With all the interest in alternative fuel automobiles, ISO has been busy updating the ISO 15500 series on Road vehicles — Compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system components. The new 2012 Editions for this series are available now from Document Center Inc.
The ISO 15500 series covers compressed natural gas fuel system components, intended for use on the types of motor vehicles as defined in ISO 3833, “Road vehicles – Types – Terms and definitions.”
It is applicable to vehicles using natural gas in accordance with ISO 15403-1 and ISO/TR 15403-2 (mono-fuel, bi-fuel or dual-fuel applications). It is not applicable to the following:
a) liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel system components located upstream of, and including, the vaporizer;
b) fuel containers;
