➤ Keep to inspection intervals in accordance with the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health
with maximum intervals as laid down in §15.
The inspection intervals are laid down in the technical specification for the air receiver. Inspec‐
tion intervals are dependent on the pressure/volume product of the air receiver, i.e. max per‐
missible pressure (PS) in bar, times the receiver volume (V) in litres.
Example: volume V = 90 litres, max. permissible pressure PS = 11 bar; pressure/volume product
= 990.

Approved supervisory body
* The inspection interval is determined by the user in consultation with the approved supervisory
body. The responsible body is to be notified not later than 6 months after the inspection carried out
before commissioning (if pressure x volume V > 1000). Intervals given are the maximum in each
case.
