The work of 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 1o be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental in liaison with 1SO, also take part in the work, ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization, Intemational Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 ‘The main task of technical committees is to prepare Internationat Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees ae circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibilty that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall nat be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. 180 13709 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Pumps, Subcommittee SC 3, installation and special application, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore Structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, SC 6, Processing equipmont and systems. ‘This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (|SO 13709:2003), which has been technically revised,
