Internal
Optimisation of your asset management by:
- Introducing the risk management cycle,
- Creating a better alignment between crucial business processes,
- Making the decision-making process transparent,
- Focusing on issues that really matter.
In addition, it is an excellent base for a continuous improvement process.
External
- The added value of certification vis-à-vis external parties is primarily the demonstrability of an optimally organised and therefore continuously improved asset management process and control of your physical business assets.
- Supervisory parties accept PAS 55 and NTA 8120 as a suitable base for a risk management system for your assets and consequently adapt supervision activities accordingly in the case of certified companies.
New regulations for pipeline operators
- The Dutch decree on external pipeline safety (Besluit externe veiligheid buisleidingen or Bevb) imposes obligations on operators of pipelines for transporting hazardous substances.
- The technical and organisational duty of care is explicitly specified in the Bevb decree (article 4).
- The NTA 8000 technical agreement clarifies which management practices are seen as normal and necessary in accordance with standards of reasonableness (explanatory note in relation to Bevb, article 4).
- The supervisory party accepts the methodology of NTA 8000 and applies it as an assessment framework.
The consequences for pipeline operators are as follows
- Pipeline operators must be able to demonstrate that they comply with their duty of care.
- They can do so using the system described in the NTA 8000 technical agreement.
- The requirements with which a risk management system (RMS) must demonstrably comply are central elements within this technical agreement.

Data Management and Analysis
You probably collect large quantities of data about your network, including, for example, inspection reports for stations, pipeline leakage detection details, breakdown records or other information.
Risk Based Asset Management
Kiwa Technology can offer support to operators of pipelines such as gas distribution companies, water boards and heat energy companies when implementing RBAM.
Feasibility Studies on Alternative Fuels
Kiwa Technology carries out feasibility studies to support gas traders, fleet owners and governments; to facilitate investment, safety, and provide an overview on the possibilities of alternative fuels CNG, LNG, H2 and CH2. To serve this objective, the study covers various aspects of the business concept development.
Benchmarking
Benchmarking is one of the possibilities for improving the quality of your organisation and/or processes. If you wish to achieve the objectives that you have set, for example, for your asset management, you will have to translate them into specific, measurable, objective and consistent indicators.
Investigation accidents involving gas
Kiwa Technology investigates the cause of all types of accidents involving gas. These investigations are required in order to continue to use gas safely and also in order to assign responsibility for damages to the right parties.
