Foreword
The establishment of the ISO 15156 Maintenance Agency was confirmed by the ISO Technical
Management Board in June 2007. A copy of the TMB Vote-Form Number: 34/2007 giving the rules of
procedure for the maintenance agency can be obtained from the ISO TMB Secretariat. It is also available
from the ISO 15156 website at www.iso.org/iso15156maintenance.
ISO 15156 series has, since publication, been amended by a number of Technical Corrigenda and
Technical Circulars and consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and natural gas
industries — Materials for use in H2S-containing environments in oil and gas production:
Part 2: Cracking-resistant carbon and low alloy steels, and the use of cast irons (2020)
As applicable, subsequent publications resulting in new editions of an individual part of ISO 15156,
effectively replace the corresponding set of documents shown above. Information on the latest status of
these documents can be obtained from www.iso.org/iso15156maintenance.

Bolting that can be exposed directly to a sour environment, or that is buried, insulated, equipped with
flange protectors or otherwise denied direct atmospheric exposure or direct open seawater exposure,
shall conform to the general requirements of A.2.1.
Designers and users should be aware that it can be necessary to lower equipment pressure ratings
when using SSC-resistant bolting and fasteners. The use of SSC-resistant bolting and fasteners with API
flanges shall be in accordance with API Specification 6A or ISO 10423.
