10、. 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
11、-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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part
12、 2. The main task 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
13、a vote. 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. ISO 10691 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 4, Op

15、e use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligation relating to health and safety at any stage. It has been assumed in the drafting of this International
16、Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. Where judgments are called for it has been assumed that they will be made by competent persons who have been trained specifically for the task. 1S c o p e This International Standard specifi
17、es the procedures to be adopted when checking transportable refillable welded steel LPG cylinders before, during and after filling. It applies to transportable refillable welded steel LPG cylinders of water capacity from up to and including . It does not apply to cylinders permanently installed in v
18、ehicles, or to plant and filling equipment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

26、o filling 4.1 General Cylinders shall be checked and segregated into the categories specified in 4.2 to 4.4. 4.2 Cylinders suitable for filling Cylinders shall be deemed suitable for filling if the following conditions apply: a) the design code/specification is identifiable; b) the tare mass or tare
27、 indication and water capacity are marked; c) the product mass and product identification (LPG) are indicated when required; 150 l 15 CISO 10691:2004(E) ISO 2004 All rights reserved 3 d) the cylinder is within the test date as determined from the marked manufacturers or periodic inspection dates; e)
28、 the symbol of the periodic inspection test station or inspection body is indicated; f) a visual inspection of visible areas shows that the cylinder (including foot ring) and valve are free of defects as described in 4.4; g) the cylinder is not leaking. 4.3 Cylinders to be periodically inspected Whe
29、n at least one of the following conditions apply, cylinders shall be set aside for periodic inspection in accordance with ISO 10464: a) the cylinder is beyond its test date; b) the cylinder cannot be confirmed to be within its test date; c) the cylinder has markings that are obscured and not easily
30、identified. 4.4 Cylinders requiring further assessment Where the initial segregation checks reveal any of the following defects, cylinders shall be subjected to further assessment, resulting in e.g. taring, reconditioning or rejection, in accordance with Clause 5: a) with cylinders intended to be fi
31、lled by mass, the tare mass or indication of tare mass is missing or illegible; b) the cylinder is defective or damaged, e.g. there is damage to shrouds, carrying handles or foot rings, or the cylinder is dented or fire-damaged; c) the cylinder is found to have visible corrosion or, with cylinders w
32、ith a welded foot ring, to exhibit corrosion at the weld; d) the cylinder, valve or pressure relief devices (if fitted) are leaking or are damaged. 5 Reassessment of cylinders Cylinders that have been set aside (see 4.4) shall be examined by a competent person who shall decide whether they are suita
