This International Standard specifies the requirements for general-purpose textile-reinforced thermoplastics water-discharge hoses.
Three types of hose are specified according to their operating duty requirements, i.e. their ambient and water temperature ranges:
NOTE At water temperatures above 23°C and particularly above 40°C, the maximum working pressure will be reduced.
These hoses are not intended to be used for conveyance of potable (drinking) water, for washing-machine inlets, as fire-fighting hoses, for special agricultural machines or as gardening hoses for the consumer market.
