Requirements and procedures provide an overview of legal requirements, technical standards and common practice for the gas industry.
About the guidance
We prepare requirements and procedures documents in liaison with the industry. We do so either as part of one of our workstreams, a prelude to potentially more in-depth work, or as a useful information resource.
The topics covered in this guidance relate to the policy objectives and outcomes in the Gas Act 1992 and the Government Policy Statement on Gas Governance 2008 (GPS).
Providing this background information is increasingly relevant as more participants — particularly in the upstream exploration and/or production and retail sectors — enter the market.
