PREFACE
The NGA require all gas systems to be safe and operated within tolerable levels of
individual and societal risk and maintain the integrity of gas systems throughout the
design and operational life of these systems.
All gas system Owners/Operators must demonstrate their design, operational and
maintenance philosophy, procedures and safe systems of work which must include
identification of all hazards that may impact on the system integrity or tolerable
individual and societal risk, risk assessment, mitigation measures and definition of
residual risk associated with the management of each risk mitigation strategy.
EXEMPTION OF THE STATE FROM LIABILITY
The Owner/Operator bears the sole responsibility for the safe design, construction,
operation and maintenance of the system and shall implement the required
procedures, means and methods assuring that the system integrity is maintained
throughout its design life.
Approvals issued by the State of Israel to the Owner do not impose any liability on
the State of Israel and/or its representatives and will not be used as cause for
prosecution or legal action against the State of Israel and/or its representatives by
the Owner or a third party.
In the event that the State of Israel and/or its representatives are to compensate any
party due to any act or negligence by the Owner, the Owner shall indemnify the
State, and/or on its representatives, accordingly. The Owner will bear all legal and
other expenses of the State, if any, with respect to such indemnities.
For the avoidance of any doubt, it is hereby clarified that approvals issued by the
State of Israel do not affect the powers given to the Minister, the Natural Gas
Authority and the Safety Officer granted by law.

SECTION 1.0 GENERAL
1.1 This document shall be known as the Industrial Gas Installation Directive,
hereinafter entitled the IGID. The scope of this document takes into
consideration the upstream boundary limits from the NG provider up to the
first isolating valve in the appliance skid (Boiler, Gas Turbine, Kiln or other
facility). Therefore, it is considered that this valve is the downstream boundary
limit and therefore shall not be included in the design package. Please see
the diagram attached to the end of this section.
Until further notice, all design, operational, safety and integrity matters related
to the downstream gas appliances and their installation environment e.g.
boiler house etc. shall be assessed and approved by the Standards Institution
of Israel (SII).
1.2 The IGID shall be supplementary to the relevant statutory plans (TABAs,
VATAL's, Building Permits etc.), the Natural Gas Law, Safety Decree and
other relevant regulations, and shall be read in conjunction with them.
1.3 The relevant statutory plans shall be in place and sanctioned independent of
the IGID. The IGID provides more detailed specification of some of the
requested information necessary to obtain NGA approval for the design,
fabrication, installation and operation of Industrial Gas Installation system.
1.4 The standards relevant for the IGID are the EN 15001 (series) or the ASME
B31.3 (Latest Editions). Hazardous Area Classification shall be carried out as
per the requirements of the IGEM/SR/25 or the EN 60079-10. Buried sections
of PE pipe shall be designed as per the requirements set by the SI 5664 Part
3.
1.5 In case of conflict, the relevant statutory plans and the Natural Gas Law
and/or Safety Decree shall govern over the IGID.
7
State of Israel
1.6 The general objective of the IGID is to present instructions and guidelines
required by the Natural Gas Authority (NGA) to the supplier, Owner or
Operator (herein, owner) of an Industrial Gas Installation system, with the
intention of assisting the applicant obtaining required, necessary permits.
1.7 The IGID is applicable to the planning, designing, fabrication, constructing,

operating and maintaining of an Industrial Gas Installation system and does
not address local and regional permitting.
1.8 Owner shall be in full compliance with the IGID. When in full compliance with
the requirements of the IGID and all other specific requirements made by the
NGA, the NGA will submit written confirmation of compliance to the required
Regional Planning Committee.
1.9 Once written confirmation has been submitted by the NGA to the Regional
Planning Authorities, the owner may continue to apply for the required
building permits () .
1.10 Owners compliance with the IGID shall be verified with the NGA through the
ongoing process, as described below. Only upon completion of this process
will written approval be submitted, as described in section 1.8.
1.11 Owner shall bear all costs associated with Owners compliance with the IGID
and application for permits. The NGA shall not bear any commercial or other
responsibility related to Owners successful or unsuccessful compliance with
the IGID and application for permits.
1.12 The NGA shall be the custodian of the IGID. The Owner shall be obliged to
obtain the latest version of the IGID inclusive of all its supplements,
addendum, etc., from the NGA
1.13 The purpose of the IGID is to create conditions for the safe and efficient
development and use of an Industrial Gas Installation system in accordance
with Israeli governmental law and policy.
8
State of Israel
1.14 Before Owner can install and subsequently operate an Industrial Gas
Installation system, the Owner shall apply for a permit and such permit shall
be granted prior to commencement of any installation related activity. The
IGID provides guidelines and instructions for Owner to follow in his application
procedure for an installation and operating permit.
1.15 Exemptions to the IGID may be granted by the NGA only upon written request
by Owner and subject to agreed restrictions and conditions. Such agreed
exemption shall carry NGA signature. Exemptions to the IGID shall be
considered on a case-by-case basis and a given exemption can be withdrawn
if:
1.15.1 The data furnished by Owner to obtain it appear to be incorrect or

incomplete to the extent that the exemption would not have been
granted if the actual data had been known at the time the decision
was made.
1.15.2 The circumstances on the basis of which it was granted have

changed to the extent that the exemption would not have been
granted if the altered circumstances had existed at the time the
decision was made.
1.15.3 It cannot be maintained in case a safety hazard develops out of it.
1.15.4 It appears that one or more conditions, under which it was granted,
are not complied with.

during the life of the project.
3.1.3 This planning stage shall be accompanied by a revision track record that
provides information, background of schedule changes and mitigation
measures in case schedule changes might create conflicts.
