The application classes are indicated in ISO 15874 and ISO 15877 series.

This document specifies valve characteristics as follows:

• - dimensions for assembly in the relevant pipelines,
• - physical and mechanical requirements.

Other materials can fit the scope of this document if the application classes are specified in a material related specific standard.

Ball valves specified in this document are not intended to be used in conjunction with pipes made by metallic material and copper alloys
