DIN EN ISO 16904:2016-11

EN ISO 16904:2016 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67 "Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 282 "Installation and equipment for LNG", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. DIN Standards Committee Gas Technology (NAGas) was involved in preparation of the standard as mirror committee for DIN, the German Institute for Standardization e. V. This International Standard specifies the design, minimum safety requirements and inspection and testing procedures for liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine transfer arms intended for use on conventional onshore LNG terminals, handling LNG carriers engaged in international trade. It also covers the minimum requirements for safe LNG transfer between ship and shore. Although the requirements for power/control systems are covered, this International Standard does not include all the details for the design and fabrication of standard parts and fittings associated with transfer arms. This International Standard is supplementary to local or national standards and regulations and is additional to the requirements of ISO 28460. This International Standard needs not be applied to existing facilities. It contains safety-related specifications. Once adopted, this standard shall be incorporated into DVGW Code of Practice "Gas".
