During the lifetime of your storage equipment they are subjected to conditions and modifications (damages, replacements, substitutions, changes in configuration, transfers, accidents, …), that can substantially alter their performance, and revisions and actualizations to secure safety operations are increasingly needed.

Validation of use of storage equipment is the authorization by a competent person for the safe use of the storage equipment after verification of compliance with the partial technical, documentary and assembly validation, as well as the corresponding annual ITE® racking inspection conducted by an expert.

¿Responsibilities?

The question to answer is: Is our racking and storage equipment validated for a safe use?

Owner and user are responsible to validate the storage equipment and racking for a safe use, for both used and new equipment. To count on a validation of use, you need to have the following partial validations:

  • Static validation.

  • Assembly validation.

  • Documentary validation.

  • ITE® annual racking inspection for equipment older than 1 year.

For new racking (less than 1 year), those partial validations must be provided by the racking supplier.

From the first year on the storage equipment requires additionally the ITE® racking inspection to verify the state of the racking, to identify damages and to check if the partial validations are still valid.

Validation certificates have to be signed by an expert and competent person.

Loading labels

Loading labels have to be placed on a good visible location on the racking and all warehouse workers have to know about them, understand the loading labels and operate the racking according to the information gathered on those loading labels.

In case that your racking do not dispose of loading levels, be aware that you are not complying with current legislation and health and safety regulations.

If you do not have loading labels and your supplier does not exist anymore, or is not attending your requirements, or you simply do not know who the supplier was, we can provide those loading labels prior execution of a technical validation of the installation using the technical information available.
