Short answer
The end assembly of a composite hose is not a generic fitting choice independent of the hose body. The hose series, layers, wire construction, fitting and assembly method must be verified together; haphazard re-tightening or end replacement must not be carried out in the field.

Technical explanation
The manufacturer's guide treats composite hose repair and assembly as an operation requiring special knowledge and authorization. Damage or leakage at the end fitting may not be just a seal problem; the relationship of the layers and wire to the fitting is important. The electrical and mechanical requirements of the assembly are checked separately. A fitting that physically fits into a hose diameter is not proof that it forms a suitable assembly system.

How is it assessed in practice?
When a leak is seen during maintenance, safely remove the assembly from service and send it for inspection with its serial number. Do not decide to cut off the end and use it as a shorter hose without the manufacturer's approved method. If repair appears possible, record the new length, the replaced parts and the required retests. Do not link the previous test report unchanged to the revised assembly. The delivery document should make the distinction between a repaired and a new assembly clear.
Original editorial recommendation; not a clause of a standard.
Frequently asked questions
Can I renew a composite hose end with a standard clamp?
A generic clamp solution should not be assumed. The end assembly system verified by the manufacturer for the hose concerned must be used.
