4 Requirements
4.1 Design
4.1.1 General
The LNG on-board fuel system components shall conform to the ISO 12614 series and ISO 12617, as applicable.
The LNG fuel system components, specified in ISO 12614-1, shall be designed on the basis of the service
pressure. For bi-fuel vehicles, provisions shall be made to avoid accelerated deterioration of the non-LNG
fuel system as a result of sustained operation on natural gas. Such measures shall be as recommended by the
original vehicle manufacturer (e.g. fuel hoses).
All fuel system components shall fulfil the following conditions:
a) they shall withstand the environmental temperatures and other environmental conditions safely during
their operational life;
b) they shall be located with full regard for anticipated damage while the vehicle is being used safely. Such
damage can be caused by the vehicle itself, by extraneous factors such as heat, road debris, automotive
chemical splash (brake liquid, oil, petrol, cooling liquid, etc.), rust, etc.;
c) they shall not exceed the outermost, highest or lowest parts of the vehicles without further protection;
d) they shall be fitted so as not to affect ground clearance, approach angle, ramp (break-over) angle or
departure angles as defined by the vehicle manufacturer;
e) they shall be located so that they will not suffer corrosion damage by accumulation of water or cargo
chemicals;
f) they shall ensure the proper electrical conductivity throughout the fuel system in order to avoid
electrostatic charges. This provision does not apply to gas-tight housings and ventilation hoses;
g) all connections shall be made in locations where access is possible for inspection.
The system shall be so designed that galvanic corrosion is minimized.
The system shall be so designed that using a grounding point protects it against electrical discharge.
The following tank components, when used, shall be placed in a safe place or suitably protected against
damage, such as that arising from moving vehicle components, collision and grit or that due to loading or
unloading of the vehicle or the shifting of those loads:
— manual valve(s);
— pressure relief valve(s) (PRV);
— automatic shut-off valve;
— excess flow limiting device;
— fill check valve.
The manual valves shall be easily accessible.
The LNG on-board fuel system shall include:
— LNG tank(s) or vessel(s);
— LNG heat

3.1 3.1
liquefied natural gas
LNG
cryogenic liquid, produced by reducing the temperature of natural gas to about −162 °C at atmospheric
pressure
3.2 3.2
pressure relief valve

4 Requirements
4.1 Design
4.1.1 General
The LNG on-board fuel system components shall conform to the ISO 12614 (all parts)series and ISO 12617, as
applicable.
The liquefied natural gasLNG fuel system components, specified in ISO 12614-1, shall be designed on the basis
of the service pressure. For bi-fuel vehicles, provisionprovisions shall be made to avoid accelerated
deterioration of the non-LNG fuel system as a result of sustained operation on natural gas. Such measures shall
be as recommended by the original vehicle manufacturer (e.g. fuel hoses).
All fuel system components shall fulfil the following conditions:
a) a) they shall withstand the environmental temperatures and other environmental conditions
safely during their operational life;
b) b) they shall be located with full regard for anticipated damage while the vehicle is being used
safely. Such damage can be caused by the vehicle itself, by extraneous factors such as heat, road debris,
automotive chemical splash (brake liquid, oil, petrol, cooling liquid, etc.), or by rust, etc;.;
c) c) they shall not exceed the outermost, highest or lowest parts of the vehicles without further
protection;
d) d) they shall be fitted so as not to affect ground clearance, approach angle, ramp (break-over)
angle or departure angles as defined by the vehicle manufacturer;
e) e) they shall be located so that they will not suffer corrosion damage by accumulation of water or
cargo chemicals;
f) f) they shall assureensure the proper electrical conductivity throughout the fuel system in order
to avoid electrostatic charges. This provision does not apply to gas-tight housings and ventilation hoses;
g) g) all connections shall be made in locations where access is possible for inspection.
The system shall be so designed that galvanic corrosion is minimized.
The system shall be so designed that using a grounding point protects it against electrical discharge.
ISO/FDIS 19723-1:2018(E2025(en)
The following tank components, when used, shall be placed in a safe place or suitably protected against
damage, such as that arising from moving vehicle components, collision and grit or that due to loading or
unloading of the vehicle or the shifting of those loads:
