oSIST prEN 1762:2026 is the Slovenian publication of draft European Standard prEN 1762 from CEN, issued by SIST. It specifies rubber hoses and hose assemblies for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in liquid or gaseous phase and natural gas up to 25 bar, including vacuum use, and it covers construction, dimensions, physical and electrical properties, test methods, and marking.
What does oSIST prEN 1762:2026 specify?
oSIST prEN 1762:2026 specifies the requirements for rubber hoses and rubber hose assemblies used to transfer LPG and natural gas within the stated pressure and temperature range. The document is organized into 11 clauses that move from scope and terminology through classification, construction, dimensions, performance, testing, and marking.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| A | Normative flammability test method, including the test arrangement and assessment |
| B | Normative test frequency for type tests and routine tests |
| C | Informative recommended frequency for production acceptance tests |
| D | Informative environmental checklist across the life cycle |
For a buyer or engineer, this structure matters because it shows where to look for product selection, verification, and traceability requirements. Clause 4 identifies the hose type and electrical grade, Clauses 5 to 8 set the design and performance criteria, and Clause 11 shows the marking that must remain on the product.
What are the key requirements of oSIST prEN 1762:2026?
Product types and electrical grades
oSIST prEN 1762:2026 classifies hoses and hose assemblies into five types and three electrical grades. The types cover delivery service, low-temperature delivery, suction and delivery service with helix reinforcement, a smooth low-temperature suction and delivery hose, and a rough-bore low-temperature suction and delivery hose.
This classification matters in practice because the hose has to match both the service condition and the way static electricity is handled. The electrical grade determines whether the hose is electrically bonded, electrically conductive through a conductive rubber layer, or electrically discontinuous at the assembly level.
Materials and construction
Clause 5 requires a lining resistant to n-pentane, reinforcement made from textile layers or stainless steel wire, and a cover made from black or coloured synthetic rubber with resistance to abrasion and outdoor exposure. Some types also use an embedded stainless steel helix, and the grade M construction uses low-resistance bonding wires.
This is important because the document ties the hose design to the chemicals, weathering, and static safety demands of LPG and natural gas service. It also prohibits chlorinated materials in contact with stainless steel, which is a practical compatibility rule for long-term durability.
Dimensions and workmanship
Clause 6 controls the nominal bores, internal and outside diameters, tolerances, minimum bend radius, lining and cover thickness, concentricity, and length tolerances. It also notes when the usual outside-diameter limits do not apply, such as hoses with built-in couplings.
For users, this is the clause that helps confirm whether a hose will physically fit the installation and bend safely without damage. It also gives the dimensional checks that inspectors and production staff use to confirm consistent manufacture.
Physical performance of compounds, hoses, and assemblies
Clause 7 first checks the rubber compounds used for lining and cover, then checks the finished hose and hose assembly. The compound tests cover tensile properties, abrasion resistance, ageing, resistance to n-pentane, and permeation behaviour where the cover is not pricked.
The finished-product tests cover proof pressure, burst pressure, change in length and twist, vacuum resistance for the suction-and-delivery types, adhesion between components, ozone resistance, low-temperature flexibility, flammability, and deformation at minimum bend radius. In practice, this tells a user that the hose must survive pressure cycling, cold handling, vacuum exposure, and service ageing without losing integrity.
Electrical safety requirements
Clause 8 sets out the electrical resistance and continuity rules for bonded, conductive, and discontinuous constructions. It explains how bonding wires, conductive rubber layers, metallic fittings, and insulating layers are used to achieve the required electrical behaviour.
This matters because LPG service needs controlled static discharge behaviour. The clause also states that certain wire-helix reinforced types need a full-length anti-static wire for conductivity, and that electrical continuity has to remain after hydrostatic testing.
Type testing, routine testing, and marking
Clauses 9 and 10 separate design verification from ongoing production control. Type tests prove that the design and materials meet the document, and they are repeated at least every five years or after changes in design, manufacture, or materials; routine tests are done on a production-lot basis, with Annex B setting the frequency.
Clause 11 requires continuous marking on the hose outer cover with the manufacturer identification, document number, type, nominal bore, maximum working pressure, electrical conductivity symbol, and quarter and year of manufacture. Hose assemblies with separate fittings also need the assembler identification and assembly date, which helps traceability after installation or inspection.
What terms does oSIST prEN 1762:2026 define?
- Electrically bonded hose/hose assembly - A hose or assembly that uses a metallic wire connection to conduct static electricity.
- Electrically conductive hose/hose assembly - A hose or assembly that conducts static charges through a conductive rubber layer, without a metallic wire.
- Electrically discontinuous hose/hose assembly - A hose or assembly that connects a metallic wire to one end fitting only, or is insulated from both end fittings.
- Grade M - The electrical grade for a hose or assembly made electrically bonded by low-resistance wire connections.
- Grade Ω - The electrical grade for a hose or assembly made electrically conductive through a conductive rubber layer.
- Type SD-LTR - A low-temperature suction and delivery hose with rough bore and an internal, non-embedded stainless steel helical wire.
- Type D-LT - A low-temperature delivery hose for the same LPG and natural gas service range.
Who uses oSIST prEN 1762:2026?
oSIST prEN 1762:2026 is used by hose manufacturers, hose-assembly makers, and quality-control teams that need to design, test, and mark products for LPG and natural gas transfer. It is also used by test laboratories, purchasers, and technical specifiers who need to check that the hose type, electrical grade, dimensions, and test evidence match the intended service.
What changed in oSIST prEN 1762:2026 from the previous edition?
oSIST prEN 1762:2026 will supersede EN 1762:2018. The foreword states these changes compared with EN 1762:2018:
- extension of the lining material
- additional dimensions added in Table 1 and Table 2
- revision of routine tests
- removal of the requirement to include the year of publication in the marking
- water added as a test fluid in Annex A

comparative measurement of permeation between the rubber materials of cover and lining
shall be carried out, see Table 3, item 6;

5.2 Hose assemblies
Hose assemblies shall incorporate metallic fittings attached to the hose by the assembler or built
in by the manufacturer. In order to produce the required electrical properties, the fittings should
be attached in accordance with Clause 8.
Chlorinated materials shall not be used in contact with any stainless steel materials.
6 Dimensions
6.1 Nominal bore, internal diameters, outside diameters, tolerances, and minimum
bend radius
For hoses without built-in couplings, and when measured in accordance with method A of
EN ISO 4671, the internal diameter and outside diameter and their tolerances shall conform to
Table 1 or Table 2, depending on the type.
For hoses with built-in couplings, the outside diameters in Tables 1 and 2 do not apply.
