Introduction
Gas cylinders are usually fitted with a valve to contain the gas or allow its discharge.
Requirements for the specification and type testing of cylinder valves are given in EN 849.
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the requirements for tests and inspections of gas cylinder valves at time of
manufacture.
This Standard is applicable to valves to be fitted to industrial and medical gas cylinders, up to 150 l
water capacity, intended to convey compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases.
This Standard is only applicable to valves operated by a hand wheel or a key.
This Standard is not applicable to valves for breathing equipment, fire extinguishers, cryogenic
equipment and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other
publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of
any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by
amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to
applies (including amendments).
