Experience the benefits of expert machinery inspection
Once your company has earned our independent approval, you will be able to reap the benefits. The approval is recognized worldwide, and comes with documentation of safety standards, which can reduce liability. It is also a selling point for manufacturers, giving you an edge over the competition. Internally, you will be able to better avoid defects and all the risks, costs and inconveniences they create.
Through our global machinery assessment service, we conduct testing and certification of machinery according to international standards and regulations – from the EU Machinery Directive to OSHA in the US as well as customer specifications. This allows you to keep track of the constantly changing safety regulations for new, old and modified machinery on a local and global level and ensure the conformity of your machinery.
