ISO 7840:2021 specifies general requirements and physical tests for fire-resistant hoses for conveying petrol or petrol blended with ethanol, and diesel fuel or diesel fuel blended with FAME, designed for a working pressure not exceeding 0,34 MPa for hoses with inner diameter up to and including 10 mm, and 0,25 MPa for hoses up to 63 mm inner diameter in small craft. It applies to hoses for small craft with permanently installed fuel systems.
It does not apply to hoses entirely within the splash well at the stern of the craft connected directly to an outboard engine.
