This British Standard specifies requirements for oxygen that is to be used in industrial applications. It also describes the analytical principles and methods to be used to demonstrate compliance with the specification. Requirements for containers and their labelling are also specified.

This standard does not apply to oxygen for medical, breathing, electronics, or other applications where more demanding impurity limits may apply.

NOTE The oxygen is referred to hereafter as “the product??.
