Putkistomääräykset

Putkistomääräykset refer to a set of regulations and guidelines governing the installation, maintenance, and operation of pipelines in Finland. These standards are established by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) in accordance with the European Union's directives and regulations.

The putkistomääräykset cover a wide range of topics, including pipeline design, materials, welding, testing, and commissioning. The regulations also specify the requirements for pipeline operation, maintenance, and repair. The aim of these standards is to ensure the safe and reliable transportation of fuels and other hazardous substances through pipelines.

The putkistomääräykset are based on international standards and best practices in the pipeline industry. They take into account the specific conditions and requirements of Finland, including the country's climate, terrain, and regulatory framework. The regulations are designed to protect the environment, public health, and safety, as well as ensure the effective operation of the pipeline system.

Industrial organizations, such as pipeline operators, manufacturers, and contractors, are required to comply with the putkistomääräykset when designing, installing, operating, and maintaining pipelines in Finland. Compliance with these regulations ensures that pipeline systems are designed and operated to meet the highest safety and environmental standards.
