Built around ISO 23616.

ISO 23616 is the standard for the cleaning, inspection and repair of firefighter PPE. Vorrex GMS is shaped by it: the steps, the outcomes and the records follow the standard’s structure.

What the standard asks for

The standard covers four things: how PPE is cleaned, how it is inspected, which repairs are allowed and how they are checked, and what is recorded about each of those. A laundry that follows it can show an auditor what happened to any garment on any day.

What Vorrex records

Every record is tied to a scan, an operator and a time. Nothing is retyped from a ticket.

Cleaning
Which wash programme each garment went through, when, and in which batch.
Inspection
Every finding, marked on the drawing of that garment type, with the outcome: pass, repair or condemn.
Repair
What was repaired, from the inspection marks, and the re-inspection that followed.
Condemnation
Why a garment left service, and when the wearer was told.
Movement
Every scan at every station, every collection and every delivery, with the handover photo.

What Vorrex does not claim

  • Vorrex is software. It is not certified to ISO 23616, because the standard applies to the service, not to software.
  • Vorrex does not certify laundries. Certification is between the laundry and its auditor. Vorrex gives the laundry the records.
  • Vorrex does not replace the inspector. It puts the standard’s structure on the screen and records what the inspector finds.

Trust

We are pre-first-customer, and this site says so. There are no invented statistics, no testimonials and no customer logos. What we can show you is the system itself, on your garment types, in a demo.

See the records for yourself.

In the demo we run one garment through inspection and show you the record it leaves behind.
