Annual Thorough Examination
Mechanical & structural assessment
|
|
The purpose of the mechanical thorough examination and test is to determine whether,
atthe time of the thorough examination, the device and its safeguards
are installed safely, whether it is safe to operate and whether
there are any defects that could make it unsafe in the future. LTC
will look at a range of items to determine whether the device is
safe for continued operation. The items that will be included, the
tests performed and the information that are required may vary,
depending on the type of device, the information contained within
the design review, the NDE schedule, previous ride history and any
relevant technical bulletins. |

significance of any deterioration that may have occurred.
The assessment will be carried out by taking some of the following
steps:
Ascertaining history and determining if any
changes or modifications have been made.
Functional test
Visual inspection.
Measurement and test. |
