Gas cylinders — Identification of gas cylinder manufacturer marks and their assigned radio frequency identification (RFID) codes

ISO/TR 17329:2015 provides an inventory, as far as known at time of publication, of manufacturer's identification marks and their assigned radio frequency identification (RFID) codes according to ISO 21007-1 and ISO 21007-2. The listing includes marks of existing gas cylinder manufacturers, as well as cylinder manufacturers which have ceased production in the past, but whose cylinders can still be in service today. NOTE It is intended to revise Annex A of this Technical Report from time to time in order to update the list of codes and identification marks of gas cylinder manufacturers in accordance with the progressing commercial and economic development in the cylinder manufacturing industry. Any request for inclusion or modification of these identifications is to be made to the ISO/TC 58/SC 4 Secretariat, who would update the information in Annex A after consultation with the committee leadership.

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.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical

Introduction
The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide the gas cylinder manufacturing industry, the approval
authorities, the inspection bodies, the gas industry and all associated industry branches dealing with
gas cylinders a tool for identifying gas cylinders with their manufacturer’s marks and their assigned
radio frequency identification (RFID) codes.
TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 17329:2015(E)
Gas cylinders — Identification of gas cylinder
manufacturer marks and their assigned radio frequency
identification (RFID) codes
1 Scope
This Technical Report provides an inventory, as far as known at time of publication, of manufacturer’s
identification marks and their assigned radio frequency identification (RFID) codes according to
ISO 21007-1 and ISO 21007-2. The listing includes marks of existing gas cylinder manufacturers, as well
as cylinder manufacturers which have ceased production in the past, but whose cylinders can still be in
service today.
NOTE It is intended to revise Annex A of this Technical Report from time to time in order to update the list
of codes and identification marks of gas cylinder manufacturers in accordance with the progressing commercial
and economic development in the cylinder manufacturing industry.
Any request for inclusion or modification of these identifications is to be made to the ISO/TC 58/SC 4
Secretariat, who would update the information in Annex A after consultation with the committee leadership.
2 General
There is a general marking requirement by national or international regulations and standards to
identify gas cylinders with the cylinder manufacturer’s identification (name, trademark and/or logo),
e.g. by stamp marking, or for composite cylinders, by labelling, in order to guarantee their traceability.
In certain circumstances, it is very important to enable a distinctive identification of the origin of the
cylinder. Normally for a given manufacturer, the identification is specific to a manufacturing location.
When, in addition to the above marking requirements, the cylinders are identified by radio frequency
identification (RFID) codes, the technologies and RFID codes in accordance with ISO 21007 are used.
The first three digits of the RFID codes listed in Column 1 of Annex A are the country code as listed
in ISO 3166-1. The subsequent two digits are assigned consecutively in the country’s listing. Once
assigned, the RFID code designation does not change.
Annex A lists cylinder manufacturers by countries which are currently known to produce or have
produced gas cylinders. The list does not claim to be complete and is valid only as of the date of the
publication of this Technical Report. Manufacturers that no longer produce cylinders remain in Annex A
as their cylinders could still be in service and need to be identified.
It is expected that the manufacturers are using manufacturer’s marks which identify unambiguously
the manufacturing plant/facility to clearly identify the plant to which the type approval of the
concerned cylinder was assigned. Annex A clearly indicates the date when the manufacturing at the old
plant/facility ends and the date when the new plant/facility begins manufacturing cylinders. Names of
manufacturers may have changed over time; however, these manufacturers may have continued using
the same manufacturer’s mark provided the approval criteria for the cylinders in question have not
changed. Vice versa, a change of the manufacturer’s mark may have taken place or alternative marks
may be used by one and the same manufacturer.
Clause 3 explains the information provided in each column of Annex A.
To provide updates to the list of manufacturers, use the link provided in Annex B for instructions to
submit new/revised information. These revisions, once approved by ISO/TC 58/SC 4 and designated
with an RFID code, will be provided on Standards Maintenance Portal at the link provided in Annex C.
3 Explanation of columns
The column entitled “Code” designates the RFID code for a manufacturer.
Note This code is assigned by the experts of ISO/TC 58/SC 4.
The column entitled “Manufacturer name” designates the official name of the gas cylinder
manufacturer. It should be noted that the name may have changed over time.
The column entitled “Location of manufacturing plant/facility” designates the plant/facility
responsible for manufacturing and to which the mark is assigned.
The column entitled “Year(s) of manufacture” designates the years for which the manufacturer’s
mark(s) were used, if known.
For example,
— “→ 1927” means the mark was used inclusive of 1927,
— “1927 → 1961” means the mark was used from some time in 1927 to some time during 1961, and
— “2002 →” means the mark has been used starting some time during 2002 to present.
The column entitled “Manufacturer’s mark” provides the official manufacturer’s identification that is
marked on the cylinder as required by ISO 13769 (stamp marking 3 in ISO 13769, Table 1).
