Periodical Inspections - once a year
This is recommended to be carried out by a Type C inspector [as defined by EN ISO/IEC 17020] at least once a year. They may also have a maintenance and construction capability but this must be a separate part to their business and not interfere, or have influence on, their role as an inspector.
The following shall be carried out as part of this process:
Visual inspection.
Functional inspection
Determine the replacement schedule for worn components.
Examination of the Constructors instructions for maintenance.
A comprehensive report must be provided as part of this inspection; this will include:
Date and place of the inspection.
Results of the inspection indicating any defects observed.
Assessment, whether or not there are any misgivings about further use of the facility.
Information on necessary re-inspection.
Name, address and signature of the examiner.
