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 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

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, in collaboration with
the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 23, Transportable
gas cylinders, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition (ISO 10286:2021), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— introduction of several new terms and definitions throughout Clause 3;
— correction of definitions throughout Clause 3;
— removal of some terms and definitions in Clause 3;
— addition to Annex B of both the terms introduced in Clause 3 and of additional terms where no definition
were given but the correct translation into French and German are given.
