What is ISO 19880-5 - Dispenser hoses and hose assemblies about?

ISO 19880-5 is the fifth part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to fuel stations.

ISO 19880-5 specifies the requirements for wire or textile reinforced hoses and hose assemblies suitable for dispensing hydrogen up to 70 MPa nominal working pressure, in the operating temperature range of −40 °C to 65 °C.

ISO 19880-5 contains safety requirements for material, design, manufacture and testing of gaseous hydrogen hose and hose assemblies for hydrogen fuelling stations.

Note-

Hoses and hose assemblies excluded from the scope of this document are the following:

Those used as part of a vehicle high-pressure on-board fuel storage system,
Those used as part of a vehicle low pressure fuel delivery system, and
Flexible metal hoses.

Who is ISO 19880-5 - Dispenser hoses and hose assemblies for?

ISO 19880-5 on dispenser hoses and hose assemblies is useful for:

Fuel stations
Automotive industry
Testing agencies
Manufacturers of dispenser hose
Supplier of dispenser hose

Why should you use ISO 19880-5 - Dispenser hoses and hose assemblies?

International harmonization contributes to reducing technical barriers and stimulates related markets. ISO 19880-5 addresses hydrogen-fuelled vehicles and fuelling stations are being developed. It will provide internationally homologized minimum safety performance criteria at the component level, thus providing a foundation to build a safe “fuelling system”.

ISO 19880-5 sets out safety requirements for material, design, manufacture and test methods for calculation of gaseous hydrogen hose and hose assemblies for hydrogen fuelling stations. This will help you for connecting a dispenser to a high-pressure fuelling nozzle.

Therefore, ISO 19880-5 allows you to achieve economies of scale by producing one product that can be used globally.
