6 BI ANNUAL TEST AND CERTIFICATION
Every Martin Audio W8L flying system is initially supplied with a CE
Declaration of Conformity. In the UK, after a period of one year from the
date of issue, the system will need to be thoroughly inspected by a
competent person and a report/Certificate of Examination issued in
accordance with LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment
Regulations 1998). This inspection process will then need to be undertaken
every six months.
Note: LOLER is a UK regulation. Health and Safety regulations
covering the inspection of lifting equipment may exist in other
countries.
Since no flying system should ever be deployed unless covered initially by
the manufacturers Declaration of Conformity and subsequently by a valid
Certificate of Examination, the Certificate of Examination will need to be
renewed bi-annually.
In addition to the regular care & maintenance regime detailed above, every
W8L flying system should ideally be submitted once a year to an
independent test organisation for inspection and re-certification.
If necessary the proof load test procedure outlined below should only be
carried out by an experienced test engineer, qualified and accredited to
inspect, test and issue safety certificates for mechanical lifting equipment.
The test applies only to the W8L Grid assembly. (Contact supplier for more
information).
The serial number, date of manufacture and safe working load of the bar
are all detailed on the identity plate. No proof load test should be carried
out on any flying bar presented as part of a W8L flying system which does
not carry the manufacturers identity plate. No proof load test should be
carried out on any flying bar presented as part of a W8L flying system were
the details on the attached manufacturers identity plate have been defaced
or altered.
