You must also observe the Operating Instructions and comply with
the intervals and conditions for inspections (particularly retesting) and
maintenance work in order to operate the machine within the limits of
its proper use.
1.2.1 Retesting (safety inspection)
After initial commissioning of the machine, the operational safety of
the machine must be checked regularly by a subject expert. The in‐
spection intervals depend on the age of the machine. The older the
machine, the greater the probability of damage. For this reason, regu‐
lar retesting of the machine, appropriate to its age, must be carried
out in order to detect damage in good time. Retesting should be car‐
ried out in accordance with the inspection intervals listed below.
Retesting must consist of the following:
● Retesting of the condition of the components and equipment with
regard to the formation of cracks, damage, wear, corrosion and
other changes;
● Retesting of the completeness and effectiveness of the safety
equipment;
● Retesting to find out whether any defects which are found during
the tests mentioned above and which could affect safety have
been adequately rectified.
Furthermore, information provided by the manufacturer to the opera‐
tor with reference to special instructions for maintenance and inspec‐
tion must be observed.
1.2.2 Inspection intervals for retesting
The inspection intervals are fixed as follows:
● Machines up to and including 5 years old:
Inspect after every 1000 operating hours or 1 year, whichever is
soonest. The interval is repeated after every retest.
● Machines more than 5 years old:
Inspect after every 500 operating hours or 1 year, whichever is
soonest. The interval is repeated after every retest.
● Machines more than 10 years old:
Inspect after every 250 operating hours or 1 year, whichever is
soonest. The interval is repeated after every retest.
