Hydraulic Testing, Certification & Compliance

Hydraulic Testing, Certification & Compliance

Hydraulic Testing, certification, and compliance standards define how hydraulic components and systems should be evaluated, verified, and approved for use in commercial or industrial environments.

Common testing types include:

• Proof Pressure Testing – Tests how the system performs under controlled overpressure without permanent deformation.

• Burst Testing – Determines the maximum pressure a component can withstand before failure.

• Leak Testing – Uses air, helium, or ultrasonic detection to identify microleaks in hoses and fittings.

Certification standards:

• CE Marking (Europe) – Indicates compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

• UL Listed (USA) – Applies to electrical-hydraulic components, especially in equipment subject to inspection.

• ISO 9001 / ISO 45001 – Cover quality and occupational health/safety management systems for manufacturers.

Compliance with testing and certification standards:

• Enables product sales across regulated markets

• Builds trust with clients and engineering teams

• Ensures consistency in performance, especially under critical conditions

Documenting test results and maintaining certification records is essential for audits, legal protection, and system commissioning.
