Elevated Work Platform Inspection
EWP inspection combines equipment records and selected structural examinations to document condition at the agreed stage of the machine's service life.
Overview
EWP inspection combines equipment records and selected structural examinations to document condition at the agreed stage of the machine's service life.
NDT Australia provides a single enquiry and co-ordination point for industrial inspection through specialist partners. The proposed provider, personnel competence, method-specific qualifications where required, insurance and any separate approval requirements are checked for the actual scope before appointment; no general accreditation or acceptance guarantee is implied.
Assets & Materials
Boom and scissor lifts, truck-mounted platforms, booms, pins and accessible structural welds need model, configuration and service history to define the scope.
Methods & Limitations
Visual inspection and appropriate ECT, MPI or UT may target fatigue-sensitive locations. Dismantling and engineering review are added only where required and agreed.
Structural NDT does not replace functional, hydraulic or electrical checks. It does not verify dielectric performance of an insulated platform. Inspection timing is not a universal ten-year rule.
Typical Defects & Conditions
- Fatigue-related indications at selected boom welds
- Visible distortion, corrosion and local damage
- Wear or movement requiring mechanical follow-up
Planning the Inspection
Share manufacturer information, duty, prior major-inspection records, repairs and incidents. Arrange safe access, clean surfaces and any required dismantling before the inspection window.
Expected Reporting Deliverables
Identify the machine, serial number, examined components, methods and exclusions, with findings and review actions. Any engineering sign-off is distinct from the NDT findings.

Standards & Competence Context
The references below are planning context, not a claim of accreditation, certified compliance or a universal acceptance rule. Confirm the applicable edition, part, material, procedure and acceptance criteria for this asset. Verify the appointed personnel's method, level and sector competence, insurance and any engineering authority required for the scope before work. A method standard is not itself a return-to-service approval.
- AS 2550.10 — Elevated work platforms safe use
- AS 1418.10 — Elevated work platforms design
