May 17, Moscow. The board of the Eurasian Economic Commission has approved a program to develop interstate standards for the technical regulation on the safety of combustible natural gas prepared for transportation and use, BelTA learned from the EEC press service.

“The program provides for the preparation of 18 interstate standards until 2024,” the press service noted. “Kazakhstan (2 GOSTs) and RUSSIA (16 GOSTs) were identified as responsible developers. The development of standards included in the program is due to the need to harmonize and update the provisions of standardization documents states of the Union in terms of the use of the conceptual apparatus and relevant measurement techniques".

"Part of the standards containing the rules and methods of research, including the rules for sampling, are national standardization documents. They were approved before the adoption of the technical regulation on the safety of natural combustible gas prepared for transportation and use. Therefore, they need to be revised to bring them into line with technical regulations and acceptance as GOST," the EEC added.
