(Art. 1)

Criteria for pipeline installations

¹Pipeline installations for the transport of gaseous thermal and motor fuels fall within the scope of this Ordinance if they meet the following criteria:

1. the approved operating pressure is greater than 5 bar and less than or equal to 25 bar and the product of the approved operating pressure in pascals (Pa) and the external diameter in metres is greater than 500,000 Pa m (500 bar cm) («pressure» is to be taken to mean «positive pressure»); or
2. the approved operating pressure is greater than 25 bar and the product of the approved operating pressure in pascals (Pa) and the external diameter in metres is greater than 1,000,000 Pa m (1,000 bar cm) («pressure» is to be taken to mean «positive pressure»).

²Pipeline installations for the transport of liquid thermal and motor fuels fall within the scope of this Ordinance if, with an approved operating pressure of greater than 5 bar, the product of the approved operating pressure in pascals (Pa) and the external diameter in metres is greater than 200,000 Pa m (200 bar cm) («pressure» is to be taken to mean «positive pressure»).
