How often do air receivers need to be examined?
An examination normally takes place once every twelve months. However the type and frequency of examination are defined by the written scheme. For the majority of air receivers the first examination is a full internal thorough inspection. The next inspection, twelve months later is a working external examination and the following year another thorough. I.e. a thorough examination every two years. With the agreement of the customer the written scheme can be amended so that both the thorough and external examination are completed at the same time and therefore only one examination takes place – every two years. Note: the price remains the same for the customer whether a one year or two year cycle of examination is maintained. Typical annual cost of an air receiver is £25 plus VAT.
