This service deliverable is
based on the requirements for
“VdS certified facilities” in Ger-
many. In order to fulfill this
service level with respect to the
gas refill, it is recommended to
consider the following:
– How many bottles has your
biggest customer installed?
– What is the proximity of the
refilling station in relation to
the customer site?
– Once on site, calculate 30
minutes for the refill of one
bottle per employee
– Depending on the amount of
bottles of your biggest cus-
tomer it might make sense to
have your own inventory of
filled bottles
– Another option is to convince
your customer to have his
own inventory
