AFS 2005:3 Terms of use

Pressure equipment which must be inspected by an inspection body may only be used if inspections has been performed, and the result was satisfactory

Inspection body assess highest / lowest pressure and temperature for each pressure equipment (and the safety circuit)

Inspection body assess the peeriod to next internal and external inspection

AFS 2005:3 Inspection

Installation inspection Periodice inpsection (in-service inspection) - DP and IU Revision inspection

AFS 2005:3 Installation inspection

Equipment in class A and B

Exclusion: - Storage tank without safety equipment- Assembly acc to PED

Before Installation inspection: AFS 2005:2 Plant inspection

AFS 2005:3 Installation inspection

Performed before (or in addition to) first time of operation

- Equipment needed for safety exists and works satisfying- The pressure equipment and the system is suitable regarding safety - All risks regarding operation and malfunction have been assessed

Operational test (Driftprov) – class A and B

Consists of:

Functional test of safety equipment

System check

- Functional test of safety equipment can be performed as self inspection if conditions acc to 36-37 §§ are fulfilled

- System check can be performed as continous surveillance acc to AFS 2002:1 if conditions in 15 §, third section, are fulfilled
