JCS benefits of British standards

The benefits of working to British Standards

With over 100 years of experience, the British Standards Institute (BSI) is widely recognised as a leading facilitator of global quality and conformance standards. As the United Kingdom’s national standards body, BSI work closely with the manufacturing and service industries, government, businesses and consumers to create and manage British, European and International standards.

British Standard BS5315:1991

BS5315:1991 defines and specifies the general design, size and dimensions, operating requirements, and test conditions of worm drive hose clips intended for general purpose use.

High Quality

All JCS Hi-Torque hose clips are precisely manufactured and tested in accordance with BS 5315:1991. In fact our hose clips well exceed the required standards, with other alternative clips not meeting the same standards even when living up to the required British Standard.

Customer advantage

Manufacturing hose clips to a precisely defined specification provides a distinct advantage for the end user.

If a customer were to experience adverse supply chain issues or extended lead-times with their existing supplier, a British Standard compliant hose clip is fully interchangeable with that of any other similarly specified hose clip produced to the same British Standard regardless of the manufacturer.

Production maintained

As a direct result, JCS Hi-Torque hose clips can be quickly and easily used as readily available replacements on OEM equipment production lines, without the need to change product designs or specifications.

Proof of quality – free-of-charge samples

As proof of the quality, function and durability of a JCS Hi-Torque manufactured hose clip, JCS are prepared to provide free-of-charge samples for testing and evaluation.
