INSPECTATION AND EXPERT SERVICES FOR MACHI-

NERY SAFETY

Most businesses use some kind of machines, tools and other equipment in their workplaces; for example in manufacturing industries, trade and logistics, in construction as well as in the public sector. Legislation relating to the safety of machinery and equipment used by your employees changes as technology evolves over the course of time. Manufacturers need to be aware of new standards defining the state of the art in their field. As well as this, employers are required to keep machinery, tools and other equipment safe throughout their entire lifetime. With machines becoming even more complex, this calls for more expert help.

Inspecta is the leading provider of inspection, testing, certification and technical consultancy services in Northern Europe. Inspecta offers you a wide range of expertise and inspection services for machinery safety. Our services help to ensure that your machinery, tools and other equipment are in safe operating condition and that they comply with the relevant legislation. Inspecta’s extensive service package covers the whole life cycle of machinery and working equipment: from design and manufacture through to purchase, use, inspection and removal from operation.

The machinery’ s intended environment of use creates many operational prerequisites, which should be taken into close consideration from the beginning; from design, manufacture and purchasing. Only machinery that complies with all relevant requirements can be placed on the market and put into service. Inspecta’s services help to avoid unnecessary costs, subsequent repairs and hidden risks. For instance, at the production stage we can monitor the manufacturing process and make sure the machinery conforms to relevant harmonized

82

standards and legislation. At a later date, we can help you in writing your purchasing specifications and assist you in determining whether a machine complies with applicable legislation, standards and your purchasing specifications.

Owners and users of machines face different challenges, which can be tackled with risk management and other proactive activities. Our services give you tools to improve workplace safety and keep your machinery in safe operating condition during its operational lifetime. Our services include, for example, hazard identifications and risk assessments, inspections during all phases (when first put into service and periodic checks) and life expectancy assessments. Our services are independent and objective, and they are tailored to specific customer needs, in other words, your needs.

TEXT 10 C

WHAT IS LEGAL METROLOGY?

Legal metrology is the application of legal requirements to measurements and measuring instruments.

∙Measurements are so much a part of our daily lives that we often take them for granted and possibly don’t even notice them. For example:

∙we monitor the speed at which we drive to ensure we travel safely and thus reduce road casualties,

∙we undergo medical checks to make sure we remain healthy,

∙we use time to be punctual for appointments, and satellite positioning systems to pinpoint our location,

∙we consume electricity, gas and water which are billed based on measurements,

∙we buy meat, fish, fruit and vegetables by weight,

85

∙we fill our cars with fuel by volume,

∙we have our vehicles checked to monitor the exhaust emission levels,

∙and so on.

Very often, small errors in either direction average out over a large number of measurements. But biased errors can create considerable financial prejudice - for example, inaccurate measurements of oil at each of the many transaction points from the oil well to the end consumer can have serious economic consequences.

As another example of the importance of measurement, incorrect radiation doses in cancer treatment can have a critical effect on our health.

Legislation on measurements and measuring instruments is required in all these cases, as well as when there is a need to protect both the buyer and the seller in a commercial transaction, or where measurements are used to apply a sanction. Virtually all countries provide such protection by including metrology in their legislation – hence the term “legal metrology”.

Creating global standards for use in legal metrology legislation is the role of the OIML.

The International Organization of Legal Metrology is an intergovernmental treaty organization which

∙develops model regulations, standards and related documents for use by legal metrology authorities and industry,

∙provides mutual recognition systems which reduce trade barriers and costs in a global market,

∙represents the interests of the legal metrology community within international organizations and forums concerned with metrology, standardization, testing, certification and accreditation,

∙promotes and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and competencies within the legal metrology community worldwide,

∙cooperates with other metrology bodies to raise awareness of the contribution that a sound legal metrology infrastructure can make to a modern economy.
