IS 18466 : Part 1 : 2024/ISO 7396-1 : 2016 Medical Gas Pipeline Systems - Part 1 Pipeline Systems for Compressed Medical Gases and Vacuum
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1) (First Revision) which is an identical adoption of ISO 7396-1 : 2016 'Medical gas pipeline systems - Part 1: Pipeline systems for compressed medical gases and vacuum' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Anaesthetic, Resuscitation and Allied Equipment Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.
This standard supersedes IS/ISO 7396-1 : 2007 'Medical gas pipeline systems - Part 1: Pipeline systems for compressed medical gases and vacuum'. The ISO standard has been revised in 2016 and first amendment published in 2017. This first revision has been taken up to align it with latest edition of ISO 7396-1 : 2016 and AMD 1 : 2017.
Amendment 1 published in 2017 to ISO 7396-1 : 2016 will be given at the end of this publication. The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
