This International Standard specifies the requirements for four types of textile-reinforced thermoplastics collapsible water hoses for general applications for use in the temperature range of −10°C to 55°C. Such hoses are classified into four types, as follows:
low pressure, designed for a maximum working pressure of up to 0,4MPa (4,0 bar) at 23°C and up to 0,2MPa (2,0 bar) at 55°C;
medium pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 0,7MPa (7,0 bar) at 23°C and up to 0,36MPa (3,6 bar) at 55°C;
high pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 1,0MPa (10,0 bar) at 23°C and up to 0,51MPa (5,1 bar) at 55°C;
extra-high pressure, for a maximum working pressure of up to 1,55MPa (15,5 bar) at 23°C and up to 0,79MPa (7,9 bar) at 55°C.
This International Standard does not apply to products used for fire-fighting or the conveyance of drinking water.
