What Is Periodic Examination?
Periodic examination is the verification that work equipment, electrical installations, lifting machinery and pressure vessels operate safely and in compliance with relevant requirements, through checks performed at defined intervals.
RAMIRA Energy verifies safety, continuity and regulatory compliance of energy systems with an independent inspection approach aligned with ISO/IEC 17020, supported by traceable reporting.

How Does the Inspection Process Work?
Examinations are performed through visual inspection, load tests, hydrostatic tests, non-destructive testing methods and instrument-based measurements. Results are recorded and evaluated against applicable requirements.
Inspection Frequency
As per the regulation, the inspection interval of equipment may not exceed one year. Shorter intervals can be planned based on manufacturer recommendations or risk assessment outcomes.
What Happens If Periodic Examination Is Not Performed?
If equipment is not inspected regularly, the employer may bear legal and criminal liability in the event of accidents that may occur.
