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 documents 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 ).

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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, SC 2, Cylinder fittings.

Introduction

This International Standard establishes a method of allocating a four-digit code number (FTSC) to any gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or mixture of gases contained in cylinders. This code number categorizes the gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or gas mixture in terms of its physical-chemical properties and/or flammability, toxicity, state of the gas, and corrosiveness (see 4.1). FTSC is the abbreviation of these properties.

The FTSC code enables a gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or gas mixture to be assigned to one of the 15 “compatible” gas groups.

The FTSC codes and the method for their determination are currently given in ISO 5145:2014, Annex A for use in the selection of valve outlets. This annex from ISO 5145 will be removed when the present standard is published.

The properties and the selection criteria are aligned as appropriate with the Globally Harmonized System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

1 Scope

This International Standard gives a list of FTSC (fire potential, i.e. “oxidizing potential and flammability”, toxicity, state of the gas, and corrosiveness) codes determined according to the relevant properties of gases and of some liquids that are transported under pressure.

It does not cover gas material compatibility which is covered by ISO 11114 (all parts).
