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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 11119 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11119-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 3, Cylinder
design.
ISO 11119 consists of the following parts, under the general title Gas cylinders of composite construction —
Specification and test methods:
— Part 1: Hoop wrapped composite gas cylinders
— Part 2: Fully wrapped fibre reinforced composite gas cylinders with load-sharing metal liners
— Part 3: Fully wrapped fibre reinforced composite gas cylinders with non-metallic and non-load-sharing metal

ISO 11119-1:2002(E)
Introduction
The purpose of ISO 11119 is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection and testing of a
cylinder for world-wide usage. The objective is to balance design and economic efficiency against international
acceptance and universal utility.
ISO 11119 aims to eliminate the concern about climate, duplicate inspection and restrictions currently existing
because of lack of definitive International Standards and should not be construed as reflecting on the suitability of
the practice of any nation or region.

Part 1:
Hoop wrapped composite gas cylinders
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11119 specifies requirements for composite gas cylinders up to and including 450 litres water
capacity, for the storage and conveyance of compressed or liquefied gases with test pressures up to and including
1)
650 bar . The cylinders are constructed in the form of a seamless metallic liner over-wrapped with carbon fibre or
aramid fibre or glass fibre (or a mixture thereof) in a resin matrix, or steel wire, to provide circumferential
reinforcement.
This part of ISO 11119 addresses cylinders with a design life from 10 a to non-limited life. For cylinders with a
design life in excess of 15 a, and in order for these cylinders to remain in service beyond 15 a, requalification of
these cylinders is recommended.
This part of ISO 11119 does not address the design, fitting and performance of removable protective sleeves.
Where these are fitted, they should be considered separately.
NOTE 1 ISO 11439 applies to cylinders intended for use as fuel containers on natural gas vehicles.

International Standard for the relevant metallic material (as listed in 6.1.1).
7.3.2 The composite cylinder shall be fabricated from a load-sharing liner over-wrapped with layers of resin
impregnated continuous fibres or steel wire. The winding shall be applied in a circumferential direction under
controlled tension winding to develop the design composite thickness as specified in the documentation in 7.2.3.
Liners may be stripped and re-wound, provided that the overwrap has not been cured. The liner shall not be over-
wrapped if it has been damaged or scored by the stripping process.
7.3.3 After winding is completed, the composite shall be cured (if appropriate) using a controlled temperature
profile as specified in the documentation in 7.2.3. The maximum temperature shall be such that the mechanical
properties of the liner material are not adversely affected.

8 Type approval procedure
8.1 General requirements
The design submission of each new design of cylinder shall be submitted by the manufacturer to the inspector. The
type approval tests detailed in 8.2 shall be carried out on each new design or design variant under the supervision
of the inspector.
8.2 Prototype tests
8.2.1 A minimum of 30 cylinders that are guaranteed by the manufacturer to be representative of the new design
shall be made available for prototype testing.
8.2.2 If, for special applications, the total number of cylinders required is less than 30, enough cylinders shall be
made to complete the prototype tests required, in addition to the production quantity. In this case the approval
validity is limited to this batch only.
8.2.3 For a limited design change (design variant), in accordance with Table 2, a reduced number of cylinders
may be selected by the inspector.
8.2.4 The inspector shall verify that the batch of liners, prior to being wrapped, conforms to the design
requirements and is inspected and tested in accordance with 9.1. Where specified in Table 2, one liner shall be
selected and subjected to a burst test in accordance with 8.5.3.
8.2.5 The inspector shall verify that the composite material(s), prior to the cylinders being wrapped, conform to
the design requirements and are tested in accordance with 9.3.
8.2.6 The inspector shall verify that all cylinders in the batch produced for new design approval conform to the
