A quality control process for re-usage and life extension of equipment in public organizations

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has not succeeded in the goal of developing a process for destructive quality testing of the police department´s personal protective equipment. Depending on the material in the personal protective equipment, there are more or less working quality testing methods that can be applied, but these need to be further investigated. However, the project has succeeded in creating a greater understanding of wear and other types of quality-affecting use of this type of equipment. The project has highlighted gender aspects of equipment design.

Expected long term effects

One of the objectives of the project has been to provide documentation in aim to be able to develop a quality assurance process for the reuse of protective equipment in stage 2. This failed because the project could not get a consortium together with the necessary project partners. Furthermore, the project also failed to produce a functioning non-destructive quality test of the police department´s personal protective equipment. The project tested different types of sensors in order to obtain a reliable quality test if possible without having to destroy personal protective equipment.

Approach and implementation
