Australian Standard 2550.1-2011
The recent release of Australian Standard “2550.1 Cranes, hoists and winches – Safe Use”, has updated the servicing requirements for your equipment. All cranes now require Third-party Inspections every 52 weeks.
Austwide Cranes and Chains can fulfil this requirement for your organisation.
What does “Third Party Inspection” mean?
“AS 2550.1 Clause 1.4.15 Third-party inspection”, states:
“An inspection carried out by an independent competent person, who is not Involved in the maintenance of the crane. Note: For the purpose of this definition, ‘independent’ means not employed by the same organisation unless that organisation uses a quality process that Confirms independence.”
Austwide Cranes and Chains comprehensive quality process guarantees that the Periodic Third Party inspection is carried out by a qualified and competent service technician who has not been involved with the maintenance of your crane. As proof of compliance you will receive:
- Periodic Third Party Inspection Report.
- Certified Copy of your cranes service history detailing the technicians who
have serviced your crane in the last 12 months. Austwide Cranes and Chains can meet all your service requirements.
