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.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
Cylinders for the on-board storage of fuel for natural gas vehicle service are required to be light-weight, at the same
time maintaining or improving on the level of safety currently existing for other pressure vessels. These
requirements are achieved by:
a) specifying service conditions precisely and comprehensively as a firm basis for both cylinder design and use;
b) using an appropriate method to assess cyclic pressure fatigue life and to establish allowable defect sizes in
metal cylinders or liners;
c) requiring design qualification tests;
d) requiring non-destructive testing and inspection of all production cylinders;
e) requiring destructive tests on cylinders and cylinder material taken from each batch of cylinders produced;
f) requiring manufacturers to have a comprehensive quality system documented and implemented;
g) requiring periodic re-inspection and, if necessary, retesting in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;
h) requiring manufacturers to specify as part of their design, the safe service life of their cylinders.
Cylinder designs that meet the requirements of this International Standard:
a) will have a fatigue life which exceeds the specified service life;
b) when pressure cycled to failure, will leak but not rupture;
c) when subject to hydrostatic burst tests, will have factors of “stress at burst pressure” over “stress at working
pressure” that exceed the values specified for the type of design and the materials used.
Owners or users of cylinders designed to this International Standard should note that the cylinders are designed to
operate safely if used in accordance with specified service conditions for a specified finite service life only. The
expiry date is marked on each cylinder and it is the responsibility of owners and users to ensure that cylinders are
not used after that date, and that they are inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

4 Service conditions
4.1 General
4.1.1 Standard service conditions
The standard service conditions specified in this clause are provided as the basis for the design, manufacture,
inspection, testing and approval of cylinders that are to be mounted permanently on vehicles and used to store
natural gas at ambient temperatures for use as a fuel on the vehicles.
4.1.2 Use of cylinders
The service conditions specified are also intended to provide information on how cylinders manufactured in
accordance with this International Standard may safely be used; this information is intended for
a) manufacturers of cylinders;
b) owners of cylinders;
c) designers or contractors responsible for the installation of cylinders;
d) designers or owners of equipment used to refuel vehicle cylinders;
e) suppliers of natural gas;
f) regulatory authorities who have jurisdiction over cylinder use.
4.1.3 Service life
The service life for which cylinders are safe shall be specified by the cylinder manufacturer on the basis of use
under service conditions specified herein. The maximum service life shall be 20 years.
For metal and metal-lined cylinders, the service life shall be based upon the rate of fatigue crack growth. The
ultrasonic inspection, or equivalent, of each cylinder or liner shall ensure the absence of flaws which exceed the
maximum allowable size. This approach permits the optimized design and manufacture of light weight cylinders for
natural gas vehicle service.
For all-composite cylinders with non-metallic non-load bearing liners the service life shall be demonstrated by
appropriate design methods, design qualification testing and manufacturing controls.
4.2 Maximum pressures
This International Standard is based upon a working pressure of 200 bar settled at 15 °C for natural gas as a fuel
with a maximum filling pressure of 260 bar. Other working pressures may be accommodated by adjusting the
pressure by the appropriate factor (ratio); e.g., a 250 bar working pressure system will require pressures to be
multiplied by 1,25.
Except where pressures have been adjusted in this way, the cylinder shall be designed to be suitable for the
following pressure limits:
a) a pressure that would settle to 200 bar at a settled temperature of 15 °C;
b) the maximum shall not exceed 260 bar, regardless of filling conditions or temperature.

4.4.2 Cylinder temperatures
Cylinders shall be designed to be suitable for the following material temperature limits:
a) the temperature of the cylinder materials may vary from – 40 °Cto� 82 °C.
b) temperatures over � 65 °C shall be sufficiently local, or of short enough duration, that the temperature of gas in
the cylinder never exceeds � 65 °C, except under the conditions of 4.4.1 b).
4.5 Gas composition
4.5.1 General

4.6 External surfaces
It is not necessary for cylinders to be designed for continuous exposure to mechanical or chemical attack, e.g.
leakage from cargo that may be carried on vehicles or severe abrasion damage from road conditions. However,
cylinder external surfaces shall be designed to withstand inadvertent exposure to the following, consistent with
