Legal framework for testing and inspections
Legal framework for testing and inspections
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) must be tested and inspected at regular intervals of not more than 2.5 years in accordance with ADR 6.5.4.4 by an inspection body which is recognised by the local authority.
BAM-GGR 002 prescribes that these requirements, and the initial tests and inspections as well as the tests and inspections after repair may only be executed by recognised inspection bodies. Every inspector from an inspection body must successfully complete an IBC expertise course, estimated at a minimum of 12 time hours, before taking up their duties and be able to verify this from the inspection body to BAM. Every inspector from an inspection body must be independent and not subjected to instructions when executing tests and inspections, and be free to act in accordance with the QSP of the inspection body.
You will receive the required IBC expertise certification after you have passed the final written examination at this seminar.
