What it regulates
Approves ITC 02.2.01, linking the commissioning of mining equipment with maintenance, documented repairs and periodic technical inspections.
Who it applies to
Work equipment in activities covered by the General Basic Mining Safety Regulation, with specific conditions for mobile or semi-mobile machinery and workshops repairing safety components.
Key provisions
Before making equipment available to staff, the employer must check legal requirements and supporting documentation. First use is distinguished from previously used equipment; RD 1215/1997 remains applicable.
2. Putting work equipment into serviceMaintenance and repair must be carried out by qualified, authorised personnel. Interventions throughout the equipment’s life must be documented; repairs to safety components follow the ITC’s specific conditions.
3. Maintenance and repair of equipment in serviceSince the 2010 amendment, workshops submit a declaration of compliance before starting activity. They must meet conformity and insurance requirements; surveillance audits take place every three years and repair records are kept for five years.
4. Workshops entitled to repair safety componentsMobile or semi-mobile machinery receives its first technical inspection three years after commissioning. Thereafter: every three years up to six years old; every two years above six and up to ten; annually above ten or where age is unproven. An applicable equipment-specific specification is required.
5. Technical inspection of mobile or semi-mobile machineryAn unfavourable result prevents use until defects have been corrected and a new inspection passed. A negative result requires immediate shutdown because of defects in principal safety systems or components.
