Revision of IMO requirement

TheMarineSafetyCommitteeapprovedamendmentstoparagraph1.2.4oftheRevisedstandardsfor design,testingandlocatingofdevicesto
preventthepassageofflameintocargotanksintankers (MSC/Circ.677),asfollows:

"1.2.4 Devices should be tested and located in accordance with these standards. In addition to these standards,
pressure/vacuumvalvesshouldcomplywithISOstandard15364:2000"Shipsand marinetechnologyPressure/vacuumvalvesfor
cargotanks".

The ISO standard requires that valves are fitted with a device to indicate its position. And, the Maritime Safety Committee
agreed that this does not mean an indicator has to be fitted but that the position of the valveshouldbevisuallyunderstoodin
anyway.

Purpose

NEWISOHVserieshigh velocity pressure / vacuum valve is designed to prevent the flame passage into
cargo tanks and to relieve excessive over pressure or under vacuum of cargo tanks during cargo loading,
discharging, ballastingandthermalvariations.

submerging under the sea water due to rolling, pitching and stranding, this valve is designed to prevent
