RECOMMENDATION

1. AAGSP-11 provides detailed information on lubricants and materials for use in oxygen systems and oxygen rich environments. These topics are not directly linked to interoperability, and thus do not require firm commitment by nations. Nevertheless, the information presented hereafter is recommended to be used to the maximum extent possible.

2. It is not advisable to establish a particular material's suitability for use in oxygen systems based solely on one test; the material's specific application and the potential for ignition should be taken into consideration.

3. If standardization is to be accomplished, it would have to be based on chemical composition, qualification testing, and intended application. Nations provided trade names of their lubricants; however, little information has been made available on chemical compositions and intended applications. A requirement to use qualified lubricants for specific oxygen applications must be established and observed.
