What is the difference between a visual inspection and servicing?

Understanding the different levels of equipment maintenance

A visual inspection is a routine check that involves looking over the equipment for any obvious signs of wear, damage, or defect. This process does not require dismantling the product and is usually carried out periodically to ensure the equipment appears safe and operational.

On the other hand, servicing is a more in-depth process. It involves taking the product apart, inspecting internal components, and replacing any parts if necessary. Servicing can only be carried out by trained and authorised agents due to the complexity and safety implications of the work.

Both practices are essential in ensuring the continued safety, performance, and compliance of safety equipment.
 

Key points:

  • Visual inspection is a simple check for visible damage or wear.
  • It does not involve dismantling the equipment.
  • Servicing includes disassembly, internal checks, and part replacements.
  • Only trained and authorised agents can perform servicing.
  • Regular visual inspections and scheduled servicing together ensure product safety and longevity.
