Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)

Dutch term or phrase: 24/24 u.

"Indien van toepassing, dient in het lastenboek opgenomen te worden dat het vereiste aanspreekpunt 24/24 u. bereikbaar is."

Would that be 24/7, or am I supposed to say 24/24? I've never heard 24/24 before in English.

24/7 or around-the-clock

Explanation:
24/24, seems like Dutch spells out that it's 24 hours out of every 24 hours. Similarly I've also seen 7/7. I would use 'around-the-clock' or 24/7. Hope this helps.
