This European Standard specifies the dimensions, construction and requirements for four types of hoses and hose assemblies for use in all operations associated with the ground fuelling and de-fuelling of aircraft. All four types of hose are designed for: a) use with petroleum fuels, having an aromatic hydrocarbon content not exceeding 30 % by volume; b) operation within the temperature range of -30 °C to +65 °C and are to be undamaged by climatic conditions of -40 °C to +70 °C when stored in static conditions; c) operating up to 20 bar maximum working pressure, including surges of pressure which the hose can be subjected to in service.
