STANAG 7175 GGS?C DEFINITION OF SAFETY ZONES AND MINIMUM SEPARATIONS DISTANCES FOR USE WITH LIQUID OXYGEN (LOX) RECOMMENDATION 1. AAGSP-11 provides detailed information on lubricants and materials for use in oxygen systems and oxygen rich environments. These topics are not directly linked to interoperability@ and thus do not require firm commitment by nations. Nevertheless@ the information presented hereafter is recommended to be used to the maximum extent possible. 2. It is not advisable to establish a particular material??s suitability for use in oxygen systems based solely on one test; the material??s specific application and the potential for ignition should be taken into consideration. 3. If standardization is to be accomplished@ it would have to be based on chemical composition@ qualification testing@ and intended application. Nations provided trade names of their lubricants; however@ little information has been made available on chemical compositions and intended applications. A requirement to use qualified lubricants for specific oxygen applications must be established and observed.
