Shelving Inspection
Improve the safety of your warehouse and reduce risks
IMEGUISA as a manufacturer for more than 60 years, is in the best conditions to inspect and issue shelving certificates.
The regulations: responsibility of the user
The UNE-EN 15635 standard of “Storage in Metal Shelves. Use and Maintenance of Storage Equipment” holds the warehouse user responsible for carrying out an annual inspection of the facility by qualified external personnel.
This European standard aims to minimize risks and achieve a safer operation of the warehouse avoiding damage to the structure of the shelves.
