Persons qualified to test hose lines
A qualified person is a person who, through his or her professional training, professional experience
and recent professional activity, has the necessary specialist knowledge required for testing work
equipment - in this case for testing hose lines.
These requirements are defined in the Technical Rules for Industrial Safety TRBS 1203
"Qualified persons - general requirements" fulfilled if:

the qualified person has completed a professional training that enables his or her
professional knowledge to be determined in a comprehensible manner, i.e. based on
professional qualifications or comparable evidence. For the testing of hose lines, the person
concerned must have completed a technical professional training or another technical
qualification sufficient for the intended testing tasks. The object is to guarantee that the tests
will be carried out properly.


proof of practical use at work of the equipment to be tested as well as the associated
professional experience is provided. The qualified person must be sufficiently familiar with the
conditions that demand the performance of tests, such as the result of the risk assessment or
observations during the working day.


there is proof of recent professional activity in the area of the upcoming tests and appropriate
further training. The qualified person must also have gained experience with regard to the tests
to be performed or comparable tests. He or she must also have knowledge of the state of the
art with regard to the work equipment or components to be tested as well as the hazards to be
considered. This also includes knowledge of the relevant technical regulations and the
updating of this knowledge, e.g. through participation in training courses/instruction.

The qualified person is not subject to any technical instruction during the course of his or her testing
activity and must not be disadvantaged because of this.
Experts who have carried out tests on the hose lines up to now and who meet the three criteria
mentioned above and who have familiarized themselves with the contents of the German
Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and the changes associated with it are also considered
qualified persons to whom the tests can continue to be assigned.
