ISO 10524-1:2018规定了压力调节器（定义见3.18）的设计、结构、型式试验和标记要求，这些压力调节器用于在治疗、管理、诊断评估和护理患者时使用医用气体及其混合物，或用于驱动外科工具的气体。 气体的例子包括氧气、医用空气和氧气/一氧化二氮混合物。 ISO 10524-1:2018适用于压力调节器: a） 拟由操作员连接至气瓶； b） 带有整体式流量计量装置，由操作员连接至气缸； c） 是医疗设备不可分割的一部分（例如麻醉工作站、肺呼吸机、复苏器）。 压力调节器可配备压力出口或流量出口，并可调节或预设。 压力调节器拟安装在工作压力高达30 000 kPa（300 bar）的可再充装气瓶上，并可配备控制和测量输送的医用气体流量的装置。

ISO 10524-1:2018 specifies the design, construction, type testing, and marking requirements for pressure regulators (as defined in 3.18) intended for the administration of medical gases and their mixtures in the treatment, management, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients or for gases used for driving surgical tools. Examples of gases include oxygen, medical air and oxygen/nitrous oxide mixtures. ISO 10524-1:2018 applies to pressure regulators: a) intended to be connected to cylinders by the operator; b) with integral flow-metering devices intended to be connected to cylinders by the operator; c) that are an integral part of medical equipment (e.g. anaesthetic workstations, lung ventilators, resuscitators). A pressure regulator can be provided with pressure outlet or flow outlet, and can be adjustable or pre-set. pressure regulators are intended to be fitted to refillable cylinders with a working pressure up to 30 000 kPa ( 300 bar) and can be provided with devices which control and measure the flow of the medical gas delivered.
