scope:

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for three types of hoses in two categories and two classes of hose assemblies used for measured fuel dispensing, including oxygenated fuels (up to a maximum of 15 % oxygenated compounds). The assemblies are intended for use at ambient temperatures between -30 °C and +55 °C for normal temperature class and -40 °C and +55 °C for low temperature class at a working pressure ≤ 16 bar. As part of the certification of a new dispenser, testing of fuel samples in accordance with EN 228 and EN 590 should be carried out at least eight weeks after the first use of the equipment to avoid unrepresentative sulphur content results.
