Using a BFPA certified hose supplier displaying the ‘Q’ Approved logo will ensure that hoses supplied by that company will have been manufactured or assembled to an approved standard by a company accredited as competent in the making of hydraulic hose assemblies.
If customers are not already using an accredited Hose Scheme supplier, unintentionally they could be participating in the supply of poor quality, unregulated products into the market place. Companies who join the BFPA demonstrate their commitment to hydraulic hose safety by joining the Hose Accreditation Scheme. Both Associations are owned by their members who include all types of companies all of whom work tirelessly to raise the standards of professionalism within the hydraulic and pneumatic industries.
