IS 6760:2018 is the Indian Standard (BIS) for rubber hoses for lpg. IS 6760 covers rubber hoses for domestic LPG connections — the flexible hose connecting the cylinder regulator to the gas stove. ISI mark is mandatory. Must resist LPG attack, pass burst pressure test, and withstand 5-year ageing.
Specification for rubber hoses used for connecting LPG cylinders to regulators and appliances covering material, dimensions, and testing.

Practical Notes
! ISI mark is MANDATORY — non-ISI hoses are a fire/explosion hazard.
! Replace LPG hose every 3-5 years — rubber degrades with LPG exposure over time.
! Maximum recommended length is 1.5m — longer hoses increase leak risk.
! Check for cracks, hardening, or discolouration regularly — replace immediately if found.
