SAE J20 — the core industry standard for silicone coolant and heater hose.
SAE J20 R1 Class A: Silicone radiator and coolant hose; covers performance and physical property requirements. Hoses meeting this standard typically also satisfy TMC RP303B and MILSPEC A-A-52426.
MILSPEC A-A-52426: Military specification, frequently cited alongside SAE J20 for heavy-duty and military vehicle silicone hose.
GB/T 18948-2025 (Chinese national standard): Rubber hoses and pure rubber tubing for automotive cooling systems — specification, modified adoption of ISO 4081:2016. Applicable to cooling circuits of internal combustion engine or electric vehicles with a gross vehicle weight below 3.5 t.
FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 — “Rubber articles intended for repeated use.” This regulation lists silicone elastomer types acceptable for food-contact use, including methyl, methyl+vinyl, and methyl+phenyl silicone rubbers. MVQ (methyl vinyl silicone rubber) falls within the scope of this section.
Compliance with 21 CFR 177.2600 requires passing the relevant extraction tests (P.EJ., chloroform-soluble extractives limits). Material type alone does not constitute a compliance claim.
SAE AS4468G: 125 psi lined silicone hose assemblies for aircraft potable water systems, with an all-fluoropolymer liner.
SAE AS5420G: Heated lined silicone hose assemblies for aircraft potable water systems.
These standards apply only when the product holds the corresponding qualification; they are not applicable to general-purpose industrial Standard Silicone Hose.
