Overview

ISO 19013-1 is an international standard published by ISO that specifies the requirements for rubber hoses and tubing used in fuel circuits, exclusively for diesel fuel systems in internal combustion engines. This standard addresses both conventional diesel and blends with biodiesel containing up to 20% methyl ester of rapeseed oil. The document ensures that rubber hoses and tubing used in diesel fuel circuits meet the necessary performance, safety, and quality specifications, including those for vehicles operating with biodiesel fuels.

This part of ISO 19013 series helps original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) specify appropriate tests and performance requirements for custom or specialized applications. The standard facilitates a consistent classification system and offers guidelines for type approval, routine, and production acceptance tests.

Keywords: ISO 19013-1, rubber hoses, rubber tubing, diesel fuel circuits, biodiesel hoses, internal combustion engine fuel lines, performance requirements, type approval, OEM classification.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application

  • Covers requirements for rubber hoses and tubing for diesel fuel circuits.
  • Includes systems using up to 20% biodiesel by volume.
  • Can be used as a classification system for custom OEM requirements.

• Classification and Types

  • Multiple types (1–4) and classes (A and B) based on pressure ratings and temperature ranges, suitable for various locations in the fuel system (e.g., feed lines, return lines, fuel filler and vent lines).
  • Types and classes are defined by their working pressure and temperature performance.

• Performance Requirements

  • Burst pressure and adhesion between layers.
  • Low-temperature flexibility and resistance to kinking.
  • Internal cleanliness, extractable waxy materials, and tear resistance.
  • Resistance to ozone, heat ageing, and various fuels (including biodiesel blends).
  • Electrical resistance and burn-through resistance.
  • Life-cycle testing for long-term durability.

• Marking and Traceability

  • Specifies mandatory markings, including manufacturer name, standard number, classification, diameter, fuel application, date code, and material recycling code.
  • OEMs may designate additional identification for custom applications.

Applications

• Automotive Manufacturing
  • Ensures that hoses and tubing used in diesel vehicle fuel systems, including vehicles using biodiesel blends, meet international quality and safety expectations.
• Fuel System Component Development
  • Guides testing and validation processes for new fuel circuit products.
• OEM Customization
  • Provides a framework for OEMs to specify detailed hose and tubing requirements for unique or unclassified applications.
• Maintenance and Supply Chain
  • Assists maintenance personnel and suppliers in identifying compliant hoses and tubing via standardized markings, supporting effective replacement and inventory control.

Related Standards

• ISO 188 – Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests for rubber.
• ISO 1402 – Hydrostatic testing of hoses and hose assemblies.
• ISO 1817 – Determination of the effect of liquids on rubber.
• ISO 7326 – Assessment of ozone resistance under static conditions.
• EN 14214 – Biodiesel fuel requirements (fatty acid methyl esters for diesel engines).
• SAE J2260 – Nonmetallic fuel system tubing.
• ISO 8031 – Determination of electrical resistance and conductivity of hoses.

These related standards help ensure that every facet of hose and tubing performance, from material compatibility and mechanical properties to environmental resistance and fuel exposure, is comprehensively addressed.

---

By adhering to ISO 19013-1, manufacturers and OEMs can ensure the reliability and safety of rubber hoses and tubing across various diesel fuel circuit applications, including those involving modern biodiesel blends. This results in improved product quality, regulatory compliance, and confidence for both industry and end users.

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
