This standard specifies the requirements for three types of generalpurpose
textile-reinforced rubber water hose with an operating
temperature range of −25 °C to +70 °C and a maximum working
pressure of up to 25 bar. These hoses conforming to this standard are
not intended to be used for conveyance of potable (drinking) water, for
washing-machine inlets, as firefighting hoses, for special agricultural
machines or as collapsible water hoses. These hoses may be used with
additives which lower the freezing point of water.
