EWP & Crane Certification for Defence
Independent certification and inspection of access and lifting plant across defence bases and facilities, with the documentation and traceability defence assurance requires.
Defence bases and facilities operate diverse access and lifting plant for maintenance, logistics and engineering support, within an assurance framework that demands rigorous, traceable documentation. EWP Certification Australia provides independent inspection and certification of defence-sector plant to the applicable Australian Standards, producing the defensible engineering records that defence asset management and audit require.
Diverse plant under a rigorous assurance framework
Defence facilities run EWPs, telehandlers and cranes for a wide range of maintenance and logistics tasks. EWPs are inspected under AS 1418.10 and AS 2550.10, and cranes under the AS 2550 series, with load testing after repair or modification. Defence assurance requires documentation that is complete, dated and traceable to a competent person, and our reporting is built to that standard.
Independent engineering and traceability
Independence and traceability matter in a defence context, where records may be examined long after the event. Our reports attribute every finding and certification to a competent engineer and document the engineering basis for fitness-for-service decisions, supporting both routine assurance and any subsequent investigation. Where high-consequence assets warrant it, non-destructive testing and structural assessment supplement visual inspection.
Coordinating within base access requirements
Defence sites impose access and security controls that shape how inspection work is scheduled and conducted. We coordinate within these requirements to keep plant certified while respecting the base's operational and security constraints.
