scope:

This document specifies CNG refuelling nozzles and receptacles constructed entirely of new and unused parts and materials, for road vehicles powered by compressed natural gas. A CNG refuelling connector consists of, as applicable, the receptacle and its protective cap (mounted on the vehicle) and the nozzle.

This document is applicable only to such devices designed for a service pressure of 20 MPa (200 bar) and 25 MPa (250 bar), to those using CNG according to ISO 15403-1 and ISO 15403-2 and having standardized mating components, and to connectors that prevent natural gas vehicles from being fuelled by dispensers with service pressures higher than that of the vehicle, while allowing them to be fuelled by dispensers with service pressures less than or equal to the vehicle fuel system service pressure.

This document refers to service pressures of 20 MPa and 25 MPa for:

- size 1: B200 and B250;

- size 2: C200 and C250.

NOTE All references to pressures, given in megapascals and bar¹⁾ are considered gauge pressures, unless otherwise specified.

1) (1 bar = 0,1 MPa = 105 Pa; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm²)
