(d) Mandatory Appendices I through IX
(e) Nonmandatory Appendices A through F

Each part defines requirements for piping or pipelines,as applicable, within its scope. The requirements aredifferent for different aspects of components, design,fabrication, installation, assembly, erection, inspection,examination, and testing. It is required that each partbe used in conjunction with the General Requirementssection but independent of the other parts. The jointconnecting piping governed by two different parts shall be subject exclusively to the requirements of one of thetwo parts. It is not intended that this edition of this Codebe applied retroactively to existing hydrogen systems.
