on ASME PCC-2 pneumatic stored energy and
safe distance calculations
• Updated definitions and responsibilities
• Added requirements for preliminary leak
checking
• Modified requirements for determination of
system pressure when leak detection is allowed
• Added ES&H training requirements for
personnel participating in pressure testing
• Created process by which a Division Safety
Officer may designate an alternate reviewer prior
to a pressure test
• Created process by which a Division Safety
Officer may designate an alternate observer for a
pressure test
