What is it?: The following International Standards have completed their 5 year review. The UK voted to confirm except ISO 6554 where the vote was abstain due to lack of national expertise. The majority decision of the members of ISO TC153 was to confirm each standard. Comments were received from France, China and Canada.

5. ISO 7841:1988 “Automatic steam traps - Determination of steam loss - Test methods”
6. ISO 7842:1988 “Automatic steam traps - Determination of discharge capacity - Test methods”
Why is it important?: At its meeting on 2019-9-27 TC153 will discuss whether to revise these standards based on the comments received. The comments received are BSi Documents PSE/18_19_0053 to 0058.
