Competitive pressure on hose pricing is driving companies to deviate from industry standards published by organizations such as the Association for Rubber Product Manufacturers (ARPM) for hose design factors, potentially creating safety issues. Hose assemblies designed and fabricated based on misleading hose design factors have the potential to create serious accidents affecting worker safety, user operations, and the environment. Applications with severe safety and personal injury implications, compounded by intense regulation, ups the stakes considerably.

NAHAD’s Hose Safety Institute is proud to announce the newest version of the Handbook for the Design and Specification of Hose Assemblies! A small team composed of both Distributors and Manufacturers spent grueling hours hammering out the changes which were then approved by the Standards Committee. The resulting Handbook provides content more focused on Distributor needs and reflects even more consensus on best practices than ever before.
