APPROVALS & COMPLIANCE

In line with the world wide trend to Risk Assessment, Chess carries out extensive risk assessments on each industrial vehicle that we convert or modify. This risk assessment verifies that the converted or modified equipment is in compliance with the nominated flameproofing specification and that the vehicle and associated equipment is safe for use in the nominated hazardous areas. This is supported with design verification and where appropriate third party testing by one of Australia’s independent, accredited testing authorities. A series of in production inspections, pressure testing and electrical testing with final inspection of the vehicles before being subjected to temperature rise tests in accordance with AS2359.12. A certificate of compliance to the nominated flameproofing specification is issued with each flameproofing installation.

Certification from one of Australia’s independent, accredited testing/certifying authorities is available at a considerable premium.
