In the leak detection and repair programme, the operators provide a schedule for the survey for each component and grid segment according to a risk-based approach.Thus, the required frequency of the survey can vary for each component and grid segment depending on the potential hazard and emission rate of a leak.The priority of the components and grid segments are classified by the competent authorities on a national level considering the following criteria: - number of registered leaks in the past; - corrosion protection (material of the component); - operating pressure; - location of the component; The frequency of the survey can vary for different components and grid segments according to their priority between three months and several years.
