Describes the design, type testing, marking and manufacturing tests and examinations requirements for self-closing cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable gas cylinders which convey compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases.

This document specifies the design, type testing, marking and manufacturing tests and examinations requirements for self-closing cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable gas cylinders which convey compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases.

NOTE1 The main applications for such self-closing cylinder valves are in the calibration gas and beverage industries.

This document covers the function of a self-closing cylinder valve as a closure.

NOTE2 Requirements for standard cylinder valves are given in ISO10297 . Requirements for quick-release cylinder valves are given in ISO17871 .

This document is not applicable to self-closing cylinder valves for cryogenic equipment, for portable fire extinguishers, or for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

NOTE3 Requirements for valves for cryogenic vessels are specified in ISO21011 and at a regional level, for example, in EN1626 . Requirements for valves for portable fire extinguishers at a regional level are specified, for example, in EN3series . Requirements for self-closing LPG cylinder valves are specified in ISO14245 .

NOTE4 Additional requirements for pressure-relief devices might be specified in international/regional regulations/standards.
