Australian and CE Standards
HAPP hoists 25, 40 and 70 have been assessed for Australian Standards certification
and have passed. These hoists have been registered with Workplace health and
Safety and are able to be used in business workshops.
Australian standards and work cover registration has been performed by a registered
engineer at substantial cost to HAPP. This process is detailed involving many
calculations and structural assessments of hoist operation involving HAPP and the
original manufacturer supplying all hoist design and test details as well as supplier
details. Customers need to be aware that many suppliers of hoists claim Australian
standards certification but actually do not have this. Work cover requires businesses
to have cover by design registration which in turn requires Australian Standards
compliance. The work cover compliance by a business also requires approved
installation and regular assessment. It is a business responsibility to fully research
and understand the details of work cover compliance in their location.
In order for HAPP approved hoists to be used in a business workshop the hoist must
be registered with HAPP and formal documentation indicating the serial numbered
hoist is certified and that the hoist has been registered as a certified hoist will be
supplied. This is required for the hoist to be used in the workplace (as well as
installation and operation by competent persons).
The same design principles and components are used across the HAPP product
range.
All HAPP hoists are compliant with CE certification requirements. HAPP hoists have
been supplied to USA and European markets for many years under this certification.
HAPP hoists are registered with CE certification authority by an external testing
authority CCQS in England.
