Overview
The oSIST prEN 1762:2026 standard, developed by CEN/TC 218, specifies stringent requirements for rubber hoses and hose assemblies used in the transfer of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) – both liquid and gaseous phases – and natural gas under pressures up to 25 bar (2.5 MPa). Applicable within a temperature range of −30 °C to +70 °C, and extended down to −50 °C for -LT (low temperature) designated hoses, this specification ensures safety, durability, and performance for critical gas transfer applications.
This European Standard supersedes EN 1762:2018 and incorporates important updates such as expanded lining materials, revised test protocols, and enhanced marking requirements. The oSIST prEN 1762:2026 is essential guidance for manufacturers, distributors, and end users of LPG and natural gas rubber hoses operating under strict safety and quality controls.
Key Topics
Scope and Classification
Hoses covered by oSIST prEN 1762:2026 are classified into five types based on application and construction:- D (delivery hose)
- D-LT (delivery hose, low temperature)
- SD (suction and delivery, helix reinforced)
- SD-LTS (smooth suction and delivery, helix reinforced, low temperature)
- SD-LTR (rough bore suction and delivery, helix reinforced, low temperature)
Additionally, hoses are graded by electrical properties into:
- M (electrically bonded via metallic wire)
- Ω (electrically conductive with a conductive rubber layer)
- Discontinuous (electrically insulated or bond at one fitting end only)
Materials and Construction
The hose structure includes an n-pentane resistant lining, robust textile or stainless steel wire reinforcement, and an abrasion- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. Screw and hose assembly fittings must adhere to electrical continuity requirements and avoid chlorinated materials that could degrade stainless steel components.Dimensions and Physical Characteristics
oSIST prEN 1762:2026 precisely defines internal and external diameter tolerances, minimum bend radii, lining and cover thicknesses (minimum 1.6 mm), and hose concentricity ensuring reliable mechanical performance and safe operation with LPG and natural gas.Testing and Marking
The standard mandates hydrostatic testing, vacuum resistance, abrasion tests, electrical conductivity tests, and flammability assessments, including water as a test fluid to simulate real-world conditions. Marking of hoses and assemblies includes essential identification details to maintain traceability and compliance, excluding the year of publication as per recent updates.
Applications
oSIST prEN 1762:2026-compliant rubber hoses are critical components in:
- LPG delivery and refilling stations
- Natural gas transfer in industrial and commercial facilities
- Fuel loading and unloading systems involving liquid or gaseous propane and butane
- Applications requiring low-temperature flexibility as low as −50 °C under the -LT designation
- Systems demanding tailored electrical safety features to prevent static discharge during gas transfer
The high-quality, standardized hoses ensure safe and efficient operation in environments exposed to mechanical stress, temperature variations, and potential chemical exposure from hydrocarbons.
Related Standards
To achieve compliance and harmonized quality, reference is made to complementary standards, including:
- EN ISO 1402 – Hydrostatic testing of rubber and plastics hoses and assemblies
- EN ISO 4671 – Measurement of hose dimensions
- EN ISO 8031 & 8033 – Electrical resistance and component adhesion testing
- ISO 37 – Tensile strength and elongation properties for rubber compounds
- ISO 188 – Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests
- EN ISO 10619-1 & 10619-2 – Flexibility and stiffness tests at ambient and sub-ambient temperatures
These related international standards provide detailed methodologies essential for validating the safety, dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity aspects required by oSIST prEN 1762:2026.
By adhering to oSIST prEN 1762:2026, manufacturers and users ensure that rubber hoses and hose assemblies deliver reliable, compliant, and safe solutions for handling LPG and natural gas at pressures up to 25 bar, fostering operational safety and product longevity in diverse industrial and commercial environments.
