Who this service is for
Operating organizations, equipment owners and clients commissioning repairs or modernization. Buildings and structures are addressed through a separate service scope.
When it is required
Diagnostics are required in cases specified by the rules and documentation and may also be commissioned voluntarily by the owner. End of assigned service life, damage, an accident or changed operating conditions require individual assessment. Buildings and structures are examined under construction regulations, including Rules No. 263 effective from 1 July 2026. Authorization for industrial safety expert assessment does not automatically cover this work.
What to prepare
- Equipment passport and drawings, technical characteristics, operating history, conditions and reason for the assessment.
- History of repairs, component replacement, accidents, failures and previous examinations.
- Available inspection reports and material information.
- For buildings: design and as-built documents, load changes, defects and reconstruction history.
How we work
- Determine whether the subject is equipment or a building structure and select an appropriately qualified provider.
- Develop a program reflecting damage mechanisms and access to the components.
- Perform visual and instrumented examinations, required measurements and calculations.
- Assess defects, restrictions and the justification for continued use.
- Issue the report and specify any separate expert assessment, repairs or further examination required.
What you receive
A report or technical opinion containing inspection results and recommendations. Remaining-life assessment is included only where sufficient information and an appropriate calculation method are available.
What to keep in mind
The possibility of continued operation and conditions for extending service life depend on the examination results. Examination of buildings and structures requires separate agreement on the scope and the provider's authorization.
Price and timing
Price and timing depend on the number of items, available documentation and the need for calculations, site visits and testing. After an initial review, we agree on the scope, cost and schedule. Free government services are distinguished from preparation and support charges.
Questions about this service
How does statutory technical inspection differ from diagnostics?
Statutory technical inspection is a procedure prescribed by the rules, with specified checks. Diagnostics investigate actual condition and the causes of defects. Whether both are needed depends on the equipment.
Can service life be extended without a site visit?
Assessing continued operation requires sufficient information about actual condition. Where examinations, measurements or tests are necessary, correspondence cannot replace them. The outcome cannot be guaranteed in advance.
