BS EN ISO 15002:2008+A1:2019

This standard BS EN ISO 15002:2008+A1:2019 Flow-metering devices for connection to terminal units of medical gas pipeline systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 11.040.10 Anaesthetic, respiratory and reanimation equipment

1.1

This International Standard is applicable to:

• flow-metering devices that are connected, either directly or by means of flexible connecting assemblies, and disconnected by the operator at terminal units of a medical gas pipeline system for flow adjustment, measurement and delivery of medical gases;

• flow-metering devices that are connected and disconnected by the operator at gas-specific connection points of devices such as pressure regulators.

1.2

This International Standard applies to:

1. flow-metering devices intended to be used with the following medical gases:

   • oxygen;

   • nitrous oxide;

   • medical air;

   • carbon dioxide;

   • oxygen/nitrous oxide mixture [50 %/50 % (by volume)];

   • specified mixtures of the gases listed above;

2. flow-metering devices intended to be used with the following gases:

   • oxygen-enriched air;

   • helium;

   • xenon.

NOTE Regional or national regulations might permit use of oxygen-specific connection points for oxygen-enriched air.

1.3
