FEN has developed and agreed a list of required site acceptance tests to allow biomethane sites to demonstrate their compliance to FWACV and GS(M)R. Please note this is not a complete list of site acceptance tests (SAT) and a full list of tests should be developed based on manufacturer's recommendations for all equipment. The only requirements detailed below are with regards to meeting FWACV and GS(M)R regulatory compliance.

The gas distribution networks (GDNs), in collaboration with Future Energy Networks (FEN) and biomethane service providers, have successfully developed a unified set of site acceptance testing (SAT) requirements and methodologies. This collective effort has established a consistent framework for application across the biomethane sector, delivering improved efficiency and alignment throughout the industry.

This has developed and agreed a list of required site acceptance tests to allow biomethane sites to demonstrate their compliance to FWACV and GS(M)R regulation.

The Gas Distribution Networks (GDN’s) have been collaboratively working with the ENA and the biomethane service providers to develop a set of Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) requirements/methodologies to provide consistency of application and drive efficiencies across the biomethane sector.

Gas distribution networks are legally bound by the Gas Safety (Management) Regulations 1996 (GS(M)R) to ensure the content and characteristics of the gas distributed to end consumers is safe and fit for use within consumer appliances.
