How to get synergetic results ?
The Harmonized requirements of equipment for
explosive environments are the components of
harmonized requirements of pipeline safety
regulation Other components are Pipes Joining Cor
rosion control Allowable operational pressure,
etc

Conclusions

• We should unite our actions on the base of good
  regulatory practice
• to prevent accidents, that involved oil an gas
  facilities due to unsafe operation of equipment
