There are 2 types of testing. Acceptance and Service. Acceptance testing is done by the manufacturer before it is shipped. Service testing is performed by the user periodically. Once a year. Service testing is for "in-service" hose to make sure it is maintained in optimum condition. Confirms that the hose is able to function at maximum pressure during firefighting operations. Guidelines are listed in NFPA 1962.

What is NFPA standard for fire hose cabinet?
It depends upon whether you mean the standard that requires or allows a fire hose cabinet to be present (and their locations), or the requirements for installations, or for the manufacture of a fire hose cabinet, or the requirements for occupant training if there are fire hose cabinets. Regarding fire hose cabinet placement and training: that would be covered by the locally adopted fire code, such as NFPA 1 and NFPA 101® LIfe Safety Code®, under the "fire protection systems" required for a particular facility. The requirements for the mechanism, configuration and installation would be covered in the cross-referenced NFPA 14, "Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems" and maintenance would be covered in NFPA 25, "Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems."

How does a fire hose stop a fire?
A fire hose is used to stop a fire by its ability to transfer water. The hose will deliver water from a source through a nozzle and onto the flames. We typically find a hose connected to a pump, which provides water under pressure. The hose will deliver that pressurized water to the nozzle, and a firefighter can direct the stream as needed.
