This document, in conjunction with ISO 10297:2014 and ISO 14246:2014, specifies design, type testing, marking and manufacturing tests, and examinations requirements for quick-release cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable gas cylinders, pressure drums and tubes which convey non-toxic, non-oxidizing, non-flammable and non-corrosive compressed or liquefied gases or extinguishing agents charged with compressed gases to be used for fire-extinguishing, explosion protection, and rescue applications.
The main application of such quick-release cylinder valves is in the fire-fighting industry. However, there are other applications such as to avalanche airbags, life raft inflation, and similar applications.
Where there is no risk of ambiguity, gas cylinders, pressure drums and tubes are addressed with the collective term “cylinders” within this document.
This document covers the function of a quick-release cylinder valve as a closure.
This document does not apply to quick-release cylinder valves for cryogenic equipment, for portable fire extinguishers, or for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Quick-release cylinder valves of refillable propellant gas cylinders used as part of portable fire extinguishers are also covered by this document, if these cylinders are transported separately.
