9.7.2 Post Repair Verification and Record Keeping
Following repair, beam clamps must be re-verified by a Competent Person. The report of the verification should be retained and cross referenced to the clamp’s historical records for inspection by the Competent Person or local enforcing authority.
Although not required by legislation, new beam clamps will usually be issued with a manufacturer’s record of proof load testing in addition to, although possibly combined with, the documents required by the legislation. This document forms an important part of the record of the clamp. It should be retained and cross referenced to the clamp’s historical records for inspection by the Competent Person or local enforcing authority.
