Full title and description

ISO 10524-1:2018/Amd 1:2023 — Pressure regulators for use with medical gases — Part 1: Pressure regulators and pressure regulators with flow‑metering devices — Amendment 1. This document is an official amendment to ISO 10524‑1:2018 that updates specific technical requirements and references for pressure regulators intended for medical‑gas applications.

Abstract

This amendment (Amd 1:2023) to ISO 10524‑1:2018 provides targeted changes to the original Part 1 text — notably updates to connector/outlet pressure requirements and revised bibliographic references — and is intended to be used together with the base ISO 10524‑1:2018 standard. It is published as a short amendment document rather than a full new part.

Scope

This amendment applies to ISO 10524‑1:2018 (Pressure regulators for use with medical gases — Part 1) and introduces limited, specific changes to the requirements of pressure regulators and regulators with flow‑metering devices used with medical gases. The amendment clarifies or adjusts connector/outlet pressure requirements and updates normative or bibliographic references; it is not a full revision but must be read in conjunction with ISO 10524‑1:2018.

Key topics and requirements

• Updates to connector and outlet pressure requirements for pressure regulators used with medical gases.
• Revisions to bibliographic and normative references cited in Part 1.
• Intended to be applied together with the base ISO 10524‑1:2018 document (amendment does not replace the full text).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of medical‑gas pressure regulators and equipment, test and certification laboratories, hospital biomedical engineering and procurement teams, national standards bodies and regulatory authorities will use this amendment to ensure product design, testing and marking remain compliant with the latest technical requirements for medical‑gas pressure regulators.

Related standards

The amendment is part of the ISO 10524 series (other parts cover manifold and line pressure regulators, etc.); see ISO 10524‑2 and related parts for manifold/line regulator requirements. European and national bodies have produced corresponding EN/ISO consolidated documents (for example EN ISO 10524‑1:2019 with Amendment A1:2023). The amendment should be applied alongside ISO 10524‑1:2018 and referenced parts of the ISO 10524 series.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Amendment 1 (2023) to ISO 10524‑1:2018 — a published amendment that updates specific technical elements of Part 1 (pressure regulators and regulators with flow‑metering devices) for medical gases.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The amendment targets limited changes to requirements in ISO 10524‑1:2018, notably connector/outlet pressure requirements and certain bibliographic references; it is to be used together with the full text of ISO 10524‑1:2018.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Medical‑gas equipment manufacturers, testing and certification bodies, biomedical engineers in healthcare providers, regulatory and standards organisations. These users apply the amendment to ensure products and test methods meet the updated requirements.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The amendment was published in October 2023 and is the current published amendment to ISO 10524‑1:2018; it does not supersede the base standard but modifies it — users should apply the base standard together with this amendment unless a later revision is published.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10524 is a multi‑part series covering pressure regulators for medical gases (for example, ISO 10524‑2 covers manifold and line pressure regulators); this amendment applies specifically to Part 1.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Pressure regulators; medical gases; flow‑metering; amendment; connector pressure; outlet pressure; ISO 10524‑1; medical gas safety.
