Overview
FprEN ISO 8207 defines the specification for hose assemblies used in gas welding, cutting, and allied processes. Developed by CEN, and harmonized with ISO/FDIS 8207:2026, this international standard focuses on the performance and test requirements for assembled rubber hose assemblies, covering sizes up to nominal 20,0. The objective is to ensure safety, durability, and compatibility in gas welding equipment. Importantly, this standard does not apply to hose assemblies positioned upstream of gas regulators.
The standard is crucial for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of gas welding equipment who need to comply with the latest requirements regarding material quality, construction, and operational safety of hose assemblies.
Keywords: gas welding equipment, hose assemblies, rubber hoses, welding and cutting, test requirements, performance standards
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
- Covers assembled hose assemblies using rubber hoses as per ISO 3821, up to nominal size 20,0.
- Not applicable to assemblies upstream of gas regulators.
Construction and Materials
- Hoses must comply with ISO 3821; fittings must adhere to ISO 9539.
- Materials in contact with gas should be corrosion-resistant or protected against corrosion.
- Hose assemblies should not use greases or pastes in manufacturing.
- Hose tails must have smooth profiles to avoid damaging hoses and provide secure mounting.
Hose Assembly Design
- Hose must be securely attached to the hose tail using permanent ferrules or clamps.
- Detachable clips, such as worm drive clamps, are not permitted for safety reasons.
- Examples of kinking protection designs are provided to extend hose life.
Marking Requirements
- Each hose assembly must display the manufacturer's name or trademark and the standard reference (ISO 8207).
- Additional marking, such as assembly date, may be included for traceability.
Performance and Test Requirements
- Includes testing for gas tightness (ISO 9090), resistance to separation under pressure (three times maximum working pressure), and axial load resistance.
- Ensures that all hose assemblies do not separate from fittings or leak under specified operational conditions.
Applications
This standard is vital for industries employing gas welding, cutting, and similar processes, such as:
- Manufacturing and Fabrication: Ensures hose assemblies used in welding or cutting equipment meet stringent safety and quality benchmarks.
- Maintenance and Repair Operations: Guarantees that replacement hose assemblies perform reliably and safely.
- Gas Distribution and Equipment Suppliers: Assists in providing compliant, safe hose assemblies for end-users.
Adherence to FprEN ISO 8207 helps organizations minimize safety risks, prevent equipment failure, and assure compliance with national and international regulations related to gas welding equipment.

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.
