Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment,
as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 34,
Propulsion, powertrain, and powertrain fluids.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition (ISO 8535-1:2011), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
— inside diameter sizes 3,5 mm and 3,6 mm have been added to Table 1;
— code 5 and code 6 have been added to Table 4.
A list of parts in the ISO 8535 series can be found on the ISO website.
NOTE The first part of the general title, “Diesel engines”, is used for Part 1 only while for Part 2, “Compression-
ignition engines” is still used but will be replaced at the next revision.

Diesel engines — Steel tubes for high-pressure fuel
injection pipes —
Part 1:
Requirements for seamless cold-drawn single-wall tubes
1 Scope
This document specifies dimensions and requirements for seamless cold-drawn single-wall steel tubes
for high-pressure fuel injection pipes used on diesel (compression-ignition) engines (class 2) and for
fuel injection pump testing (class 1).
This document applies to diesel (compression-ignition) engines.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Dimensions and tolerances
4.1 Diameters
Recommended inside and outside diameters are given in Table 1. Other sizes may be used by agreement
between supplier and customer.
Tolerances on inside and outside diameters shall be as follows.
a) Inside diameter, d
d ≤ 4 mm: ±0,05 mm for class 2
   ±0,025 mm for class 1 (these tolerances are in accordance with ISO 4093)
d > 4 mm: ±0,10 mm
