Abschnitt 7.1 - 7 Required tests
7.1 General
Work equipment (machines) has to be checked for a multitude of reasons. The regulations for the test are based on the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health.
Proper and safe mounting and functionality of the work equipment are ensured by checks before initial commissioning and after every installation at a new location. The test has to be arranged by the operator of the work equipment (see also section 7.2).
Furthermore, work equipment is subject to damaging influences or wear and tear. In order to detect and remedy damages in a timely manner and to allow for safe operation, the work equipment has to be checked at regular intervals. These tests have to be arranged by the operator as well (see also section 7.3).
