10、 contain requirements specifying the type of coupling to be connected to hoses as no European Standard dealing with the connection of firefighting hoses currently exists. Orders for couplings are thus subject to individual agreement between parties. To ensure the compatibility of all components of w

11、ater systems for fire extinguishing in Germany, these have been brought in line with the specifications from DIN 14366, the standard that has been valid until now.
