Which equipment falls under periodic inspection requirements?

Why do periodic inspections matter?

Periodic inspections verify that equipment still operates safely, catch faults and incidents early, and sustain legal conformity. Missed deadlines grow not only paperwork gaps but site risk.

Which equipment is in scope?

Scope varies by site, but these groups stand out in many facilities:

• Lifting and conveying equipment (cranes, forklifts, platforms, etc.)
• Pressure vessels and systems (compressors, boilers, tanks, etc.)
• Electrical installation, earthing and lightning-protection checks
• Fire and ventilation installations
• Work machinery and machine tools
• Scaffolding and similar temporary structures

How should the process be managed?

Authorized inspection / service providers perform the inspection. On the organization side, inventory, calendar, coordination, report and action tracking become critical.

• Keep the equipment inventory current
• Monitor expiry dates on one calendar
• Coordinate proposals, appointments and site work with authorized providers
• Archive reports centrally and close nonconformity actions

What is KITA’s role?

KITA does not perform periodic inspections as a laboratory. It manages needs assessment, scheduling, authorized-provider coordination, and report/action monitoring so the process progresses without missed deadlines.
