A PPEN D I X 5 Description of Gas System Safety Recognition ISO 55001 ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 55001 enables the development of an effective asset management system so that an organization can achieve its objectives consistently and sustainably over time. ISO consists of members from the national standards bodies of 162 countries and has published more than 19,500 international standards. PAS 55 PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 55 is a rigorous specification for optimized management of physical assets with widespread recognition among utilities, transport, mining, process and manufacturing industries worldwide. PAS 55 was developed by the Institute for Asset Management and published by the British Standards Institution. RC 14001 RC (Responsible Care) 14001 is the chemical industry standard issued through the American Chemistry Council (ACC) for process and product safety; community communications; security and safety, health, environmental (SHE) practices. A third party audit reviewed end-to-end safety processes at the company, ultimately approving PG&E as the first utility to secure the certification. API 1173 API RP (American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice) 1173 outlines specific best practices for safe and effective pipeline operations underpinned by a healthy safety culture. PG&E joined other gas pipeline organizations, along with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to help co-author the standard.
