Third party inspection
Initial acceptance is an essential step before any lifting equipment is put into service. This compulsory inspection guarantees that the equipment meets current standards, complies with safety requirements, and is suitable for its operating environment.
Is initial acceptance mandatory?
Yes, the use of lifting equipment is governed by strict regulations. As an employer, you are required to maintain this equipment in good condition, and to have it inspected before it is made available to your employees.
What is an initial reception?
This inspection, carried out by an approved third-party body, assesses the device's conformity in three key stages:
Administrative verification
The organization examines the mandatory documents, in particular the CE declaration of conformity, the operating permit and the technical specifications.
Technical verification
The equipment undergoes functional tests and load tests to ensure correct operation and safety.
Suitability check
This step ensures that the installation complies with the manufacturer's instructions and that the intended use corresponds to the defined parameters.
At the end of the inspection, a report is submitted and entered in the safety register. Any anomalies detected must be corrected within a given timeframe by the inspection body. If the adjustments are not made, the equipment is taken out of service until further notice.
