Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

systems components —
Part 3:
80% stop valve
1 Scope
This document specifies general requirements and definitions of liquefied petroleum gas fuel
components, intended for use on the types of motor vehicles as defined in ISO 3833. It also provides
general design principles, and specifies requirements for instructions and marking.
This document is applicable to vehicles (mono-fuel, bi-fuel or dual-fuel applications) using gaseous fuels
in accordance with ISO 9162. It is not applicable to the following:
a) fuel containers;
b) stationary gas engines;
c) container mounting hardware;
d) electronic fuel management; and
e) refuelling receptacles.
NOTE 1 It is recognized that miscellaneous components not specifically addressed herein can be examined
for compliance with the criteria of any applicable part of ISO 20766, including testing to the appropriate
functional tests.
NOTE 2 All references to pressure in this document are considered gauge pressures unless otherwise
specified.
NOTE 3 This document applies to devices which have a service pressure in the range of 110 kPa (Butane rich
at 20 °C) and 840 kPa (Propane at 20 °C), hereinafter referred to in this document.
Other service pressures can be accommodated by adjusting the pressure by
