The work of prep

9、aring 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

10、liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task

11、of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention

12、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. ISO 11625 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 4, Operational requirem

13、ents for gas cylinders. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11625:1998) which has been technically revised. BS ISO 11625:2007vIntroduction The following guidelines are for everyone who handles gas cylinders, and are based upon experience. Some precautions are also applica

14、ble to gas suppliers and distributors. It should not be assumed that every applicable safety precaution or regulation is contained herein. Gas cylinders are constructed, maintained and used in accordance with applicable regulations and are safe for the purposes for which they are intended. Accidents

15、 occurring during the transportation, handling, usage and storage of these cylinders can often be traced to failure to follow the guidelines set forth in this International Standard. Users of compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases should become familiar with the properties and inherent hazards of

16、the products they use. Valuable information pertaining to each specific gas is contained within its product labelling and safety data sheet. BS ISO 11625:2007blank1Gas cylinders Safe handling 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for safe handling, use and storage of gas cylinde

17、rs for compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases. This International Standard applies only to single gas cylinders of sizes from 0,5 I to 150 I water capacity. For specific gas applications such as welding, diving, inerting, etc., additional requirements apply which are not covered in this Internatio

18、nal Standard. Maintenance, repair, marking, labelling, inspection and retesting of gas cylinders, which are normally under the responsibility of the gas cylinder owner, are also not included in this International Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable f

25、shall have their contents identified as prescribed by relevant national and/or international regulations and standards. Content identification shall be present during the transportation, delivery to user and during use. The primary and only accurate identifier of cylinder content is the cylinder lab

26、el (see ISO 7225). Cylinders may be painted (colour coded, see ISO 32) to permit recognition of the contents or hazard and to permit segregation more readily in gas supplier handling operations. The user should read the label to verify that the correct gas ordered has been supplied. Cylinders that d

27、o not bear a legible label to identify the content or cylinders that bear more than one label with contradictory identification shall not be used. They shall be returned to the supplier, unused, together with appropriate explanations. 5 Safe handling requirements 5.1 General Gas cylinders shall be h

28、andled and used only by properly trained persons. The following rules apply to all gas cylinders. BS ISO 11625:200735.2 User responsibilities 5.2.1 General The user is responsible for the safe use and handling of the cylinder and its contents. When cylinders are rented, on an exchange programme or o

29、therwise owned by a distributor, gas supplier or other such entity, the user shall maintain and care for the cylinder to ensure that it is returned or exchanged in the same safe condition as it was received. If the user has any difficulty understanding any of the precautions and requirements in this

30、 International Standard, concerning the gas cylinder, the user shall contact the cylinder supplier before the gas is used. The user shall inform the supplier if the gas cylinder has been misused or damaged. 5.2.2 Prescribed markings Markings on cylinders are required by the relevant authority. Marki

31、ngs shall be clear and legible while the cylinder is in service. The user shall not add, remove or alter any of the markings on the cylinder (see ISO 13769) unless specifically allowed by the relevant authority. 5.2.3 Labels If applied, labels shall be clear and legible. The user shall not deface, a

32、lter or remove any labels. 5.2.4 Cylinder modifications The user shall not modify, tamper with, obstruct, remove or repair any part of the cylinder or valve including the pressure relief device, retest ring and other accessories if so equipped. The user shall not alter or modify (for any reason) the

33、 colour of the cylinder unless the user has received authorization to do so from the owner. 5.2.5 Contamination Contamination can occur when foreign substances, other gases, process materials or fluids enter the cylinder through the valve. If contamination has occurred or is suspected, the user shal

34、l identify and clearly mark the cylinder and shall notify the gas supplier of details on the contamination. It is the users responsibility to ensure the valve is closed during transport to the supplier. 5.2.6 Misuse Gas cylinders shall not be used as rollers, supports or for any purpose other than t

35、o deliver the gas content. 5.2.7 Electrical circuits Cylinders shall not be placed where they become part of an electrical circuit. When gas cylinders are used in conjunction with electric welding, they shall not be used for earthing (grounding) of electrical equipment. Arc welding near gas cylinder

36、s should be avoided. The use of a cylinder to test the arc performance shall not be allowed. Observing these precautions will prevent the cylinder from being arc burned. 5.2.8 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Cylinders and accessories with ferritic (magnetic) material (in most cases steel cylinders)

37、 shall not be used in the proximity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. There is the risk of personal injury/fatality and equipment damage from such cylinders being magnetically attracted by the unit. BS ISO 11625:20074 5.2.9 Temperature limits Gas cylinders shall not intentionally be exp

38、osed to temperatures above 65 C. Never apply a flame or heat directly to any part of a gas cylinder or allow it to come in contact with an electrically energized system. If ice or snow accumulates on a cylinder or related accessories, with permission of the supplier, thaw the cylinder at room temper

39、ature or with water at a temperature not exceeding 50 C. In the event that the cylinder has been accidentally heated above these temperatures, the user shall segregate the cylinder and notify the supplier. In the case where the supplier is not the owner of the cylinder, it shall be the responsibilit

40、y of the supplier to pass this information along to the owner. Cylinders shall not be subjected to artificially created low temperatures without the approval of the supplier. Cylinders are designed for use under ambient conditions; normally the temperatures for design are 20 C to + 50 C. Gas cylinde

41、rs that have been in, or exposed to fire shall not be shipped if they still contain gas under pressure. Consult the gas supplier prior to returning such cylinders. NOTE 1 Cylinders exposed to elevated temperatures can suffer mechanical damage, which could lead to an unsafe cylinder. Certain material

42、s and alloys (such as aluminium or non-metallic valve components) are more susceptible to temperature elevations, but cylinders of all materials can suffer mechanical damage from elevated temperatures. NOTE 2 Acetylene cylinders with elevated temperatures pose the risk of gas decomposition. 5.2.10 L

43、eaking cylinders Do not use a cylinder found to be leaking. Only trained and prepared personnel who have knowledge of the gas hazard(s) and who have proper protective equipment shall handle a leaking cylinder. If the hazard of the gas warrants it, all other personnel should be evacuated from the are

44、a, and emergency response people should be allowed to handle the situation. When personnel are addressing a leaking cylinder, it can be moved to a well-ventilated area or contained so that the leaking gas poses no threat to human health or life. NOTE If the leaking cylinder contains corrosive or tox

45、ic gas, consider emergency action by placing it in a special cylinder containment vessel (e.g. salvage container) for disposal. 5.2.11 Corrosion and other damage If a cylinder or valve is noticeably damaged or corroded, the gas supplier shall be notified, and his instructions followed. Any other dam

46、age that might impair the safety of the cylinder during use or transportation shall be called to the attention of the gas supplier before the return of the cylinder. 5.2.12 Discharging gas The discharge of contents from any gas cylinder shall not be directed toward any person. Corrosive or toxic gas

47、es shall not be discharged directly to the atmosphere. The user shall return cylinders containing these gases to the supplier for proper disposal. Flammable gases under certain conditions may be discharged only under controlled conditions as recommended by the supplier. Discharging gas can cause a v

48、ariety of injuries to the body especially the eyes and hands. In the event of a release, precautions should be taken to prevent potentially hazardous accumulations, e.g. toxic, asphyxiant, flammable, etc. 5.2.13 Non-refillable cylinders Non-refillable cylinders shall not be refilled after use of ori

49、ginal contents. After usage, such cylinders shall be disposed of in accordance with the cylinder suppliers recommendations and national regulations. BS ISO 11625:200755.2.14 Valve protection Valves are designed either to have inherent valve protection or they require a protection device. Except for guards/shrouds noted below, when valve protection is provided by the supplier, the user shall keep such devices on the cylinder except when cylinders are connected to dispensing equipment.
