Technical self-regulation in Germany
Gas and water specialist committees
Gas and water specialist committees © DVGW

The DVGW standards are a clear manifestation of technical self-regulation in Germany. Specialists from the gas and water industry shape the standards themselves and German law specifi cally refers to these documents.

This principle indicates on the one hand “best practice” solutions, on the other hand it supports the compliance with legal requirements.

The pooling of specialist competence at the national level lays the foundation for international cooperation within Europe and beyond. Within the standardization bodies DIN, CEN and ISO, DVGW plays a key role in shaping European and international standards.

Facts and Figures:

  • 2,600 expert volunteers
  • 600 codes of practice currently valid
  • 800 gas network operators and water suppliers with audited TSM systems
