1.0 Background
BACKGROUND
The government introduced the Gas Supply Act 1993 (Act 501) and Gas
Supply Regulations 1997 to regulate piped gas supply and utilisation
activities. The main objective is to protect the interests of the consumers
and the public who are affected by the supply activities whilst at the same
time ensuring continued viability of the gas supply businesses. Act 501
prescribes the administrative and technical standards in the aspects of
safety, reliability, economy, efficiency and quality.
The act is not applicable throughout the gas supply chain. Its scope covers
only the supply of natural gas through pipeline downstream of the last
flange of the city gate station or the supply of LPG from the filling point
of storage tanks or cylinders to gas appliances. Natural gas transmission
and lateral pipeline systems (up to and including the city gate stations)
are outside the scope of Act 501. Presently, Act 501 is only applicable in
the Peninsula and Sabah.

1.1 PENGENALAN
The government introduced the Gas Supply Act 1993 (Act 501) and Gas Supply
Regulations 1997 to regulate piped gas supply and utilisation activities. The
main objective is to protect the interests of the consumers and the public
who are affected by the supply activities whilst at the same time ensuring
continued viability of the gas supply businesses. Act 501 prescribes the
administrative and technical standards in the aspects of safety, reliability,
economy, efficiency and quality.
In Act 501 gas is defined as methane, ethane, propane, butane or hydrocarbons

gases in the form of gas
or liquid. Natural gas is mainly methane with a small percentage of other
hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon gases whereas Liquefied Petroleum Gas
(LPG) comprises of mainly propane and butane. Other types of gases, such as
oxygen, nitrogen and acetylene used in the industrial sector are not covered
by Act 501.
The act is not applicable throughout the gas supply chain. Its scope covers
only the supply of natural gas through pipeline downstream of the last flange
of the city gate station or the supply of LPG from the filling point of storage
tanks or cylinders to gas appliances. Natural gas transmission and lateral
pipeline systems (up to and including the city gate stations) are outside the
scope of Act 501. Presently, Act 501 is only applicable in the Peninsula and
Sabah.
