HOW TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE REGISTER
The “SERVICE REGISTER” must be completed in compliance with the Essential Safety Requirement 4.4.2.b of Enclosure I of Ma-
chine Directive EC/98/37, to prove that all machine inspection and service activities concerning safety have been carried out correctly.
Together with every activity concerning the life and use of the machine (replacement of parts, services, malfunctions, etc.)
the Service Register must also include information regarding all the quarterly and yearly inspections provided for by law, in-
cluding those indicated in the “Maintenance” section and “Attachments” chapter of this Manual.
The name of the service engineer and the date the job was carried must also be clearly indicated.
You are recommended to complete, up-date and keep this Service Register with care throughout the entire life of the machine.
The following pages have been left free to ease creation of your own Service Register.
OBLIGATIONS AND HOW TO FORWARD STATEMENTS TO I.S.P.E.S.L. (SUPREME INSTITUTE FOR
ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE)
The Italian Ministerial Decree dated 12/09/1959, under Title II – Article 7, states that the employers and users of engine-driven
lifting equipment having capacities greater than 200 kg and personnel platforms, are obliged to inform the competent au-
thority (currently I.S.P.E.S.L. - the Supreme Institute For Accident Prevention And Safety In The Workplace in Italy) when the
machine is commissioned, specifying the place of installation of the machine so that this authority may make an initial inspection.
This fullment is conrmed by Article 11 – section 3 of Italian Presidential Decree 459 dated 24/07/1996, a national law that
transposes Machine Directive EC/98/37.
The statement to the Supreme Institute for Accident Prevention and Safety in the Workplace is made by enclosing a copy
of the EC Statement of Conformity of the machine, with reference to Enclosure IIA of Italian PRESIDENTIAL DECREE
459/96 – Machine Directive EC/98/37.
The original statements (EC Statement of Conformity – Enclosure IIA or Manufacturer’s Statement –Enclosure IIB) must be kept by the client.
The statement shall be forwarded to the Supreme Institute for Accident Prevention and Safety in the Workplace by registered
post with advice of receipt.
The Supreme Institute For Accident Prevention And Safety In The Workplace will then inform the local surveillance authority
(A.S.L. in Italy) that the machine is in use; this authority is then in charge of the subsequent yearly inspections.
SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS AND REGISTRATION METHOD
The employer or user of the machine must ensure the machine is inspected regularly pursuant to the law
(Italian Presidential Decree 547 dated 27/4/55; Italian Ministerial Decree 12/9/59 and Italian Decree Law 626 dated 19/9/94).
He or she must also comply with the maintenance and inspection schedule described in this Use and Maintenance Manual.
Inspections and scheduled tests, together with maintenance work must be carried out by especially employed experts, or by
a workshop authorised by the manufacturer, DIECI S.r.l.
The employer/user of the machine must record the results of the tests and inspections in the Service Register, or ask speci-
cally trained personnel to record them.
The scheduled tests and inspections that must be recorded in the “Service Register” are:
a) Quarterly inspections that involve the operation and/or efciency of ropes/chains according to Article 179 of Italian
Presidential Decree 547 dated 27/4/55.
b) Yearly inspections that involve the operation and the preservation of the machine in terms of safety (yearly tests,
corrosion inspections, calibration tests, etc.) according to Article 194 of Italian Presidential Decree 547 dated 27/4/55.
The law foresees administrative nes for those who fail to carry out quarterly and yearly inspections.
The Service Register, in which the inspections are recorded, must be shown on request to the inspectors in charge of ensu-
ring that the current laws are observed.
After the yearly inspection has been carried out, the A.S.L. inspector issues an acceptance report or prescribes the ac-
tion necessary to fulfil legal requirements. The user is obliged to store the inspection report with the Service Register.
If the local surveillance authority (A.S.L. in Italy) should fail to make the yearly inspection, you are in any event recom-
mended to have the yearly inspection carried out by a qualified engineer and record the results in the Service Register.
The evaluations of the inspections must be registered in the reserved pages below, indicating the outcome of the inspection,
the date, the signature and any comments by the inspector.
If not enough pages have been reserved within this manual to contain all the notes concerning the life of the machine, use
additional sheets of paper, remembering to complete them in the same manner.
