EN16436 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for PVC hoses or rubber hoses and tubing used in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) installations for both stationary and mobile applications. The standard was introduced to ensure the safety and reliability of LPG hoses and to reduce the risk of gas leaks or accidents.

What is EN16436 Standard For LPG Hose?

The EN16436 standard covers various types of LPG hoses, including those made of PVC, rubber, thermoplastic, and composite materials. The standard specifies the performance requirements for these hoses, including their maximum working pressure, burst pressure, and minimum bending radius.

The standard also sets out testing procedures to be used to assess the quality and safety of LPG hoses, including tests for resistance to abrasion, ozone, and chemicals. In addition, the standard specifies requirements for the marking and packaging of LPG hoses.

It's worth noting that compliance with the EN16436 standard is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended by the LPG industry and regulatory bodies.
