PERIODIC INSPECTION
1) Periodic inspection of the bathtub should be undertaken at the time intervals stated by the manufacturer, but at least
once a year. By periodic inspection is meant a visual examination on all the functions of the bathtub and particularly on the
safety systems (anti-crushing device, emergency stops,…)
Every inspection should include a working load of one (1) lifting cycle with the maximum load.
2) Periodic inspection should be performed by a person who is suitably and properly qualified and well acquainted with the
design, use and care of the bathtub. The scope of the periodic inspection should be included in the manual supplied with
the bathtub.
3) Any observations of importance for the safety of the bathtub should be noted, preferably in a logbook which should be
retained by the person (s) responsible for the servicing / maintenance of the bathtub.
The date when corrective actions are taken, in response to noted observations, should also be noted in the logbook.
4) A record of the date of inspection of the bathtub and inspection result should be noted in the logbook together with the
signature of the inspector.
5) If periodic inspection reveals any defect, wear or other damage that jeopardises the safety of the bathtub, the owner
should immediately be notified.
In the event of immediate danger to safety, the bathtub should immediately be taken out of service. It may then not be
used until the deficiency has been eliminated.
6) Defects and damages of importance to the safety of the bathtub that have occurred between inspections and have
already lead to corrective actions should be entered in the logbook.
7) Defects and damages should be reported back to Reval for action.
This feedback should be reported in the logbook.
