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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at

Introduction
The aim of this document is to provide a set of common requirements for metallic materials used in cryogenic
[1] [2]
applications, in alignment with the IGC Code and IGF Code adopted by the International Maritime
Organization (IMO).
The newly developed high manganese austenitic steel is expected to possess mechanical properties including
Charpy impact energy values comparable to those materials for cryogenic service listed in both the IGC Code
and IGF Code. Consequently, high manganese steel is intended to satisfy the strength requirements of the
structure of cargo tanks, fuel tanks and piping systems.
In addition, upon agreement with a purchaser, this document can be applied to piping system for liquefied
hydrogen.
This document provides a standard specification of high manganese austenitic steel castings for material
suppliers, ship owners, ship yards, manufacturers and shipping companies with regard to producing,
purchasing and using such materials.
