Quality Assurance of Network Documentation

The DVGW Code of Practice GW 120 contains the basic requirement for quality assurance measures in network documentation, whereas the GW 130 provides a systematic and more detailed approach. Our experts will show you what is important in order to implement the association’s recommendations and create immediate practical benefit.


Consulting Packet 1: Check

GW 130 and Best Practices

Check and Assessment According to GW 120 and GW 130 – Background Information

The demands placed on the documentation of supply grids in GIS have risen steadily in recent years. Only through a quality-assured database and the intersection of commercial and technical data can many work and decision processes be reliably supported and risks minimised.This way, quality assurance contributes directly to increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

While the existing DVGW Code of Practice GW 120 stipulates that network data must be entered or managed in a complete, legible, correct and up-to-date form, the new GW 130 provides information on quality requirements. It is intended to be a guideline for the practical implementation of quality assurance in grid documentation, which is to be understood as a component of a comprehensive quality management system such as DIN EN ISO 9000. This includes the derivation of measures for the continuous improvement of data and processes.
