Would you like us to perform the periodic inspection?
You can deliver or send the equipment to us, or we can perform the inspection at your site. In our inspection program Q-Control, we create a service log for each component. After inspection, each component receives an inspection report and an inspection label showing the latest date by which the next inspection must be carried out. The inspection label clearly indicates to the user whether the component is approved for use. Three months before the next periodic inspection is due, an automatic reminder is sent by email. You can also get a login to Q-Control where you can view all your equipment, as well as see or download all reports.
