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.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 4,
Operational requirements for gas cylinders.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/members .html.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 13769:2007), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— inclusion of markings for non-refillable gas cylinders;
— inclusion of markings for gas cylinders less than 0,5 l water capacity;
— inclusion of marking examples for small non-refillable and refillable gas cylinders.

Introduction
This document has been written so that it is suitable to be referenced in the UN Recommendations for
the Transport of Dangerous Goods — Model Regulations.
This document is intended to be applied at the time of cylinder manufacture. However, it may be applied
by the cylinder user during use operations, e.g. the stamping of “empty weight” (item 10 in Figures C.1,
C.2 and C.3) on cylinders not so marked at the time of manufacture. It is also intended to be applied at
the time of periodic inspection.
Some stamp markings include the year and month. The order of these time elements is given with the
most significant digits (the year) to the left, in accordance with the rules given in ISO 8601.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13769:2018(E)

small cylinder
cylinder on which, due to its geometry, the arrangement and position of the markings cannot be
executed as described in Annex C
4 Application of stamp markings
4.1 General
The stamp markings listed in Table 1 consist of manufacturing, operational and certification stamp
marks. See 4.3 for the arrangement and position of stamp markings.
Additional markings may be applied as agreed upon by interested parties, provided the layout does
not cause confusion regarding their interpretation and the clarity of other mandatory markings is not
affected.
