Correspondence The European standard EN ISO 15848-2:2015 has the status of French standard
and reproduces in full the international standard ISO 15848-2:2015.
Summary This document specifies the production acceptance tests for valves whose design
has been subjected to successful type testing according to NF EN ISO 15848-1.
It specifies test procedures for the evaluation of external leakage of valve stems
(or shafts) and body joints of isolating valves and control valves intended for
application with volatile air pollutants and hazardous fluids.
The first part defines a type test for the assessment and qualification of these same
valves.

Modifications With respect to the replaced document, the main modifications are the following:
— the sealing classes of stem sealing devices (Table 1) have been revised;
— if the reading exceeds the values of the sealing class (Table 1), the test shall be
considered non-successful, and a corrective action must be proposed.

Standards
Standards are designed to serve as a basis in relations between economic, scientific, technical and social
partners.
By nature, application of a standard is voluntary. When stipulated in a contract, it is binding on the parties.
Legislation may require all or part of a standard to become compulsory.
The standard is a document defined by consensus within a standardisation body involving representatives
of all stakeholders. It is submitted for public consultation prior to adoption.
The standard is regularly reviewed to assess its appropriateness over time.
Any standard is considered to be effective as from the date presented on the first page.
Understanding standards
The reader's attention is drawn to the following points:
Only the verbal form shall is used to express one or more requirements that shall be satisfied in order to
comply with this document. Such requirements may be contained in the body of the standard or in a so-called
"normative" annex. For test methods, the use of the imperative corresponds to a requirement.
Expressions involving the verbal form should are used to express a possibility that, while preferred, is not
actually necessary in order to comply with this document. The verbal form may is used to express practical,
but not mandatory advice or suggestions, or permission.
Furthermore, this document may provide additional information aimed at making certain elements easier to
understand or use, or at clarifying how such elements are applied, but without actually defining a requirement.
These elements are presented as notes or informative annexes.
Standardisation commission
Acting within a given field of activity, a standardisation commission features the necessary expertise for
preparing French standards and defining France's positions in European and international draft standards.
The commission may also prepare experimental standards and technical reports.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see [Link]/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see [Link]/patents).

to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 153, Valves, Subcommittee SC 1, Design,
manufacture, marking and testing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15848-2:2006) which has been technically
revised. The main changes are the following:
— tightness classes (Table 1) are the following: A: 50 ppmv; B: 100 ppmv; C: 200 ppmv
— if the reading exceeds the values of the required tightness class according to Table 1 or Table 2,
the test is considered as having failed. Then, a corrective action is proposed and agreed with the
purchaser or the lot of valves is rejected.

Part 2:
Production acceptance test of valves
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15848 specifies test procedures for the evaluation of external leakage of valve stems
or shafts and body joints of isolating valves and control valves intended for application with volatile air
pollutants and hazardous fluids.
End connection joints, vacuum application, effects of corrosion, and radiation are excluded from this
part of ISO 15848.
The production acceptance test is intended for standard production valves where fugitive emissions
standards are specified.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 15848-1 and the following
apply.
3.1
production acceptance test
test carried out on production valves to verify conformance with the requirements of this part of
ISO 15848
4 Preparation of test valves
4.1 Valve selection
The sampling percentage shall be subject to an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser,
with a minimum of one valve of the lot, and shall be selected at random from each production lot of
valves per valve type, pressure class, and nominal size.
4.2 Preconditioning
This part of ISO 15848 is applicable to valves, the design of which has been successfully type-tested
according to ISO 15848-1. The selected valves shall have been successfully tested according to the
relevant production test standards and the purchaser’s specifications, prior to the acceptance test
specified in this part of ISO 15848.

ISO 15848-2:2015(E)
The packing shall be dry before production test.
4.3 Stem (or shaft) seal adjustment
Compression of stem (or shaft) seal(s) shall be initially adjusted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
5 Test conditions
5.1 Test fluid
The test fluid shall be helium gas with a minimum purity of 97 % by volume.
5.2 Leakage measurement
Leakages shall be measured by sniffing method in accordance with ISO 15848-1:2015, Annex B, and
shall be expressed in ppmv.
5.3 Test pressure
The test pressure shall be 6 bar (1 bar = 0,1 MPa = 105 Pa; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm2), unless otherwise agreed
by the manufacturer and the purchaser.
5.4 Test temperature
The test temperature shall be at room temperature as defined in ISO 15848-1.
6 Test procedure and evaluation of test results
6.1 Measurement of stem (or shaft) seal leakages
The procedure for measuring the leakage of stem or shaft seals is as follows.
a) Half open the test valve and pressurize to the level specified in 5.3. Measure the stem seal leakage
using the sniffing method in accordance with ISO 15848-1:2015, Annex B.
b) Then, fully open and close the pressurized test valve five times.
c) Half open the test valve after the mechanical cycles and measure the stem seal leakages as in a).
d) If the reading exceeds the values of the required tightness class according to Table 1, the test shall
be considered as having failed. A corrective action shall be proposed and agreed with the purchaser
or the lot of valves shall be rejected.

The procedure for measuring the leakage of body seals is as follows.
a) Half open the test valve and pressurize to the level specified in 5.3. After the test pressure has been
stabilized, detect leakage of the body seal(s) in accordance with ISO 15848-1:2015, Annex B.
b) If the reading exceeds the value of the required tightness class according to Table 2, the test shall be
considered as having failed. A corrective action shall be proposed and agreed with the purchaser or
the lot of valves shall be rejected.
