European foreword
This document (EN 13483:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 218 “Rubber and
plastics hoses and hose assemblies”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2023, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2023.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13483:2013.
In comparison with EN 13483:2013, the following changes have been made:
a) the normative references have been updated;
b) in 7.3 the concentricity tolerance has been narrowed from 1,0 mm to 0,7 mm;
c) in Table 4 the “Low temperature class” has been increased from 18 ml to 22 ml;
d) Clause 9 “End fittings” has been amended so that mechanically suitable, conductive plastics may be
used as an alternative to metallic materials;
e) the document has been aligned with the 2017 issue of the guidance document prepared by
ISO/TC 45/SC 1 on the layout of ISO and CEN standards on rubber and plastics hoses and hose
assemblies (most notably with respect to Clause 11 “Frequency of testing”, Clause 12 “Marking”, and
the pressure units used);
f) informative Annex N concerning environmental aspects has been added.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United

Introduction
WARNING — Persons using this document are assumed to be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is
the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure
compliance with any national regulatory conditions.
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements and test methods for verification for hose assemblies with
vapour recovery for delivery systems on petrol filling stations.
Hoses can be constructed from rubber or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and this document specifies the
requirements for three types of hoses in two grades and two classes of hose assemblies for measured fuel
dispensing systems, including oxygenated fuels (≤15 % oxygenated compounds) with internal vapour
recovery tubing or hose made out of rubber or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
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 .
This document is not applicable to multi chamber fuel dispensing hoses.
NOTE As part of the certification of a new dispenser, testing of fuel samples in accordance with EN 228 is
carried out at least eight weeks after the first use of the equipment to avoid unrepresentative sulphur content
results.
