Hydraulic Global & Regional Standards

Global & Regional Standards

Global and regional hydraulic standards provide the foundation for consistent, safe, and high-quality hydraulic systems used around the world. These standards are developed by international and national organizations to unify engineering practices, improve safety, and ensure compatibility across industries.

Common standards include:

• ISO (International Organization for Standardization) – ISO 4413 is a key international standard that outlines safety and design requirements for industrial hydraulic systems.

• DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) – German standards often used in European industries for hydraulic components.

• EN (European Norms) – Harmonized European standards that incorporate elements of both ISO and DIN.

• JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) – Widely adopted in precision engineering and Japanese manufacturing sectors.

• ANSI, ASME, SAE, ASTM – Prominent U.S.-based organizations that publish standards covering hydraulic fittings, system performance, and testing procedures.

Understanding and applying these standards is essential for:

• Ensuring product quality and system reliability

• Meeting international safety regulations

• Facilitating global trade and product certification
