MANDATORY PERIODIC INSPECTION · DIRECTIVE 2009/104/EC

Inspecting equipment is mandatory in all 29 countries. Only 14 say how often.

Directive 2009/104/EC places the duty on whoever uses the equipment, not whoever makes it. Each country has transposed it its own way: here is each one’s law, with its official source, and how often it requires inspection.

THIS IS GUIDANCE, NOT LEGAL ADVICE

The table sets out the national law transposing Directive 2009/104/EC in each country, with a link to its official source so you can check it yourself. Fifteen of the twenty-nine countries don’t set an interval in law: they leave it to how the equipment is used and to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The interval for a specific item is decided by your health and safety adviser and the manufacturer, not by Slynga.

* Figure with caveats: check it with a local specialist before relying on it.

AND IF YOU WORK IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES

You work in several countries. You don’t need several systems.

Whatever your country, Slynga doesn’t impose the interval: you set it by family and by item. The same company can work to three-, six- and twelve-month intervals at once without running three separate systems.

Slynga stores each item’s interval, alerts you before it lapses and keeps the proof in writing.
