1 Scope
1.1 * This International Standard specifies requirements for low-pressure hose assemblies intended for use with the following medical gases:
-
— oxygen;
-
— nitrous oxide;
-
— medical air;
-
— helium;
-
— carbon dioxide;
-
— xenon;
-
— specified mixtures of the gases listed above;
-
— oxygen-enriched air;
-
— air for driving surgical tools;
-
— nitrogen for driving surgical tools;
-
— vacuum.
It is intended in particular to ensure gas-specificity and to prevent cross-connection between systems conveying different gases. These hose assemblies are intended for use at maximum operating pressures of less than 1 400 kPa.
