Overview: Under the direction of PVE/3, is responsible for the UK input to the development and adoption of standards from ISO/TC 58/SC 2, other related standards from ISO/TC 58 and CEN/TC 23 and for national and other standards concerning: • the design and testing of valves, fittings and accessories (including flexible hoses), valve protection guards and caps, connection threads for gas cylinders and other transportable pressure receptacles, (e.g. bundles of cylinders) • test and calculation methods to determine the fire potential (including oxidizing ability), toxicity and tissue corrosiveness of gases and gas mixtures. NOTE. For LPG valve related matters, PVE/3/1 liaises with PVE/19 LPG containers associated fittings.
