Gas cylinders - Specifications and testing of LPG cylinder valves - Self-closing (ISO 14245:2021)
This document specifies the requirements for design, specification, type testing and production testing
and inspection for dedicated LPG self-closing cylinder valves for use with and directly connected to
transportable refillable LPG cylinders.
It also includes requirements for associated equipment for vapour and liquid service. Bursting discs
and/or fusible plugs are not covered in this document.

Introduction
This document covers the function of a LPG cylinder valve as a closure (defined by the UN Model
[15]
Regulations ).
This document has been written so that it is suitable to be referenced in the UN Model Regulations.
Cylinder valves complying with this document can be expected to perform satisfactorily under normal
service conditions.
When an LPG cylinder valve has been approved according to a previous edition of this document, the
body responsible for approving the same LPG cylinder valve to this new edition should consider which
tests need to be performed.
In this document the unit bar is used, due to its universal use in the field of technical gases. It should,
however, be noted that bar is not an SI unit, and that the corresponding SI unit for pressure is Pa
5 5 2
(1 bar = 10 Pa = 10 N/m ).
Pressure values given in this document are given as gauge pressure (pressure exceeding atmospheric
pressure) unless noted otherwise.

Introduction
This document covers the function of a LPG cylinder valve as a closure (defined by the UN Model
[15]
Regulations ).
This document has been written so that it is suitable to be referenced in the UN Model Regulations.
Cylinder valves complying with this document can be expected to perform satisfactorily under normal
service conditions.
When an LPG cylinder valve has been approved according to a previous edition of this document, the
body responsible for approving the same LPG cylinder valve to this new edition should consider which
tests need to be performed.
In this document the unit bar is used, due to its universal use in the field of technical gases. It should,
however, be noted that bar is not an SI unit, and that the corresponding SI unit for pressure is Pa
5 5 2
(1 bar = 10 Pa = 10 N/m ).
Pressure values given in this document are given as gauge pressure (pressure exceeding atmospheric
pressure) unless noted otherwise.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 14245:2021(E)
Gas cylinders — Specifications and testing of LPG cylinder
valves — Self-closing
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for design, specification, type testing and production testing
and inspection for dedicated LPG self-closing cylinder valves for use with and directly connected to
transportable refillable LPG cylinders.
It also includes requirements for associated equipment for vapour and liquid service. Bursting discs
and/or fusible plugs are not covered in this document.
Annex A identifies requirements for production testing and inspection.
This document excludes other LPG cylinder devices which are not an integral part of the dedicated self-
closing cylinder valve.
This document does not apply to cylinder valves for fixed automotive installations and ball valves.
NOTE For manually operated LPG cylinder valves see ISO 15995. For cylinder valves for compressed,
dissolved and other liquefied gases see ISO 10297, ISO 17871 or ISO 17879.

device such as a float gauge, permitting the gauging of the liquid level in the cylinder
3.8
valve body
major valve component including valve stem (3.14) and valve outlet (3.15) and, where applicable, the
provision for other optional components
3.9
excess flow valve
valve comprising two or more components designed to close or partially close when the flow of liquid or
vapour passing through it exceeds a predetermined value and to re-open when the pressure differential
across the valve has been restored below a certain value
3.10
non-return valve
automatic valve which allows gas/liquid to flow only in one direction
