Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies, wire- or textile-reinforced, for manually operated hydraulic jacks - Specification
ISO 16301 specifies the requirements for three classes of wire- or textile-reinforced hydraulic hoses and hose assemblies of nominal sizes ranging from 5 to 25. The hoses and hose assemblies are used in hydraulic jack applications with manually operated hand pumps. They are suitable for use with hydraulic fluids HH, HL, HM, HR and HV at temperature ranging from −40 °C to +55 °C. For tools that require heavy duty services such as a rescue tool, ISO 19718[3] applies. ISO 16301 does not include requirements for the connection ends. It is limited to the performance of hoses and hose assemblies. The maximum working pressure of hose assemblies is regulated by the lowest maximum working pressure of the components. NOTE 1 It is the responsibility of the user, in consultation with the hose manufacturer, to establish the compatibility of the hose with the fluid to be used. NOTE 2 There are two International Standards for hoses for hydraulic jacks and tool applications, i.e. ISO 16301 and ISO 19718. The comparison table is given in Annex A. NOTE 3 The classification of HH, HL, HM, HR and HV is found in ISO 6743-4[2].

Overview
ISO 16301:2017 specifies performance requirements for wire- or textile-reinforced rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies used with manually operated hydraulic jacks. It covers nominal hose sizes from 5 to 25 and defines three classes by maximum working pressure (70, 100 and 140 MPa expressed also as 700, 1 000 and 1 400 bar). The standard applies to hoses intended for hydraulic fluids classified HH, HL, HM, HR and HV (see ISO 6743-4) at operating temperatures from −40 °C to +55 °C. ISO 16301 is limited to hose and assembly performance - it does not specify connection end fittings.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Classification: Three pressure classes (70 / 100 / 140) and nominal sizes (5, 6.3, 8, 10, 12.5, 19, 25) with applicability per class.
- Grades: Electrical classification - Grade 1 (no electrical requirement) and Grade 2 (non-conductive; current ≤ 50 μA per Annex E).
- Materials & construction: Hoses must have a fluid‑resistant inner lining, steel‑wire or textile reinforcement layers, and an oil/abrasion/weather‑resistant cover. Grade 2 hoses must not be perforated. Anti‑kink protection at ends is recommended.
- Dimensions & tolerances: Inside/outside diameters, cover thickness (minimum 0.5 mm), and concentricity are specified (see tables in Clause 7 and ISO 4671 measurement method).
- Performance & tests: Hydrostatic testing, impulse resistance, leakage checks, cold bending, ozone resistance, change in length under pressure, minimum bend radius and electrical conductivity testing are defined (references include ISO 1402, ISO 6803, ISO 7326, ISO 10619 series).
- Safety & hazards: Identification of risks from bursting, connector failure, operator errors and length change under pressure; emphasis on correct selection and manufacturer consultation for fluid compatibility.
- Marking, testing frequency and documentation: Requirements for marking hoses/assemblies, test reports and production/test frequency (Annexes B–E).
Practical applications and target users
ISO 16301 is intended for:
- Hose and hose‑assembly manufacturers designing products for hydraulic jacks and manually operated pumps.
- Manufacturers of jacks, workshop equipment and service/tooling specifying hose performance and safety.
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors performing hydrostatic, impulse and electrical tests.
- Purchasing, maintenance and safety engineers who need to select compatible, safe hoses for industrial and maintenance jack applications. Practical benefits include improved safety, traceability (marking/test reports), and guidance on material selection and test regimes.
Related standards
- ISO 19718 - hoses for heavy‑duty tool applications (e.g., rescue tools).
- ISO 6743-4 - classification of hydraulic fluids (HH, HL, HM, HR, HV).
- Test and measurement standards referenced: ISO 1402, ISO 6803, ISO 7326, ISO 4671, ISO 10619 series, ISO 1817.

4 List of significant hazards
4.1 General
This clause contains some of the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are
dealt with in this document, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery and
which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk.
4.2 Hazards due to bursting or leaking of hoses
Hazards can occur when a hose bursts or leaks. The escaping stream of liquid can cause personal injury
or property damage.

4.3 Hazards due to failure of connectors
Hazards can occur when a connector fails. The escaping stream of liquid can cause physical damage
and also a sudden repositioning of the hose assembly in a dangerous manner (whip).
Figure 2 — Hazards due to failure of connectors
4.4 Hazards due to errors by the operator
Hazards can occur if the operator uses incompatible substances or incompatible components. Hazards
can also occur if the operator exceeds the limits of use specified by the manufacturer (e.g. too high
pressure, too high tensile stress), also pinhole caused by kink might result in a significant injury.
