IS 12585 : 2023/ISO 6224 : 2011 Specification for Thermoplastic Hoses (Textile Reinforced) for Water - General Purpose
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 6224 : 2011 'Thermoplastics hoses, textilereinforced, for general-purpose water applications - Specification, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation(s) of the Rubber and Rubber Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.
This Indian Standard was published in 1988 and assistance was derived from ISO 6224 : 1981 Plastics hoses - Textile - Reinforced thermoplastics type for water - Specification during the preparation of the standard.
Thermoplastics hoses are being used and manufactured not only in developed countries but even in India. Depending upon the usage, both rubber and plastics hoses had their comparative advantages and weak points. However, once the choice to use thermoplastic hose had been exercised, it was important to stipulate the parameters to be tested and also prescribe the most acceptable requirements. Taking cognizance of these changes and developments, this standard had been formulated.
IS 444 is also available which covers the requirements, methods of sampling and test for textile-reinforced rubber hoses for general-purpose water applications.
First revision of this standard is undertaken to align it with latest published ISO 6224 : 2011 Thermoplastics hoses, textile-reinforced, for general-purpose water applications - Specification under dual numbering system.
The standard also makes a reference to the BIS Certification Marking of the product. Details of which are given in National Annex A.
The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
