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

Introduction
This International Standard addresses the general requirements on design, construction, and initial
inspection and testing of non-refillable metallic gas cylinders and their non-refillable sealing devices of the
United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Model Regulations. The purpose
of this International Standard is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection, and
testing of non-refillable metallic gas cylinders for worldwide safe use, handling, and transport.
The objective is to balance design and economic efficiency against international acceptance and
universal utility.
This International Standard aims to eliminate the concern about climate, duplicate inspections, and
restrictions currently existing because of lack of definitive International Standards. This International
Standard does not reflect on the suitability of the practice of any nation or region.

Specification and test methods
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies minimum requirements for the material, design, inspections,
construction and workmanship, manufacturing processes, and tests at manufacture of non-refillable
metallic gas cylinders of welded, brazed, or seamless construction for compressed and liquefied gases
including the requirements for their non-refillable sealing devices and their methods of testing.
NOTE The specific gases permitted in cylinders constructed to this International Standard can be limited by
national or international requirements.
This International Standard is applicable to cylinders where
a) the test pressure does not exceed 250 bar (i.e. p ≤ 250 bar) for liquefied gases and 450 bar for
h
compressed gases;
b) the product of the test pressure and the water capacity does not exceed 1 000 bar·litres (i.e.
p V ≤ 1 000 bar L);
h
c) the test pressure exceeds 45 bar and the water capacity does not exceed 5 l (i.e. for p > 45 bar,
h
then V ≤ 5 l).

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 11118 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 3, Cylinder
design.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11118:1999), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection and
testing of non-refillable metallic gas cylinders for worldwide usage. The objective is to balance design and
economic efficiency against international acceptance and universal utility.
This International Standard aims to eliminate the concern about climate, duplicate inspections and restrictions
currently existing because of lack of definitive International Standards. This International Standard should not be
considered as reflecting on the suitability of the practice of any nation or region.
