ISO 15848 Certification

ISO 15848 is a certification related to fugitive emissions from industrial valves. It focuses on minimizing leaks of hazardous fluids or volatile air pollutants, ensuring compliance with various emission standards.

What it is

ISO 15848-1 and -2 are international standards that specify test procedures for evaluating the external leakage of industrial valves.

Why it matters:

ISO 15848 certification verifies a valve’s ability to prevent fugitive emissions, which are uncontrolled releases of gases or fluids from equipment.

What it covers:

The standard covers isolating valves and control valves, focusing on leakage from stem seals and body joints.

Testing

ISO 15848-1 provides procedures for type testing to evaluate valve performance, while ISO 15848-2 out-lines procedures for production acceptance testing.

Benefits:

Valves certified to ISO 15848 demonstrate high fugitive emission performance, leading to improved safety, health, and environmental compliance.

Global satandard:

It is considered a comprehensive fugitive emission standard, ensuring compliance with numerous global requirements.
