Full title and description
ISO 23219:2022 — Natural gas — Format for data from gas chromatograph analysers for natural gas — XML file format. This International Standard defines a structured XML text file format for reporting natural gas analysis results and related data produced by gas chromatograph analysers, intended to support transfer, processing and archival of composition and associated information.
Abstract
The document specifies an XML file format for reporting natural gas analysis results and other data relevant to natural gas. It is intended for output from/compatibility with the ISO 6974 series (composition and uncertainty), for input to ISO 6976 (calculation of properties) and ISO 10723 (performance evaluation). Typical uses include generation of analysis certificates and data exchange between analysers, laboratory information systems and calculation tools.
General information

- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 75.060 (Natural gas); 35.240.50 (IT applications in industry).
- Edition / version: Edition 1 (2022).
- Number of pages: 27 pages.
Scope
Specifies a text-based XML file format for reporting gas chromatograph analyser results and associated metadata for natural gas. The format covers the representation of composition results, uncertainty information, file naming (XML extension), and elements needed to feed calculation standards (for example ISO 6976) or performance evaluation procedures (ISO 10723). The aim is interoperable, machine-readable data exchange between analysers, laboratories, operators and calculation/energy accounting tools.
Key topics and requirements
- XML schema definition for natural gas analysis output (structured elements for components, mole fractions, uncertainties and metadata).
- Fields and conventions to support composition reporting compatible with ISO 6974 outputs and uncertainty reporting from ISO 6974-2.
- Provision for metadata required by downstream calculations (e.g., inputs for ISO 6976 property calculations) and performance evaluation (ISO 10723).
- File-naming and file-format constraints (use of.xml extension, case-insensitive handling).
- Guidance to ensure consistent data exchange between analysers, laboratory information systems and calculation or billing systems.
Typical use and users
Primary users are gas analysis laboratories, gas chromatograph and analyser manufacturers, pipeline and distribution operators, custody transfer and allocation systems, energy/billing software vendors, and organizations performing performance evaluation or property calculations on natural gas samples. The format is used to export analyser results, import into calculation tools (e.g., heating value, density), and archive certificates in a machine-readable form.
Related standards
Closely related to the ISO 6974 series (analysis by gas chromatography — composition and uncertainty), ISO 6976 (calculation of calorific values and other gas properties), and ISO 10723 (performance evaluation). National/adopted versions and related documents (for example various national adoptions like BS ISO 23219 and NEN-ISO 23219) implement or reference this XML format for data exchange.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 23219:2022 is an international standard that defines an XML file format for reporting results and related data produced by gas chromatograph analysers used on natural gas samples.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the structure and elements of an XML file for composition results, associated uncertainty and metadata needed for downstream calculations and performance evaluations (not the analytical laboratory procedures themselves). The format is intended for interoperability with standards such as ISO 6974, ISO 6976 and ISO 10723.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Laboratories producing gas composition certificates, analyser manufacturers (to export results), pipeline and distribution operators (for data ingestion), software vendors (calculation, billing, asset management) and organizations conducting performance evaluations.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: It was published in July 2022 (Edition 1) and is shown on the ISO catalogue as published; the ISO lifecycle notes the standard is subject to review and marked as "to be revised" (review cycle typical every five years). Users should confirm national adoption status for the most current local edition.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is intended to be used alongside the ISO 6974 series (analysis by gas chromatography — composition and uncertainty), ISO 6976 (property calculations) and ISO 10723 (performance evaluation); several national bodies have published identical or adopted versions (e.g., BS ISO, NEN-ISO listings).
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Natural gas, gas chromatograph, XML file format, composition, uncertainty, data exchange, ISO 6974, ISO 6976.
