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 2.
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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17268 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 197, Hydrogen technologies.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 17268:2006), which has been technically revised.

applicable. A new receptacle test sample shall be used for each nozzle test. The failure of any test conducted
with the nozzle and receptacle test sample shall constitute a failure of the nozzle design.
7.4 Receptacle tests
Receptacles shall be evaluated with nozzle(s) which have been deemed compliant to this International Standard.
The failure of any test conducted with the receptacle and nozzle test samples shall constitute a failure of the
receptacle design.
7.5 User – Machine interface
This test shall be performed to verify the connection and disconnection forces and torques of an unpressurized
and pressurized device.
The disconnection forces and torques shall be applied in a direction that tends to disconnect and release the
nozzle. The torque shall be applied to the disconnection/release actuator or three-way valve. For example, if
there is a handle, the torque shall be applied through axis rotation of the nozzle handle equal to the exterior
handling surface of the nozzle mechanism and in such a direction that tends to unhook and release the nozzle.
The test shall be deemed to be successfully passed if the following conditions are met:
— The appearance of the nozzle and receptacle shall be such as to clearly suggest the proper method of use.
— It shall not be possible to deliver gas using any nozzles unless the nozzle and receptacle are connected
properly and positively locked.

Following the tests described above, the nozzle, receptacle, connector and receptacle check valve shall be
bubble free for 1 minute. If bubbles are detected then the leak rate shall be measured by either an external
vacuum test using leak test gas (global accumulation test) or an equivalent method to show that the leak rate

is less than 20 cm /h of hydrogen at 20 °C.
NOTE The permitted leakage rate is applicable to tests with 100 % hydrogen only. Permitted leakage rates for other
gases or gas mixtures are to be converted to an equivalent leakage rate to that for 100 % hydrogen.
7.8 Valve operating handle
This test shall be performed to verify that nozzles equipped with operating handles can withstand a maximum
force without damage.
A 200 N force shall be applied to the valve operating handle at the point furthest away from the axis of rotation
in both the opening and closing directions. The test shall be performed with the nozzle properly connected to
a receptacle, and with the nozzle intentionally, improperly engaged relative to the receptacle.
Following the tests, the nozzle shall maintain safe operating functionality.
7.9 Receptacle vibration resistance
This test shall be performed to verify receptacle and protective cap resistance to vibration.
The receptacle and protective cap shall be secured in a test apparatus and vibrated at each integer frequency
from 5 Hz to 60 Hz for eight minutes at each frequency. The amplitude of the vibration shall be at least 1,5 mm
from 5 Hz to 20 Hz, 1,2 mm from 20 Hz to 40 Hz, and 1 mm from 40 Hz to 60 Hz. The tests shall be conducted
once in the axial direction, and again in the radial direction.
Following the tests, there shall be no visible damage to the receptacle and protective caps. The receptacle
shall comply with all the receptacle leakage tests specified in 7.7 and 7.11 as well as the hydrostatic strength
test specified in 7.16.
7.10 Abnormal loads
This test shall be performed to verify that the nozzle and recept
