ISO15848-1:2015(E) Introduction Theobjective of this part of ISo15848isto enable classification of performance of different designs and constructions of valves to reduce fugitive emissions. This part of ISo15848 defines type test for evaluation and qualification of valves where fugitive emissions standards are specified. The procedures of this partof ISO15848can only be used with the application of necessary precautions for testingwithflammable orinert gas at temperature and under pressure.
