Scope
ISO 10286:2025 defines terms and definitions relevant to gas cylinders and other pressure receptacles and their fittings. Its scope includes terminology for cylinder types, components (valves, fittings, liners), pressure-related terms, testing and inspection terminology, and terms needed for safe handling and transport. The vocabulary is intended for use across ISO/TC 58 deliverables and for stakeholders who apply standards and regulations for gas cylinders and related equipment.
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized definitions for cylinder types (e.g., seamless, welded, composite) and construction elements.
- Terms for fittings, valves, connections and protective devices used with gas cylinders.
- Pressure- and testing-related vocabulary (working pressure, test pressure, proof test, leak test).
- Definitions supporting transport, inspection and maintenance requirements for cylinders and receptacles.
- Harmonization of bilingual (English/French) terminology for use in ISO documents and regulatory texts.
Typical use and users
Used by gas cylinder manufacturers, design engineers, testing and inspection laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, national standards bodies, transport authorities, safety officers, maintenance personnel and regulatory agencies to ensure consistent terminology across design, manufacturing, testing and regulatory documents.
Related standards
ISO 10286:2025 is used alongside other ISO standards for gas cylinders and their safe use and testing (examples include standards covering cylinder design and construction, material compatibility, periodic inspection and testing, and transport-related requirements). Related documents commonly referenced together include standards in the ISO/TC 58 series such as ISO 11119 (composite cylinders), ISO 18119 (periodic inspection and testing), ISO 10460 and other cylinder-specific design and testing standards.
