Here I am again to share what I've been doing over these pass years. My job is basically to inspect all certificated machineries that stated clearly in Factory and Machinery Act as well as promoting safety to all workplaces...
I mean ALL WORKPLACES... that includes, restaurants, hotels, transportations, public services, goverment sectors and etc...
Actually, these certificate of fitness are similar to road tax, only that, these machines are to be inspected every 15 months instead of once per year...
Certificated machineries are lifts, elevators, escalators, mobile cranes, tower cranes, derrick cranes, scissor lifts, two post lifts and others that categorized as lifting machines which powered by electricity. Other lifting machines that are manually powered are excluded.
Yes, that's right, lifts and escalators... we uses these particular machines almost everyday, at office, at shopping mall and even at home.
There are cases which fatal accident occured. Lack of knowledge and awareness leads to this. So, sharing these essential info would ascended one's knowledge for whoever visited this blog..
Other than that, unfired pressure vessel, for example... air receiver, air compressor, oil separator and etc, also must be inspected to be fit enough to operate..Boilers are definitely falls under certificated machineries..
There are registration number for all registered machineries. This for the eligibility for inspection and for the certificate, for example, if you noticed, in lift car and at escalator step, there are registration number label as SL PMA XXXX, PP PMA XXXX, KD PMA XXXX.
That's all for now

Nice..really!..Don’t miss my latest..very useful Check Here
Hi there,
May I know if the JKKP inspection is complusory for lifts installed at residential apartment?
What is the procedure to request for an inspection?
How much is the cost for renewal certificate of passenger and bomba lift?
Is it compulsory to display certificate in the lift too?
You mentioned about doing the inspection once every 15 months. So the inspection arrangement has to be made before the expiry of certificate?
Hope you can share the info.
Hi...sorry for ultimately late reply.. i've been away quite a while.
Under Factory Machinery Act 1967. Amendment 1970 prescribed that any certificated machinery shall be inspected in every 15 months. Yes it is compulsory. As a building management body, you need to consult with your certified competent firm registered with DOSH. Be advice that, the Certificate of fitness (CF) is just like a road tax for your car. Do be inspected before it's expiry.
For the inspection fee, the charges are based on the travel distance.
Under 30 m the fee is RM 173.00, whereas above 30 m the fee is RM 380.00 and for above 140 m the fee is RM 483.00
And yes, it is compulsory to display certificate of registration thereof to be posted in the lift car or adjacent to the bottom terminal landing.
What does it mean for lift with KD PMA XXXXX?
KD = Kedah
PMA = Permit Mesin Angkat
XXXX = Registration number
