Preliminary provisions

§ 1

Scope

This decree regulates all supplies of heating gases, i.e. gas lamps, ground gases (diesel and carbon), coke oven gas, liquefied heating gas (propane-butane) and oil and gazoline supplies; However, it shall not apply to supplies for export and from imports.

§ 2

Range of deliveries

(1) An annual planned supply of heat gas in the wholesale range shall be considered to be the annual supply of the technically pure lamp and coke oven gas, which on average exceed 10 000 m3 per month and 5000 m3 per month for the same customer; other supplies shall be considered as retail supplies.

(2) The sampling point for the supply of heating gases is a locally separated customer's workplace where the consumption of heating gases, whether by one or more meters, is measured. The technical design of the connection to the pipeline network is crucial in doubt.

(3) Deliveries of liquefied heating gas (propane-butane) to the wholesale range are considered to be annual deliveries to one customer in excess of 3000 kg; other deliveries are considered to be retail supplies.

(3) When checking the measuring instruments, if they are found to indicate a value higher than the permissible deviation, the supplier shall pay the customer the amount corresponding to the error in the measuring instrument data, from the date on which the defect occurred, but not more than the date of the previous deduction. The costs of checking and exchanging measuring instruments shall be borne by the supplier.

(4) When checking that measuring instruments show a value lower than the tolerance, the buyer shall pay the supplier the amount corresponding to the error in the measuring instrument data from the date on which the defect occurred, but not more than the date of the preceding deduction. The costs of checking and exchanging measuring instruments shall be borne by the supplier.

(5) If the gas consumption cannot be accurately determined over the period of failure of the measuring instruments, it shall be calculated according to consumption in approximately the same period of last year. Consumption shall be calculated from the date on which the defect occurred, but no longer than the date of the preceding deduction. If there is a new consumption or a change in the consumption ratios, the supplier may invoice the said consumption according to the average consumption measured in the next two subtracting periods.

§ 29

Correction of measurement equipment errors in the supply of heating gases to the pipeline network
