See which color your Lifting Equipment should be marked with this year
Are you unsure about which color your approved lifting equipment is marked with this year?
The color of the year for lifting equipment inspections changes every year to a new color with a fixed RAL code (color code).
What annual colors can we expect in the coming years?
The Working Environment Council for Building and Construction has adopted the following color codes for the next few years:
Where do the annual colors come from?
The annual colors are believed to originate from a meeting in the early 1980s between the Working Environment Council for Construction and Civil Engineering and members of the industry, and this is the closest explanation of their origin that we have been able to find.
Do you HAVE to use these annual colors for approved lifting equipment?
No, it does not mean that you have to use these colors, and it is perfectly fine to use other color codes as long as it is described in the company's safety procedures and there are signs indicating this.
Annual statutory inspection
All lifting equipment must undergo a statutory main inspection every 12 months by a competent person. Fyns Kran Udstyr's testers are certified to perform the annual statutory inspection.
