49 CFR 571.106 Standard Test Method for Brake Hoses

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of 49 CFR 571.106 standard. This standard specifies labeling and performance requirements for motor vehicle brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and brake hose end fittings.

The purpose of this standard is to reduce death and injury caused by brake system failure due to pressure or vacuum loss due to hose or hose assembly rupture.

This standard applies to hydraulic, pneumatic and vacuum brake hose, brake hose assemblies and brake hose end fittings for use in passenger cars, multi-purpose passenger cars, trucks, buses, trailers and motorcycles and these vehicles.

Armor refers to the protective material that is attached to a brake hose to increase the resistance of the hose or hose assembly to abrasion or impact damage.

Brake hose refers to a flexible pipe, other than a vacuum pipe connection, manufactured for use in a brake system to transmit or retain fluid pressure or vacuum used to apply force to a vehicle's brakes.

Brake hose assembly, armored or unarmoured, means a brake hose fitted with end fittings for use in a braking system, but does not include an air or vacuum assembly prepared by the owner or operator, employee, or others of a used vehicle.
