This document describes a method for determining the resistance of cryogenic spill protection systems (CSP) to cryogenic spills. It is applicable when CSP systems are installed on carbon steel and in contact with cryogenic liquids. Liquid nitrogen is used as the cryogenic medium because it has a lower boiling point than liquid natural gas or liquid oxygen. In addition, it can be safely used in experiments. Future parts of the standard will address the vapor phase and exposure to high pressure blasting conditions. The testing laboratory is responsible for conducting an appropriate risk assessment in accordance with local regulations to examine the impact of exposure to liquid and gaseous nitrogen on equipment and personnel.
