23.7.1 Supply Documentation

Rigging screws used for lifting applications fall within the definition of lifting accessories given in this code of practice. Therefore, the manufacturer should issue the appropriate documentation required by the applicable supply legislation. Although not required by legislation, new rigging screws specified as suitable for lifting applications should also be accompanied by a manufacturer’s record of proof load testing. This may be provided as a separate document or combined with the documentation required by the applicable supply legislation. These documents form an important part of the record of the rigging screw. They should be retained and cross-referenced to the rigging screw’s historical records for inspection by the Competent Person or local enforcing authority.
