(Main)Rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies for measured fuel dispensing systems - Specification
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements and test methods for verification for three types of hoses in two grades and two classes of hose assemblies used for measured fuel dispensing, including oxygenated fuels (up to a maximum of 15 % oxygenated compounds).
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 ).
As part of the certification of a new dispenser, testing of fuel samples in accordance with EN 228 and EN 590 should be carried out at least eight weeks after the first use of the equipment to avoid unrepresentative sulphur content results.

Overview
EN 1360:2013 is a CEN European standard that specifies minimum requirements and test methods for rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies used in measured fuel dispensing systems, including oxygenated fuels (up to 15% oxygenated compounds). It covers hose types, construction, performance (mechanical, thermal and electrical), dimensional tolerances and marking for assemblies intended to operate in ambient temperatures from −30 °C to +55 °C (normal) or −40 °C to +55 °C (low temperature class) at a working pressure ≤ 16 bar.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Classification
- Three hose types: Type 1 (textile reinforced), Type 2 (textile + helical wire) and Type 3 (fine wire).
- Two grades: M (metallic bonding wires) and Ω (conductive compound).
- Two temperature classes: Normal (−30 °C to +55 °C) and Low Temperature (LT) (−40 °C to +55 °C).
- Materials & construction
- Smooth fuel‑resistant lining (rubber or TPE), reinforcement per type, and non‑corrugated fuel/weather‑resistant cover.
- Electrical continuity required from coupling to coupling; metallic bonding wires (when used) must resist fatigue and corrosion.
- Pressure performance
- Max working pressure: 16 bar; Proof pressure: 24 bar; Minimum burst pressure: 48 bar.
- Dimensions & tolerances
- Standardised nominal bores and internal diameters, minimum lining thickness 1.6 mm, cover thickness 1.0 mm, concentricity ≤ 1.0 mm, and length tolerances (assembly ±1%).
- Physical & durability tests
- Low temperature resistance/flexibility, adhesion, fuel permeation, flammability, end‑fitting pull‑off, hydrostatic testing, fatigue under reversed bending, abrasion, ageing and resistance to fuels.
- Marking & documentation
- Hose, end fittings and assemblies must be marked to identify type, grade and relevant properties.
Applications and users
- Intended for fuel dispenser manufacturers, hose and fitting manufacturers, testing laboratories, forecourt equipment installers, fuel retailers and safety inspectors.
- Applies to applications such as petrol/diesel dispensing nozzles, forecourt retractable hoses, mobile fuel delivery and any measured fuel dispensing requiring proven fuel resistance, electrical continuity and low‑temperature performance.
Related standards
- Fuel sampling and fuel quality: EN 228, EN 590 (note: fuel testing after initial commissioning is recommended at least eight weeks after first use).
- Test and dimension standards commonly referenced: EN ISO 1402 (hydrostatic), EN ISO 4671 (dimensions), ISO 1817 (resistance to liquids), ISO 4649 (abrasion), and other EN/ISO methods listed in EN 1360:2013.
EN 1360:2013 is essential for compliance, safety and reliable performance of hoses used in modern fuel dispensing systems.
