Mobile Hose Service


Since 1995, we have been conducting onsite hose line tests in the entire federal territory. We have two vehicles available to conduct these tests (on appointment only). The documentation "Repeat inspection in accordance with technical leaflet T002/BGI572 of BG Chemie" is naturally included. For identification purposes, all hose lines receive a hose number which is permanently attached to the hose and a certificate is issued. The lifetime as well as the reason for failure is stored in an electronic data management system for statistical evaluation. Monitoring the test dates for recertification is part of our service. This system allows us to replace or if possible, repair a defective hose line in a short period of time.
