Foreword
This European Standard (EN 14585-1:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 342 “Metal
hoses, hose assemblies, bellows and expansion joints”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by July 2006.

This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s) 97/23/EC
[1].

For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this European
Standard.

This standard provides one means of conforming to the related essential requirements.

This standard has been produced to address the specific needs of corrugated metal hose assemblies for
pressure applications using, and when necessary supplementing, the requirements of EN ISO 10380
“Pipework – Corrugated metal hoses and hose assemblies” which is the base standard for hoses and hose
assemblies for general purposes.

This standard consists of 2 parts:

⎯ EN 14585-1 “Corrugated metal hose assemblies for pressure applications – Part 1 – Requirements”;

⎯ prCEN/TR 14585-2 “Corrugated metal hose assemblies for pressure applications – Part 2 – Guidance for
the use of conformity assessment procedures”.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Introduction
The requirements of this standard concern designers, manufacturers, suppliers and importers of corrugated
metal hose assemblies for pressure application.

The unique nature of a corrugated metal hose assembly is characterised:

⎯ by the interactive role of its pressure bearing parts: corrugated metal hose, braid, fittings and its
permanent joints;

⎯ and by the opposing requirements of pressure resistance and flexibility.

PED, Annex I, Clause 2.2.2 as a general rule limits the experimental design method for piping to PS·DN less
than 3000. For the time being there is no officially recognised calculation method available to design hose
assemblies. Accordingly it is essential that validation tests support design for all values of PS.DN.

4 Classification
Pressure hose assemblies are classified by the manufacturer using diagrams (see Figures A.1, A.2, A.3 and
A.4) into SEP pressure hose assemblies or CAT pressure hose assemblies that lead in the following clauses
to different requirements and evaluation procedures. Their classification depends on DN and PS and on the
type of fluid they contain according to Table 1.

When a pressure hose assembly has different DN's along its length, the classification shall be determined by
the largest DN section of the pressure hose assembly.

Where a pressure hose assembly can be subjected to different working conditions, the classification shall be
made on the basis of the more severe working conditions.

Where a pressure hose assembly can contain several fluids, the classification shall be made on the basis of
the fluid of the highest category.

Table 1 — Classification of the pressure hose assemblies

Dangerous fluids in Group 1
(explosive, extremely flammable,
highly flammable, flammable - where
Fluid Other fluids in Group 2
the maximum allowable temperature
is above flashpoint - very toxic, toxic
and oxidizing)

Gases, liquefied gases, gases Fluids in Group 2 with a DN

dissolved under pressure, vapours
and liquids with a vapour pressure at
maximum allowable pressure greater
than 0,5 bar above normal
atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar)
Fluids in Group 1 with a DN greater than greater than 32 and a product of
25 (see also Figure A.1) PS and DN greater than 1000 bar

than 2000 bar (see also Figure A.3) and a product of PS and DN
atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar)

(see also Figure A.4)

CAT pressure hose assemblies are also sub-classified into categories (I, II and III) depending on DN and PS
and on the type of fluid they contain, see prCEN/TR 14585-2.

NOTE 1 The demarcation lines in the Figures A.1 to A.4 defining the limits between the SEP and CAT pressure hose
assemblies belong to the SEP pressure hose assembly.

NOTE 2 National regulations transposing the Council Directive 67/548/EC [2] of 27 June 1967 on classification of
dangerous substances should be considered. In case of doubt regarding the group to which a fluid belongs, the
manufacturer should obtain the information from the user.

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential

Requirements of EU Pressure Equipment Directive

This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association to provide means of conforming to Essential Requirements of the
New Approach Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.

Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Communities under that Directive and has
been implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the clauses of this
standard given in Table ZA confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity
with the corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
