ISO 13088:2011 specifies the minimum requirements for the filling conditions and filling inspection of acetylene cylinder bundles. It applies both to both bundles which are filled while the cylinders are assembled in the bundle and to bundles of which the cylinders are filled as individual cylinders and are assembled into a bundle after filling. It does not apply to bundles containing solvent-free acetylene cylinders.

ISO 13088:2011 is not applicable to individual acetylene cylinders that are not intended to be assembled into a bundle (see ISO 11372).
