What should be done if the hose passes the pressure test?

Passing the pressure test means the hose meets the required safety and performance standards and is safe to use. The correct action is to mark the hose as tested and return it to service. Marking provides a clear record that the hose has been inspected, showing the test date and who performed it, and indicates it is fit for use until the next due date. Returning it to service keeps the extinguisher ready for emergencies. Destroying would waste a serviceable part, and storing it for later would delay readiness. Keep the test record updated so maintenance history is clear.
