<p>This document specifies the procedures and acceptance criteria for manufacturing tests and examinations (sometimes called "initial inspection and tests") of valves designed and type tested in accordance with ISO 10297.</p>
<p>This document is applicable to:</p>
<p>a) cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable gas cylinders;</p>
<p>b) main valves (excluding ball valves) for cylinder bundles;</p>
<p>c) cylinder valves or main valves with integrated pressure regulator (VIPR);</p>
<p>d) valves for pressure drums and tubes.</p>
<p>NOTE Where there is no risk of ambiguity, cylinder valves, main valves, VIPR and valves for pressure drums and tubes are addressed with the collective term “valves” within this document.</p>
<p>The principles of these manufacturing tests and examinations can be beneficially applied to cylinder valves type tested to national or International Standards other than ISO 10297.</p>
