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.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 8066-3:2020(E)
Rubber and plastics hoses and hose assemblies for
automotive air conditioning — Specification —
Part 3:
Refrigerant 1234yf
WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to
ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for rubber or thermoplastic hoses and hose assemblies
used for circulating liquid and gaseous R1234yf (tetrafluoropropene) in the air-conditioning systems
of automobiles. The hoses and hose assemblies are designed in such a way as to restrict losses of
refrigerant and contamination of the system. The operational temperature range is -40 °C to +125 °C.
Due to the critical relationship between the hose and coupling for this application, a requirement that
the coupling to be used in service be used for testing is laid down.2 Normative references

6 Testing and performance requirements
6.1 Test conditions
The testing room shall be kept at standard temperature in accordance with ISO 23529. The temperature
of the hoses or hose assemblies shall be stabilized for 24 h before testing.6.2 Leakage
6.2.1 Method A for Type test and Production test
When determined in accordance with the procedure given in 6.2.2, the loss in mass of refrigerant shall
be no greater than 10 % of the initial mass of the refrigerant and there shall be no visible deterioration
in the hoses or hose assemblies.6.2.2 Procedure for Method A
Test three test pieces. Fill each test piece with R1234yf containing (10 ± 1) % refrigerant compatible
lubrication oil. Maintain each test piece with the pressure listed in Table 2 for 24 h at a temperature of
80 °C ± 2 °C.This test can be carried out separately or during the 24 h pre-conditioning period for the refrigerant
loss test (see 6.3) at 80 °C ± 2 °C. When the test is carried out separately from 6.3, use the procedure
described in Annex A.6.2.2 Method B for Routine test
When determined in accordance with the procedure given in 6.2.4, there shall be no leak and no
visible deterioration in the hoses or hose assemblies. When pricked hose is tested, gas bubbles which
form on the surface of the hose and decrease gradually after pressurizing may be observed but not be
considered as leak.6.2.3 Procedure for Method B
Immerse the test assembly in the water bath. Apply gas (air or inert gases) pressure and maintain the
pressure listed in Table 2 for 5 min. Also, a gas leak detector, snoop liquid leak detector may be applied
to check leakage under the pressure listed in Table 2 for 5 min.© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 5

6.4.1 Requirement
When tested in accordance with 6.4.2, there shall be no leak and no cracks in a test hose or hose
assembly.6.4.2 Procedure
Wind a hose or hose assembly, of length between 300 mm and 1 000 mm, on to a mandrel having a
diameter eight times the outside diameter of the hose. Place the mandrel and hose or hose assembly in a
circulating-air oven for 168 h at 125 °C ± 2 °C.Take the mandrel and hose or hose assembly out of the oven, allow to cool to ambient temperature,
unwind the hose or hose assembly and examine it externally for any cracks, disintegration or other
defects. Then test the hose or hose assembly in accordance with the procedure given in 6.2.3 and 6.2.4.
6.5 Low-temperature testWhen tested in accordance with the method described in Annex B, there shall be no leak or loss due to
cracks or splits.6.6 Vacuum resistance
6.6.1 General
A hose or hose assembly shall be subjected, consecutively, to the vacuum test, then the length variation
test (6.7), then the burst test (6.8).6.6.2 Requirement
The decrease in the outside diameter of the hose shall not exceed 20 % of the initial outside diameter
and there shall be no obstruction of flow caused by the hose collapse when the hose or hose assembly
is subjected to a reduced internal pressure (vacuum) of 1,33 kPa ± 0,66 kPa (absolute) for 2 min in
accordance with 6.6.3.6 © ISO 2020 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 8066-3:2020(E)
6.6.3 Procedure
The test hose or hose assembly shall have a free length of from 610 mm to 1 000 mm. Bend the hose
into a U shape, whereby the internal radius of the base of the U shall be five times the mean outside
diameter of the hose. Measure the minor axis, d1, at the base of the U. Apply a vacuum of 1,33 kPa ± 0,66
kPa (absolute) to the bent hose for 2 min. At the end of this period and while the vacuum is still being
applied, measure the minor axis, d2 at the base of the U. The ratio of the decrease in outside diameter
shall be calculated as below.Ratio = (d1 – d2)/d1×100
6.7 Length change under pressure
6.7.1 Requirement
When subjected to a pressure listed in Table 2, a hose or hose assembly shall not contract by more than
4 % or extend by more than 2 %.6.7.2 Procedure
Subject the hose or hose assembly, in a horizontal position, to an internal hydrostatic pressure of 7 kPa
(0,07 bar) and measure the length. Increase the pressure to the prescribed value and measure the
length once again within the following minute. Express the length as a percentage of the length at 7 kPa
(0,07 bar).Refer to ISO 1402 for additional information.
6.8 Minimum bursting pressure
When determined in accordance with the method described in ISO 1402, using test pieces that have
been subjected to the test for refrigerant loss described in 6.3, the minimum bursting pressure shall be
