Machine inspections
In Germany, legislation, supplemented by the technical rules for
operational safety (TRBS) 1201, requires all machine operators to have all
machines and equipment inspected regularly (BGV A1/BetrSichV §10).
Inspections must be performed as required, but at least once a year, by an
expert and must be documented in written form. Subsequent inspections
of detected defects must be performed, too.
The competent inspection authority may require the inspection report to
be available at the place where the machine is used.
Affix inspection label A for evidence (see example in Fig. 2).
Ensure that all work equipment is inspected, not only the machine but also
all technical auxiliary means, tools and attachments. (Work equipment is
defined as all tools, attachments, machines or systems.)
This requirement is fulfilled, for instance, when the results are logged in a
test booklet, file or report; Also see the professional association principle
"Testing vehicles by an expert" (BGG 916).
When operating vehicles, the national safety regulations must be
observed, such as in the Federal Republic of Germany the accident
prevention regulations "German Inspection Authority for Agricultural and
Forestry Technology" (DPLF) and accident prevention regulation
"Vehicles" (BGV D29 § 57 para. 1).
