Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work o f 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 o f
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
di fferent types o f ISO documents should be noted. This document was dra fted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso .org/directives

aspects for gaseous fuels.
This first edition o f ISO 14469:2016 cancels and replaces the first edition o f ISO 14469-1:2004,
ISO 14469-2:2007 and ISO 14469-3:2006, which have been technically revised.
Introduction
This document was developed to use in the examination, testing and certification o f newly produced
compressed natural (CNG) gas vehicle fuelling nozzles and receptacles and, as such, applies only to the
nozzles and receptacles used in CNG fuelling systems, and not to the system itsel f.
A nozzle certified to this International Standard will be functionally compatible from a sa fety and
per formance perspective with all listed receptacles o f compatible profile and system pressure. Similarly,
a certified receptacle will be functionally compatible from a sa fety and per formance perspective with
all listed nozzles o f compatible profile and system pressure.
As there may eventually be many di fferent kinds o f nozzles and receptacles available from a variety
o f manu facturers which, for sa fety reasons, have to be all compatible with one another, this document
specifies a series o f receptacle profiles. These standard profiles incorporate the design specifications
(mating materials, geometry and tolerances) which may be considered in the certification o f a submitted
nozzle or receptacle.
The construction and performance of nozzles and receptacles are based on the observation that three
main parameters a ffect user sa fety and system compatibility.
a) Service pressure
All nozzles and receptacles are designed to have a service pressure of either 20 MPa (200 bar) for B200
and C200 connectors or 25 MPa (250 Bar) for B250 and C250 connectors.
b) Design life
Frequency o f use is the second parameter to be considered. Since frequency o f use will di ffer with the
nozzle/receptacle application (i.e. public sector, fleet employee and residential), all receptacles will be
tested at 10 000 connect/disconnect cycles for compliance with this document. In addition, all nozzles
will be tested according to the following frequency use classifications, as applicable:
— Class A Nozzle, speci fying high frequency use, with a cycle li fe o f 100 000 cycles and equating to
approximately 100 fills per day for three years;
— Class B Nozzle, speci fying medium frequency use, with a cycle li fe o f 20 000 cycles and equating to
approximately 10 fills per day for five years.
c) Training
Operator training required is in accordance with national requirements.

4.1 Nozzles and receptacles manufactured in accordance with this document shall be designed in
accordance with reasonable concepts o f safety, durability and maintainability.
4.2 Nozzles and receptacles shall be well fitted and manufactured in accordance with good engineering
practice. All construction requirements may be met by either the construction specified in this document
or another construction that gives at least equivalent performance.
4.3 Nozzles and receptacles shall be
— designed to minimize the possibility o f incorrect assembly,
— designed to be secure against displacement, distortion, warping or other damage, and
— constructed to maintain operational integrity under normal and reasonable conditions o f handling
and usage.
4.4 Nozzles and receptacles shall be manufactured of materials suitable and compatible for use with
CNG at the pressure and the temperature ranges to which they will be subjected (see Clause 1).
The minimum temperature range shall be selected by the manu facturer between the following ranges:
— 40 °C to 85 °C or 120°C as applicable;
— 20 °C to 85°C or 120 °C as applicable.
NOTE 1 The lower temperature limit depends on whether the component is to be used for mild or cold weather
NOTE 2 The high temperature limit depends on whether the component will be installed inside the engine
compartment (120°C) or outside of the engine compartment (85°C).
4.5 Nozzles and receptacles constructed o f brass shall use brass alloys with a copper mass
content ≤70 %. This will ensure proper material compatibility with all the constituents o f natural gas.

5 Nozzles
5.1 Nozzles shall be one o f the three types according to a), b) and c). See also Annex A.
a) Type 1 is a nozzle for use with dispensing hoses that remain fully pressurized at dispenser
shutdown.
The nozzle shall not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been achieved. The nozzle shall be
equipped with an integral valve or valves, incorporating an operating mechanism which first stops the
supply o f gas and sa fely vents the trapped gas be fore allowing the disconnection o f the nozzle from the
receptacle. The operating mechanism shall ensure that the vent valve is in the open position before the
release mechanism can be operated and that the gas located between the nozzle shut-off valve and the
receptacle check valve is sa fely vented prior to nozzle disconnection (see 10.2).
b) Type 2 is a nozzle for use with dispensing hoses that remain fully pressurized at dispenser
shutdown. A separate three-way valve connected directly, or indirectly, to the inlet o f the nozzle is
required to sa fely vent trapped gas prior to nozzle disconnection. The nozzle shall not permit the
flow o f gas i f unconnected. Venting is required prior to disconnection o f the nozzle (see 10.2).
c) Type 3 is a nozzle for use with dispensing hoses which are automatically depressurized — 0,5 MPa
(5 bar) and below — at dispenser shutdown (see 10.2).
In addition, nozzles shall be classified in terms o f cycle li fe as follows:
— Class A, speci fying high frequency use, with a cycle li fe o f 100 000;
— Class B, speci fying low frequency use, with a cycle li fe o f 20 000.
5.2 Venting or de-pressurization o f all nozzle types is required prior to disconnection. Disconnection
of all nozzles shall be able to be accomplished in accordance with 10.2.
5.3 The method for attaching the nozzle to the fuel dispensing system hose shall not rely on the joint
threads between the male and female threads for sealing (e.g. conical threads).
5.4 The three-way valve exhaust port o f Type 1 and Type 2 nozzles shall be protected from the ingress
o f foreign particles and fluid which would hamper the operation o f the valve.
5.5 The portions o f a nozzle which are held by the user for connection or disconnection may be
thermally insulated.
5.6 A Type 1 nozzle shall bear a marking indicating the direction o f the open and shut operation i f it
contains a rotating actuation mechanism.
5.7 The interface surface of the nozzle shall be constructed of material having a hardness >75 Rockwell
B (HRB 75) and shall be non-sparking and conductive (see 10.11.5 and 10.15).
The exposed surfaces of the nozzles shall be made of non-sparking materials (see 10.11.5 and 10.15).
5.8 Nozzles shall comply with the performance requirements o f Clause 10 to ensure interchangeability.
