How to read a hose standard and check its edition

Record the edition date

A concrete example: for ISO 18752, an old search result may show the 2022 edition while the official catalog lists the 2025 edition. For this reason, we do not accept a search result title alone as the "current standard". The record contains the check date and the official source.

Do not add claims outside the scope

The ISO 18752 summary explains that it does not define requirements for the end fittings. The number of a standard should not be regarded as sufficient evidence of the conformity of the entire connection system.

The limit of a public summary

Publicly available bibliographic and scope information does not mean that the licensed normative full text has been reviewed. Paid full texts are not redistributed in this guide. Instead of automatically declaring a product document citing an older edition "nonconforming", a scope assessment will be requested from the manufacturer and the relevant technical lead.
