EWP Certification
Independent certification confirming an elevated work platform meets its design standard and is compliant for use.
EWP certification is the formal, independent confirmation that an elevated work platform conforms to the applicable Australian Standards and is safe and legal to operate. It brings together design conformity under AS 1418.10, in-service condition under AS 2550.10, and the documentation that ties a specific machine to its ratings and history. Owners seek certification to satisfy regulators, principal contractors and insurers with a single authoritative document.
What certification confirms
Certification is not a single test; it is an engineering conclusion drawn from evidence. We confirm the machine's design conforms to AS 1418.10, that its condition meets AS 2550.10 through inspection, and that its compliance plate, capacity ratings and logbook are consistent and complete.
Where any element is missing, such as an imported machine without local design registration or a plate that no longer matches the machine, we identify what is required to close the gap before certification can be issued.
- Design conformity assessment against AS 1418.10
- In-service condition verified against AS 2550.10
- Compliance plate and rating validation
- Logbook and documentation completeness review
When certification is needed
Certification is commonly required when a machine is imported, modified, purchased second-hand, or when a site or insurer demands independent proof of compliance. It is also the natural output of a successful major inspection.
Because we are independent of manufacturers and hire companies, our certification carries weight precisely because we have no commercial interest in the outcome.
The certificate you receive
The deliverable is a signed certificate supported by the underlying inspection and design-review records. It states the standards assessed, the basis for the conclusion, and the responsible engineer's details, so it stands up to scrutiny long after issue.
