Annex 4B
2.6.2. The couplings shall be made from steel or brass and the surface shall be
corrosion-resistant.
2.6.3. The couplings shall be of the crimp-fitting type.
2.6.4. The couplings can be made as swivel-nut type or as quick-connector type.
2.6.5. It shall be impossible to disconnect the quick-connector type without specific
measures or the use of dedicated tools.
2.7. Assembly of hose and couplings
2.7.1. The construction of the couplings shall be such, that it is not necessary to
peel the cover unless the reinforcement of the hose consists of corrosion-
resistant material.
2.7.2. The hose assembly has to be subjected to an impulse test in compliance with
standard ISO 1436.
2.7.2.1. The test has to be completed with circulating oil having a temperature of 93
°C, and a minimum pressure of 1.5 times the maximum working pressure.
2.7.2.2. The hose has to be subjected to 150,000 impulses.
2.7.2.3. After the impulse-test the hose has to withstand the test pressure as
mentioned in paragraph 2.5.4.2. above.
2.7.3. Gas-tightness
2.7.3.1. The hose assembly (hose with couplings) has to withstand during five
minutes a gas pressure of 3 MPa without any leakage.
2.8. Markings
2.8.1. Every hose shall bear, at intervals of not greater than 0.5 m, the following
clearly legible and indelible identification markings consisting of characters,
figures or symbols.
2.8.1.1. The trade name or mark of the manufacturer.
2.8.1.2. The year and month of fabrication.
2.8.1.3. The size and type marking.
2.8.1.4. The identification-marking "CNG Class 1".
2.8.2. Every coupling shall bear the trade name or mark of the assembling
manufacturer.
3. Low pressure hoses, Class 2 classification
3.1. General specifications
3.1.1. The hose shall be so designed as to withstand a maximum working pressure
of 450 kPa.
3.1.2. The hose shall be so designed as to withstand temperatures as specified in
Annex 5O.
3.1.3. The inside diameter shall be in compliance with Table 1 of standard
ISO 1307.
3.2. (Not allocated)
3.3. Specifications and tests for the lining
