Resumen:
This International Standard in conjunction with ISO 10297:2014 and ISO 14246:2014 specifies design, type testing, manufacturing tests and examinations and marking requirements for quick-release cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable gas cylinders which convey non-toxic, non-oxidizing 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. NOTE The main application of such quick-release cylinder valves is in the fire-fighting industry. However there are other applications such as but not limited to avalanche airbags, life raft inflation and similar applications. This International Standard covers the function of a quick-release cylinder valve as a closure. This International Standard does not apply to quick-release cylinder valves for cryogenic equipment, for portable fire extinguishers, or for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
