9 Product Standards from Gas Sector revised, including KGS FP111
25. April 2024The Korean Gas Technical Standards Committee has recently approved changes to nine detailed product standards, including ‘KGS FP111’, which pertains to the facility, technology, inspection, supervision, and precision safety inspection of high-pressure gas manufacturing. High-pressure vessels and other products from the gas sector generally require a KGS Registration in order to be approved for import and distribution in Korea.
Key updates include standardizing the separation distance between storage tanks and integrating water spraying devices according to existing facility standards.
The amendments also address the placement of safety valves in specific equipment and establish distances between buried pipes and water facilities in setups using ammonia as hydrogen carrier gas.
These updates support the government’s ‘Hydrogen Safety Management Roadmap 2.0.’
The Korea Gas Safety Corporation anticipates that these revised standards will gain final approval from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy soon and be published officially in the Korea Electronic Gazette. The updated KGS Code will be accessible online following its publication.
