Overview

ISO 7967-8:2005 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides standardized terminology and definitions related to the starting systems for reciprocating internal combustion engines. This document forms Part 8 of the comprehensive ISO 7967 series, which addresses the vocabulary of components and systems associated with reciprocating internal combustion engines. The consistent use of these terms enhances clarity and communication among manufacturers, engineers, and industry stakeholders, supporting the design, integration, and maintenance of engine starting systems.

Key Topics

ISO 7967-8:2005 covers a range of concepts central to starting systems for reciprocating internal combustion engines. Its key focal areas include:

  • Definitions of Starting System Components: Establishes clear terms for manual and automatic starting systems, including hand cranks, rope starters, recoil starters, and spring starting devices.
  • Types of Starting Systems: Describes both manual (e.g., hand, rope, kick) and automatic (e.g., electric, pneumatic, hydraulic) starting mechanisms.
  • Supporting Components: Defines auxiliary elements such as starting air valves, air reservoirs, starter motors, glow plugs, decompression devices, and intake air heaters.
  • Functional Relationships: Presents the relationships and operational sequences between different types of starting systems and their components.
  • Starting Aids: Includes terms for devices and methods that facilitate easier engine ignition, like ether injection and preheating technologies.

Applications

The vocabulary and terminology set forth in ISO 7967-8:2005 are essential for several practical applications:

  • Engine Development and Manufacturing: Enables designers, engineers, and manufacturers to communicate unambiguously throughout the development and production of reciprocating internal combustion engines and their starting systems.
  • Technical Documentation and Training: Assists writers and instructors in preparing manuals, technical publications, and training materials with accurate and internationally recognized terms.
  • Maintenance and Service: Supports maintenance professionals in troubleshooting and servicing by standardizing the language used for engine starting systems across different engine types and applications.
  • Procurement and Supply Chain: Helps procurement specialists, suppliers, and OEMs specify requirements with precise vocabulary, reducing misunderstandings and ensuring correct parts integration.
  • Regulatory Compliance and Product Certification: Aids in ensuring that documentation and communication with regulatory bodies comply with recognized international standards.

By standardizing these terms, ISO 7967-8:2005 improves interoperability, safety, and efficiency across a wide spectrum of industries that rely on reciprocating internal combustion engines, such as automotive, marine, power generation, and construction equipment.

Related Standards

ISO 7967-8:2005 functions as part of a series addressing the entire vocabulary for reciprocating internal combustion engines. For comprehensive understanding and wider context, the following related standards are recommended:

  • ISO 7967-1: Structure and external covers
  • ISO 7967-2: Main running gear
  • ISO 7967-3: Valves, camshaft drive and actuating mechanisms
  • ISO 7967-4: Pressure charging and air/exhaust gas ducting systems
  • ISO 7967-5: Cooling systems
  • ISO 7967-6: Lubricating systems
  • ISO 7967-7: Governing systems
  • ISO 7967-9: Control and monitoring systems
  • ISO 2710 (all parts): Reciprocating internal combustion engines - Vocabulary (for general engine terms and classification)

Adopting ISO 7967-8:2005 and its companion standards ensures consistent and accurate technical communication in the global engine industry.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7967-8 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 70, Internal combustion engines, in collaboration
with experts from ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7967-8:1994), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 7967 consists of the following parts, under the general title Reciprocating internal combustion engines —
Vocabulary of components and systems:

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
