  • These vehicles must have sufficient load brakes to withstand this load.
  • The controls to be carried out must be carried out by mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians.
  • If periodic checks are carried out by non-destructive testing methods, these checks should only be carried out by engineers, technicians or technicians trained in accordance with the TS EN 473 standard.

EN TS EN 2010 Non-destructive testing, Qualification and certification of non-destructive testing personnel, General rules ”standard issued by Turkish Standards Institute in 473 was canceled in 2013 and replaced yerineTS EN ISO 9712 Qualification and certification of non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel has been published.
