Scope:

This document specifies design, construction, type testing, and marking requirements for manifold pressure regulators (as defined in 3.7) and line pressure regulators (as defined in 3.5) intended for use in medical gas pipeline systems.

Examples of gases include oxygen, medical air and oxygen/nitrous oxide mixtures.

This document applies to manifold pressure regulators and line pressure regulators supplied as individual units or to the relevant components incorporated within an assembly.

Manifold pressure regulators are intended to be connected to a manifold system which has a nominal inlet pressure, P1 of up to 30 000 kPa (300 bar).

Line pressure regulators are intended to be connected downstream of the manifold pressure regulator with a supply pressure up to 3 000 kPa (30 bar).

This document does not apply to pressure regulators for use with vacuum pipeline systems.

NOTE Requirements for pressure regulators for use with vacuum pipeline systems are covered in ISO 10079-3.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.
