Part of the Compliance series on the Mobtag platform.
In short: Catastrophic hose failures are rarely a surprise in the abstract; they are a missed test, a wrong assembly, or a handover gap. A digital history on the line item beats a hole punch, a smudged date, and an Excel that only the last supervisor “really understood.”
Pressure tests, crimp identity, and retirement are one chain. If the fitter, the store, and risk see three “sources of truth,” you are planning a loss event, not a maintenance programme.
What the tag should point at
- The last result, the next due, and which spec this assembly is supposed to meet.
- Location and context (skid, temporary install, in stores) so the next round is the right one.
- Who did the work, with a timestamp—not a name on a Biro line.
| You lose if… | The usual symptom |
|---|---|
| The paper says “ok” and the system never heard | A duplicate assembly in the rack |
| Retirement is a folder move | A failed assembly in service in year three after a quiet repair |
| Zone rules change, tags do not | A unit outside its supposed regime, still in rotation |
Summary: Know which assembly, where, next due, and last sign-off—in one place the fitter, risk, and internal review can all open without retyping your credibility.
