Addressing both ideal and non-ideal venting, and enclosures that have, respectively, adequate; less than adequate and poor ventilation.
IGE/SR/25 can be applied to any Natural Gas installation but it is primarily for installations upstream of the emergency control valve. Recommendations are often applied to other installations for which standards such as IGE/GM/7 (meter installations) cannot be applied owing to the non-standard nature of the installation.
