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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6118 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 2, Braking
systems and equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6118:1980), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6118:2006(E)
Road vehicles — Elastomeric cups and seals for cylinders for
hydraulic braking systems using a non-petroleum base
hydraulic brake fluid (service temperature 70 °C max.)
1Scope
This International Standard specifies performance tests of brake cups and seals for hydraulic braking systems
for road vehicles. It does not include requirements relating to chemical composition, tensile strength and
elongation of the rubber compound. Disc brake seals are not covered by this International Standard.
This International Standard is applicable to moulded seals (cups or double-lipped type gland seals), 60 mm in
diameter and smaller, compounded from rubber, for use in hydraulic actuating cylinders employing road vehicle
non-petroleum base hydraulic brake fluid conforming to the requirements of ISO 4925.
◦ ◦
NOTE The rubber used in these seals shall be suitable for operation in a temperature range of −40 C to +70 C.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.
