Pre-use Inspections |
These inspections are carried out only once, unless safety-critical
modifications to the amusement device have been made. They are to be
completed before the device is first used in this country. This will
also apply to second-hand devices brought into the country for the first
time. When the inspections have been satisfactorily completed, the
amusement device will be issued with a Declaration of Operational
Compliance (DOC) by the inspection body issuing the report of the
initial test. A DOC will normally be valid for up to one year.
