National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 1594:2000.
EN 1594 recognises the need for more detailed national standards and codes of
practice in the CEN member countries. For the UK additional guidance of this
nature can be found in BS 8010-1 and BS 8010-2-2.8. In due course BS 8010-2-2.8 will
be revised and reissued.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
GSE/33, Gas Supply, to Subcommittee GSE/33/3, Gas Supply: Transmission, which
