BS EN ISO 13686:2013

This standard BS EN ISO 13686:2013 Natural gas. Quality designation is classified in these ICS categories:

• 75.060 Natural gas

This International Standard specifies the parameters required to describe finally processed and, where required, blended natural gas. Such gas is referred to subsequently in this text simply as “natural gas”.

The main text of this International Standard contains a list of these parameters, their units and references to measurement standards. Informative annexes give examples of typical values for these parameters, with the main emphasis on health and safety.

In defining the parameters governing composition, physical properties and trace constituents, consideration has also been given to existing natural gases to ensure their continuing viability.

The question of interchangeability is dealt with in Annex A (see Clause A.2).
