Short answer
An electrical resistance measurement record should contain the assembly identification, measurement points, method, instrument, conditions, result and acceptance source. An ohm value or a 'passed' statement alone is not enough to explain what the result shows.

Technical explanation
ISO 8031 provides methods for different electrical evaluations of hoses and hose assemblies. The test method and the acceptance limit are not the same data; a product standard or manufacturer's instruction may also be required. The contact condition and the range and suitability of the instrument are important in interpreting the measurement. The record should not be presented as a pressure or chemical compatibility document. When the measurement is repeated, a comparable history should be kept without deleting the previous result.

How to evaluate it in practice
In the proposed form, define the measurement points with a short description or a drawing. Alongside the numerical result, store the unit, the instrument identification and the revision of the acceptance criterion. If the measurement limit is exceeded, do not record the status shown on the display as if it were an actual number. Do not automatically place an uncertain or non-repeatable measurement in the 'acceptable' category. The actual person who performed the measurement and the date are not estimated afterwards. If the end fitting assembly has changed, link the new record to the new assembly revision.

Frequently asked questions
Can every hose resistance test be done with any multimeter?
No such assumption should be made. The suitability of the instrument for the required method and resistance range must be verified.
