Inspection & certification

Annual inspections of your lifting and hoisting equipment are carried out in accordance with international regulations and industry standards, ensuring safety and compliance at all times. During these inspections, components such as hooks, chains, slings, shackles, lashing gear, and other lifting accessories are carefully examined for wear, deformation, cracks, and other defects that could compromise safety.

As standard, inspections are marked with the IMO year color system, providing a clear and easily recognizable visual status for each item at a glance. This system makes it simple to verify whether equipment is still within the valid inspection period. Upon request, other color-coding options can be provided, tailored to specific client requirements or project specifications.

Upon completion, you will receive a detailed inspection report and certificate, ensuring not only compliance with legal requirements but also full traceability and documentation of your equipment. This contributes to a safer workplace, prevents unexpected downtime, and enhances the reliability of your lifting operations.

All inspections are carried out by certified inspectors and include a detailed inspection report and certificate. These documents provide you with full insight into the condition of your equipment and serve as essential evidence for both internal audits and external inspections.

All test results and certificates are digitally stored in our online certification system. This gives you 24/7 direct access to all relevant documentation, including:

• The complete history of your lifting and hoisting equipment
• Planned and completed inspections
• Automatic reminders for reinspections
• Full traceability of all parts and serial numbers

Thanks to this system, you no longer need to manually maintain records or search for documents. Everything is available quickly, securely, and clearly online, ensuring that you are always prepared for inspections and audits while avoiding downtime caused by missing certificates.

Annual inspections of your towing gear, such as towing wires, shackles, chains, hooks, and related components, are carried out in accordance with international standards to ensure safety and compliance. During these inspections, checks are performed for wear, deformation, cracks, and other irregularities that could compromise the reliability of the equipment.

As standard, inspections are marked with the IMO year color system, allowing for immediate visual confirmation of whether an item falls within the valid inspection period. Other color coding systems can be provided upon request, tailored to specific client requirements or project specifications.

All inspections are conducted by certified inspectors, using calibrated measuring equipment where necessary to ensure maximum accuracy. Upon completion, you will receive a detailed inspection report and certificate, guaranteeing full traceability and compliance with safety regulations.

Regular towing gear inspections are essential to ensure safety at sea, prevent damage or incidents, and extend the service life of your equipment.

Our inspectors carry out thorough inspections of your fall protection equipment, including harnesses, lanyards, fall arrest blocks, and anchoring systems. During these inspections, every component is carefully examined for signs of wear, cracks, damage, deformation, or other defects that could compromise safety. Production dates and service life are also reviewed, since fall protection equipment often has a defined maximum lifespan.

Inspections are performed in accordance with applicable safety standards and regulations (such as EN 365 and EN 361), ensuring compliance and safe use. This is not only critical for preventing incidents, but often also a legal requirement for employers to safeguard the safety of employees working at height.

Upon completion, you will receive a detailed inspection report and certificate, clearly documenting the condition of each piece of equipment. All certificates are stored in our online certification system, giving you 24/7 access to documentation, inspection schedules, and a complete overview of your equipment. This ensures you always know which equipment is safe to use and when reinspection is required.

Regular inspection and certification of fall protection equipment extends the service life of your gear, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures full compliance with occupational health and safety obligations.

We offer both Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) and Eddy Current Testing (ECT) for detecting surface and subsurface defects in metallic components. These are forms of non-destructive testing (NDT) that allow cracks, flaws, or other irregularities to be identified with great accuracy without damaging the material.

In this method, a magnetic field is applied to the component, after which iron particles are introduced. Any cracks or defects cause a disturbance in the magnetic field, which becomes immediately visible as the particles accumulate at the defect. This technique is particularly suitable for detecting fine cracks or weld imperfections at the surface.

This method uses electromagnetic eddy currents flowing through the material. Defects such as cracks or corrosion disrupt the current pattern and can be detected in this way. ECT is highly effective for detecting corrosion, hairline cracks, and variations in material thickness, even just below the surface.

All inspections are carried out in compliance with applicable international standards. The results are documented in an inspection report and certificate, providing full insight into the condition of your components. All certificates are digitally stored in our online certification system, giving you 24/7 access to documentation, inspection schedules, and complete traceability of your equipment.

By selecting the right method – or a combination of both – you can ensure safety, prevent unexpected downtime, and extend the service life of your installations. Please contact our office to determine which inspection method is most suitable for your situation. We will be happy to provide you with a tailored quotation.
