What is required to pass inspection for Natual gas in Oregon?

The requirements to pass a natural gas inspection in Oregon are:

You have to pass a pressure test with 30PSI per C102.3.1 through C102.3.3
For work that is required for more than 10ft or that is in a trench, we are required to have a cover test and pressure test per C102.2 and C102.3

These are full permits by the city or county that an inspector comes out and inspects the work and the pressure of the new natural gas pipe installed. We then come back out to hook up the natural gas.
