    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies requirements for compressed gas regulators and compressed gas regulators with flow-metering devices for use in the medical gas industry. This Standard aligns closely with ISO10524:1995 and EN738-1:1997 with magnification and clarification of the test procedures and their test results.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1 GeneralThis Standard specifies requirements for pressure regulators, pressure regulators with integral flow-metering devices and flow-metering devices which are intended to be connected to pressure regulators for the administration of medical gases.1.2 Medical gases This Standard covers the following common medical gases: (a) Air. (b) Carbon dioxide. (c) Helium. (d) Oxygen. (e) Nitrogen. (f) Nitrous oxide. (g) Xenon. (h) Mixtures of oxygen and carbon dioxide.(i) Mixtures of oxygen and helium.(j) Mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen.(k) Mixtures of oxygen and nitrous oxide.(l) Other gas mixtures to which pin index configurations have been assigned.NOTE: The list of medical gases shown is not exhaustive.
