API / ISO Gas-Lift Related Specifications

• Within the API process revision and refinements to

the gas-lift related standards are ongoing work

• Published ISO standards remain available, however,

they are not actively updated.

• Standards previously “co-branded” with ISO are

expected to lose that branding after API revisions are

implemented.

• When a Standard was originated by ISO, the status is

considered on a case-by case basis.

• Referencing ISO specifications is acceptable,

however, preference is to use API wherever possible.
