Apply for recognition as an expert for high-pressure gas pipelines
Description
Experts inspect high-pressure gas pipelines and their associated facilities that serve the public supply before construction to ensure that the planned pipeline/facility meets the quality requirements of the High-Pressure Gas Pipeline Ordinance. Furthermore
