annual control is under the responsibility of

environmental conditions and regulations of the
company or the country of use, periodic inspec-
tions may be more frequent.
Periodic inspections must be carried out by an
authorised and competent technician and in ac-

ings should be an integral part of the periodic
inspection.
At the end of the periodic inspection, the return

thorised and competent technician who conduct-
ed the periodic inspection. This return to service
must be recorded on the inspection sheet in the

jected to a periodic inspection as described in
