval Application Form which includes the Technical Documents. Both shall be
submitted to the engaged IB for verification and approval.
6.4.1.4
GAP report (IB)
6.4.1.4.1 General
The IB shall assess the received "Approval Application Form" against the requirements of this
Standard.
The IB shall conduct a GAP analysis and deliver a GAP report to specify all the issues being
incorrect or incomplete, or non-conform to this Standard (the edition which was valid at the date
of submitting the "Approval Application Form"), if any, are to be addressed for correction through
the End-user.
The End User shall demonstrate the results of the Risk assessment performed to cover the gaps
specified in the GAP report, demonstrating that the mitigation measures were successfully
implemented and hence, meeting an acceptable safety level. The IB shall verify that the GAPS
are covered successfully.
6.4.1.4.2 Gap Report for IAAs that comply with former versions of the applicable standards
For IAAs which comply with the requirements of former versions of the applicable standards, the
manufacturer shall provide a demonstration of compliance with the former version of the
applicable standard and deliver a gap report specifying the gaps between the new and former
versions of these applicable standards through a self-declaration.
If there is no manufacturer, a Technical Expert shall provide an approved the gap analysis.
The gaps shall be resolved according to the requirements in clause 6.4.1.4.1.
Once the gaps are resolved, a second demonstration of compliance to the new version of the
applicable standards shall be delivered through a self-declaration.
6.4.1.5
Approval for Installation (IB)
Approval for Installation is granted only for new equipment.

If all GAPs (according to the gap report issued by the IB) have been successfully fulfilled, the IB
shall issue to the End-User an Approval for Installation.
The IB shall use a standardized template when issuing an approval for installation to the End
User.
6.4.2
Stage 2 Approval for operation

6.4.2.1
General
The End-user needs to assure that:
installation and commissioning,
(safety) validation,
operation, maintenance and repair,
are carried out according to the requirements of the Standards. Further on the instructions (e. g.
safety manual) given by the supplier and the safety documentation delivered by the components
suppliers/vendors have to be observed.
During validation testing, the End-user shall verify that the safety of general functions can be
executed as required by the Specification.

viii) SI 60079 parts 10.1, 14,17, and 19 (for Explosive environment)

The following are examples of assessments that should be included within the test plan:
For adjustment of burner parameters, assessment of the combustion products regarding

CO, CO2 and NOx and the air ratio of the burner. The measurement methods are to be
found in Chapter 4 in the relevant subchapter (Oil/Gas burner, IThE, Vessel Boiler etc.).
assessment of the fuel gas connection and its possible leakages. Measurement methods
and instruments are to be found in Chapter 4.3 in the relevant subchapter (4.3.2
Connection).
a general assessment of the appliance installation against the workplace environment

safety requirements.
It should be emphasized, that all on-site Testing and Approvals/ validations made by IB are visual
Testing and Approvals and are limited to witnessing of the performed tests (e.g, SAT Site
Acceptance Tests). The tests themselves shall be performed solely by the End- user or its
appointed Technical Expert.
The test equipment shall be provided by the responsible End user or its appointed Technical
Expert. The IB shall check that the test equipment is suitable and calibrated as per regulation
and/or manufacturers guideline. However, the IB is at any time free to decide to make use of its
own measurement equipment.
After a successful performance of the installation (piping), functional tests and cold
commissioning, the IB shall compile a Test Protocol and, if positive, shall issue, alongside that
Test Protocol, a written approval for Hot Commissioning.
Note Additional guidance for the commissioning can be found in IGEM/ UP/4.

Hot Commissioning and Approval for Operation - Serviceability

Approval
Once permission for Hot Commissioning has been issued by the IB, the End-user, or its appointed
Technical Expert, shall undertake Hot Commissioning supervised by the IB. If the necessary tests
of the hot commissioning are assessed by the IB as being finally positive and acceptable (reported
and guided by a punch list), the IB shall issue a final Test Report where the Test Protocol from the
previous step and the punch list is being part of. With this Test Report the IB issues to the Enduser the Permission for Operation - Serviceability Approval.
The validity of approval for Operation (Serviceability Approval) shall be according to the Gas
Law (safety and permitting) and requires periodic surveillance, maintenance and operations tests
to be undertaken with IB approved results.
6.4.2.5
Maintenance and Operation Tests (by the End User)
Once Approval for Operation (Serviceability Approval) has been issued, the operation stage
(Stage 3) shall start and maintenance tests shall be undertaken by the End User. The intervals of
the maintenance tests may depend on the possible hazards which occurred during risk assessment

Case example
A HAZOP study is a detailed hazard and operability problem identification process, carried out
by a team. The examination relies on specialists from various disciplines with appropriate skills and
experience who display intuition and good judgement. The performing of the HAZOP has to be
documented, examples can be found in the standard.
The below
Figure 8-3
Figure 8-3 shows a possible outcome of a HAZOP. The unsafe state overpressure of the vessel (oil
gas separation vessel). This unsafe state shall be preventing, e. g. that can be achieved by the level
transmitter, PLC (BPCS) and control valve (normal operation). In case of not reacting correctly or
failure of this level control loop the dangerous situation of bursting occurred.
There are a couple of solutions, three of them are:
99
Using a mechanical protection (pressure relief valve), these solution has the disadvantage
after tripping the mechanical device has to be replaced by a new one. Furthermore the
employees around the pressure relief valve can be harmed by the tread out medium.
Implementation of a safety loop (yellow highlighted devices in

Figure 8-3
Figure 8-3). The safety loop has to quantify (SIL 1/2/3). Instructions are given in IEC 61882
and IEC 61511-3. After quantifying the safety loop which consisting out of a set of devices, the
design and validation of the complete loop hast to perform according IEC 61508 and IEC
61511. Remark all devices should be certified (acc. IEC 61508 - suitable for the intended
safety loop).
Additionally procedures should be placed for the operator or end-user.

Functional safety is achieved when every specified safety instrumented function (SIF) is carried out
and the level of performance required of each safety function is met. This is normally achieved by a:
process that includes the following steps as a minimum:
1. Identifying what the required SIF are. This means the hazards and safety functions have to be
known. A process of function reviews, formal HAZOP and Accident Reviews are applied to
identify these.
2. Assessment of the risk-reduction required by the safety function. This will involve a Safety
Integrity Level (SIL) or Performance Level.
3. Ensuring the safety function performs to the design intent, including under conditions of
incorrect operator input and failure modes. This will involve having the design and lifecycle
managed by qualified and competent engineers carrying out processes to a recognized
functional safety standard. That standard is IEC 61508, or one of the industry specific
standards derived from IEC 61508 like IEC 61511, or some other standard like ISO 13849.
4. Further important documents are
1. Develop a Safety Requirement Specifications (SRS)
2. Execute Safety Assessment and Validation (V&V plan)
3. Specify procedures for safety Operation and Maintenance (Safety Manual)
Neither safety nor functional safety can be determined without considering the system as a whole and
the environment with which it interacts.
Critical aspects are:
Sensor / safety PLC / Actor configuration (HFT / SFF, systematic capability)
Complete execution of safety validation (Installation)
Execution of period proof tests at all or on calculated time intervals
Execute well prepared modifications (impact analysis -> risk assessment)

Are all safety-related characteristics known?

Risk of arising of a hazardous explosive atmosphere inside of equipment:
Access of air/oxygen possible or handled in the open
Installation/apparatus open during normal operation
Inerting not possible because of procedural reasons
Other reason:
H. e. a. inside of apparatus is being prevented or restricted
Limiting of concentration below the lower explosions limit (LEL) or above the upper
explosion limit (UEL)7, (2.3.2)*
Inerting (N2-pressure, -flow, O2-measurement, surveillance)8, (2.3.3)*
Apparatus/pipe filled completely, no gas volume
Operating under vacuum/intake pressure, (2.3.4)*
Other reason:
Possible arising of h. e. a. around apparatus / inside a room:
Installation/apparatus will be opened during normal operation
Flammable substances are handled in the open
Technically leak proof, low leakage possible, non-adequate ventilation
Area of pressure-relief device
Open pump sumps, spill trays, spill containment for collecting leaks
Dust deposits may occur
Other reason:
The concentration in the headspace above flammable liquids can be guaranteed to remain below the
lower explosion limit if the temperature at the surface of the liquid is at all times kept far enough below
the flash point (a temperature difference of 5C usually affords adequate safety for pure solvents and
15C for solvent mixtures). The upper explosion limit is usually exceeded for flammable liquids with a
low flash point (e.g. in car petrol tank).

A hazardous explosive atmosphere can also be avoided by diluting the fuel or the atmospheric
oxygen inside plant with chemically non-reactive (inert) materials. This is known as inerting.

Comments to B:
Explosion group: On the basis of their maximum permitted gap (the ability of an explosion flame to
be propagated through a defined gap is determined in a standard apparatus) and minimum igniting
current (current leading to ignition in a standard apparatus), gases and vapours are divided into three
groups (II A, II B, II C II C being the group with the smallest maximum permitted gap).
10
Temperature class: Equipment is classified by temperature class according to its maximum surface
temperature. Similarly, gases are classified according to their ignition temperatures.

11
Equipment category: Equipment and protective systems may be designed for a particular
explosive atmosphere. In this case, they must be marked accordingly. [Directive 94/9/EC]

No
Explosion resistant equipment for the maximum explosion overpressure associated

with explosion decoupling
Explosion relief with reduced explosion overpressure associated with explosion
decoupling (relief areas, Q-Pipes, decoupled systems)

INTRODUCTION
Each plant shall have procedures for operation, maintenance and emergency (OM&E). For this
purpose, one may use the procedures described in this annex, as applicable.
The purpose of this document is to provide a high level synopsis of the compliance requirements
documents, necessary to ensure the safe and successful Operations and Maintenance of the natural
gas piped supply systems to end consumers/gas appliances.
The Factories Operation, Maintenance & Emergency Guidance Document (FOMEGD hereinafter)
document has been written to cover both existing & future planned Operations & Maintenance
requirements. Regular review & updating of the compliance documentation outlined herein shall be
required and be maintained in order to ensure that the documentation remains current.
The document hierarchy process and each individual document are developed and managed using a
management control framework, often referred to as POPIMAR, which is represented as a continuous
performance improvement loop - See Figure 2.

Document Hierarchy
The FOMED constitutes the Level 1 document and provides the framework for managing the OM&E
of the natural gas piped supply system to the Factory end consumer, here in Israel.
Level 2 documents cover the End User's OM&E policy and strategy, Level 3 documents typically
provide detailed OM&E procedures and Level 4 documents are specific and cover such things as
Special Operations. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
Natural gas piped supply system End Users are required to ensure that their assets are operated and
maintained in a safe and efficient manner. To this end, the operator is expected to also have in place
the necessary corporate documentation covering all their activities.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to develop a hierarchy of process and procedural documents,
which determine the structure needed to ensure the requirements of the guidance document are met.
It is also necessary to include continuous improvement via an audit and review process, such that
optimum piped gas supply system OM&E efficiency is maintained (please see figure 2).
All documents shall be formally approved and correctly rolled out. They are mandatory to use.
Compliance audits for correct use of the approved documentation are essential. All necessary
appendices shall be included within each document.
All company QHSE requirements shall be adhered to.

gas appliances/end consumers trains (excluding the natural gas appliances/end consumers). The
scope of this document aligns with the clause 7.
Additionally, all maintenance facilities, plant and equipment, vehicles and tools considered necessary
to undertake the piped system OM&E activities are covered. The factory general manager and gas
safety officer are to provide an annual approval of compliance with this certificate to as per appendix
2 of the IGID.
REGULATORY AND OPERATIONAL BUSINESS DRIVERS
The onus is on the End User to ensure and verify that the piped gas supply system assets within the
factory are operated efficiently and effectively, to the highest possible safety standards. This is
achieved by designing, constructing, operating and maintaining these assets in compliance with the
requirements of International and National codes & standards, manufacturers and suppliers
minimum recommendations, and by application of current best practice.
The End User shall provide a comprehensive report detailing the maintenance activities performed on
the gas system assets. The frequency to providing this report shall be according to his discretion, and
not more than once a year.
3.1
COPORATE VALUES AND PRIORITIES
The End User shall develop a set of corporate goals to achieve excellence throughout all business
activities & operations. This means that, as far as possible, no harm will result to employees, the
public at large or the environment from the companys activities.

SYNOPSIS OF LEVEL 2 DOCUMENTS
5.1
OPERATIONS PERMIT TO WORK SYSTEM
The purpose of the Permit to Work System is to ensure that a safe working environment is achieved
by providing management control over the various activities which may have hazardous interactions.
The system provides a formal and controlled process that identifies and communicates risks and a
hazard associated with planned activity, and ensures that appropriate precautions and measures are
implemented so that the activity can proceed and be completed safely. It is important to note that a
Permit to Work is not a permission to carry out a hazardous activity, but is an essential part of a
procedure that provides instruction on how to carry out a hazardous activity safely in a managed and
controlled way.
The Work Permit serves the following purposes:
To ensure the proper authorization of work.
To make clear to the person carrying out the activity the risks involved and the precautions to be
taken.
To ensure that only competent individuals are assigned to manage, authorize and carry out the
work.
To provide a record showing that the method of work and precautions needed have been checked
by the appropriate authority.
A properly designed and administered Work Permit System shall eliminate/minimize human errors
and hazards. This system shall provide proper and managed control measures in order to protect
the activity performer and others involved, the environment and company property.
To provide an effective means for safe control of work, to ensure the safety of personnel and the
public, to protect plant and equipment from damage and prevent loss of gas supplies.
To clearly define the particular part of the network or facilities to be worked on.
To specify the work to be done.
To place a time limit on the work to provide a means to avoid conflict between the work and other
activities.
To ensure that the responsible person supervising the work is fully aware of the hazards and
safety measures that shall be maintained whilst undertaking the work.
To ensure that on completion of work, the plant or equipment is returned to a proper operational
state and records kept.
-8-
To ensure that the only one to give clearance to proceed (Operations Engineer or his designate)
or permission to carry out operations under safe conditions, is the responsible person.
In general all work carried out by Construction, Maintenance (including overhaul shutdowns),
Operations or Service Contractors on the entire natural gas system requires a Work Permit or Form
on behalf of the responsible person.
Routine work such as process operations, non-intrusive day-to-day inspections, materials handling
within the warehouse, housekeeping and domestic duties carried out by Operations Staff are
considered to be done safely outside the Work Permit System but are covered by Task Risk
Assessment.
5.2
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
The purpose of this document is to detail the End Users natural gas system and assets Emergency
Response Plan (ERP).
The three main objectives of the document are:
1. Detail precise actions to be carried out by the control room staff in the event of an actual
emergency.
2. Detail clearly the interface between the operations Emergency Response Plan and the corporate
Emergency Management Plan.
3. Provide the necessary level of pre-planning and resource allocation in preparation of an
emergency, to include training, exercises and facilities, etc.
5.3
HSE PLAN
The purpose of the Operations, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Plan is to establish the
requirements on how to implement the corporate QHSE management documentation and its related
expectation and procedures.
The main objective of this plan is to drive HSE improvement in the Operations organization by
directing focus on the key areas for improvement in a steady and consistent manner. The Operations
HSE Plan is a live document focused on areas for improvements identified across Operations in the
execution of the business.
5.4
HAZARD ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT
The End User shall develop a Factory Hazard Assessment Document for the natural gas
system and assets which identifies the credible hazards which may cause risk to the future
-9-
integrity of the system and considers the hazard effects in terms of individual risk and risk to
society in general.
The hazards identified include:
Earthquake & Ground Movements
Impact Damage (Mechanical Interference)
Fatigue
Corrosion
Operator Error
Likely failure modes & consequences of pipeline and AGI's failures are explained within the
document.
5.5
NG SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
To ensure a high level of safety and reliability in operation, a system of, maintenance and inspection
is essential for assets associated with the supply of natural gas. This plan is intended to stipulate a
common approach for all natural gas supply assets, thus allowing efficient and cost effective
maintenance.
An O&M Plan shall be developed to by the end User to include a strategy for the continual review of
maintenance frequencies.
Areas covered in the O&M plan shall include:
5 year Maintenance Philosophy
Routine & preventative maintenance
Corrective maintenance
Predictive maintenance
Major and minor overhauling
Emergency maintenance
Maintenance planning
Routine Operations:
Routine operations are generally defined as work for which a written Standard Maintenance
Procedure (SMP), Standing Instruction (SI) or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is in existence. In
- 10 -
addition, routine work includes "look, listen & feel" inspections, materials handling, housekeeping &
domestic duties carried out by operations staff. Routine Operations are of a non-intrusive nature &
