Which information should be included in fire hose records?

Maintaining hose records centers on proving the hose is safe and ready for use. Recording the date and results of periodic testing is essential because regular tests confirm the hose can withstand the pressures it’s meant to handle and that there are no hidden defects. This information shows compliance with testing schedules, identifies any failures or required maintenance, and indicates when the next test is due. While costs, who last inspected, or when the hose was used are part of maintenance history, they don’t directly verify current safety or readiness like the formal test results do.
