Paragraph 4

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

That part of a system which is only a pressure system because it is–

(a)

subject to a leak test (except that this sub-paragraph shall not apply to a pipeline);

(b)

pressurised unintentionally, such pressurisation being not reasonably foreseeable; or

(c)

a pipeline pressurised by a relevant fluid solely as part of a test or line clearance operation, but this exception shall not apply if the pipeline–

(i)

is used for the conveyance of a relevant fluid, or

(ii)

is pressurised beyond its safe operating limits.
