Standardization in Europe : CEN
(and CENELEC)
Standards in Europe are not mandatory, and EU regulations specify
essential requirements (mainly linked with safety issues) defined in the
European Directives. “Harmonized standards” have a presumption of
conformity to these requirements.
Other standards (i.e. “non-harmonized” ones) are checked not to be in
conflict with these requirements.
Standards can be developed within CEN committees, or can be adopted
from other bodies such as ISO. The “Vienna Agreement” regulates this
process between ISO and CEN.
Each CEN standard is adopted in the national collection of each
European country (and replaces any pre-existing national standard).

ISO Standardization of Oil and Gas equipment : TC 67
Technical Committee ISO/TC 67 covers the entire range of Oil and Gas
materials and equipment for all segments of our industry :
Exploration and production, Refining, Transport by pipelines, Natural Gas
(including LNG), Petrochemicals.
TC 67 is a very active committee with 6 specialized Working Groups and
6 Sub-committees.
140 standards have already been published, and 65 projects are in the
present work program.
Stakeholders worldwide are well represented.

CEN/TC 12 SCOPE
Materials, equipment and offshore structures for
petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries
TITLE:
SCOPE: Standardisation of the materials, equipment and offshore structures used in
the drilling, production, transport by pipelines and processing of liquid and gaseous
hydrocarbons within the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, excluding
gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on-shore transmission network up to
the inlet connection of gas appliances (covered by CEN/TC234) and those aspects of
offshore structures covered by IMO requirements (ISO/TC8).
Note : CEN/TC 12 scope is nearly identical to ISO/TC 67 scope.
The standardization within CEN/TC 12 is to be achieved
wherever possible by adoption of ISO standards.

CEN/TC 12
CEN/TC12 is working according to the goal of the Industry:
GLOBAL STANDARDS USED LOCALLY WORLDWIDE
CEN TC12 adopts ISO/TC 67 Standards in EUROPE.
Vienna Agreement between ISO and CEN fully applies.
Normally 5 (or 3 by relaxation) European countries shall participate and nominate experts.
Parallel voting of the common standards (or UAP for those standards which excludes gas concerns
in Europe)
Reminder : European Standards become National Standards in all 30 countries when accepted in CEN.

CEN/TC 12 WORK PROGRAM
• 61 Work Items (5 published since January 2009)
• Already published standards:
103 EN ISO (Identical) published standards
+
6 EN (ISO modified) standards
(exclusion of gas infrastructure industries)

8 - KAZAN, September 2009
PRESENT ISSUES
Liaison and coordination regarding various actions such as :
 Transmission pipelines, with ECISS/TC 29 and CEN/TC 234
 LNG equipment, with CEN/TC 282 in particular for prEN ISO 28460 (Ship
to shore interface and port operations)
 Collaboration with EASC countries, through Ad-hoc group AH8
 Potential adoption of ISO standards in other regions of the world

CEN/TC 12 CHAIR
During its Plenary meeting in February 2009, CEN/TC 12 decided to
appoint Gilles Trican as new Chairman of CEN/TC 12 for a period
of six years starting on 2009-02-05 ( Resolution 18).
Note: Former Chairman Alain Loppinet was warmly thanked for his
dedication and hard work during his long tenure.
Alain will continue to be involved mainly as convenor or expert in
the various ad-hoc groups of CEN TC12. In particular in AH8 (adhoc group 8).
