Need an answer ASAP please guys
« on: August 20, 2012, 12:21:34 PM »
I have been accused of not removing previous companies service labels from equipment (R102 systems)
This forms part of an audit (very deep and meaningfull as you can tell) and has reached high levels of pen pushers so I need constructive reply to inform them of the obvious. So :

Is it within the Signs and Signals regs etc?

I'm juggling allsorts at the mo and in a bit of a rush and can't find them so a short cut and advice would be gratefully accepted!

Cheers guys

Unless the label is obscuring a safety sign or similar it is nothing to do with the Signs Regulations.

Personally I would ask them to cite chapter and verse as to why to remove old labels, with portables you weren't supposed to cover previous labels and although you can now, you have to transfer the service history.

Seems a bit of an over-reaction on the auditors part, most people obscure labels to hide the oppositions name for marketing purposes not operational.

Unless there is something in the BS for servicing systems about it I don't see where this is coming from - although it might be a hangover from UL requirements?
