Since the 1960s, IGEM has published technical Standards that are now recognized as trusted industry
Standards, used to assist in compliance with national legislation and official approved codes of practice
and guidance. IGEM Standards relate to aspects of the Pipelines Safety Regulations; Pressure Systems
Safety Regulations; Gas Safety (Management) Regulations; Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations; Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations; Reporting of Injuries,
Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations; Building Regulations; Health and Safety at Work
etc. Act; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations; Pressure Equipment Regulations,
Electricity at Work Regulations and so on.
The Standards are drafted by expert Panels representing a cross-section of the relevant parts of the
gas industry. Regulatory bodies such as HSE, Ofgem and Gas Safe RegisterTM contribute to the
drafting process. The drafts are issued to the industry and other stakeholders for review and comment
prior to publication and, thus, take into account the sometimes broad range of views on the content.
The professional status of IGEM ensures its Standards reflect the best possible levels of safety,
practice and quality within reasonable cost.
In general, IGEM Standards do not overlap the scope of British Standards (BS) but they do often
mirror the scope of British European Standards (BS EN) adding much more detail in many cases.
There is no intent to contradict other such standards, and it is IGEM’s policy to ensure this does not
occur.
IGEM’s Standards are all available in hard copy. In addition, there are licences available for the
purchase of electronic copy for use on the internal IT networks of individual companies. Standards
licences can be purchased either as a complete suite or individually. Further information is available
from IGEM (technical@igem.org.uk).
The following SCOPE allows an “at a glance” view of the subject of the Standards and aspects
covered. In general, the advice is set at an intermediate to high level although some books, such as
IGE/GM/6, give detail on “standardised” installations and, hence, contain more prescription. The full
list of available publications follows the SCOPE.
