One of the goals of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1962, Standard for the Care, Use, Inspection, Service Testing and Replacement of Fire Hose, Couplings, Nozzles and Fire Hose Appliances (2018 ed.), is to assure fire departments that all equipment used in the process of fire fighting has been tested and meets the required level of safety. This includes the hose, coupling assemblies, appliances, and nozzles. A complete system test covers all of these areas.
