The ÖVGW-guideline F G12 defines requirements for personnel working on LPG installations and describes the documentation of these activities. In addition, it contains requirements for the labelling of liquefied gas installations. All used expression have to be interpreted as overpressure if not defined otherwise. The technical rules for LPG installations are not applicable for vehicles and boats. For pipelines with MOP > 0,5 bar the dual pressure equipment ordinance (DDGV) respectively the pressure equipment inspection ordinance (DGÜW-V) have to be applied in addition to this guideline. Otherwise provided legal regulations and official notifications are not affected by the present guidelines.
