26.8.2 Commissioning

The commissioning required will depend on the type of magnetic lifter used and the installation conditions. Generally, portable magnetic lifters are installed by the user simply by hooking them onto the lifting machine and do not require commissioning before use. For a permanently installed type where safety depends upon it being correctly installed, a thorough examination should be made before first use to ensure that it has been correctly installed and is safe to use.

For electro and electro-permanent magnetic lifters equipped with indicators, thorough examination should verify their proper functionality.
