Abstract
A valve for closing a container and for enabling the container to be filled has a housing () with an inlet port () and an outlet port (). A closing member () is provided for sealingly closing the valve at the inlet port (). At least one valve member () is provided for controlling fluid communication between the inlet port () and the outlet port (). The valve member only allows fluid communication when it is in a first position. The valve member () is designed in such a way that it is brought into and maintained in said first position only if a predetermined filling condition is achieved. The filling condition is typically achieved, when the filling pressure of a system for filling the container () is initially below a first predetermined or predeterminable threshold value.
