A clear continued-use decision for every lifting bag.

We perform periodic inspections of EMG transport and lifting bags used to lift tools, equipment and other loads during technical work. The inspection confirms the condition of load-bearing parts and markings before continued use.

The manufacturer specifies an official inspection every 12 months and every 6 months in some countries. The final due date follows the instructions for the specific model and local requirements.

What we inspect

The inspection covers bag identification and assessment of all parts relevant to the safe lifting of a load.

  • Model, serial number, label and production date
  • Fabric for cuts, abrasion, holes and degradation
  • Lifting slings, handles, seams and attachment points
  • Buckles, closures and other fitted components
  • Signs of overload, chemical exposure or improper storage
  • Continued-use status, inspection record and date marking

The scope is confirmed from the model, serial number and current manufacturer instructions. For a larger batch, please send a model list and photographs of the identification labels before delivery.

How often is a periodic inspection required?

EMG specifies an official inspection every 12 months and every 6 months in some countries. The applicable interval always follows the instructions for the specific product and local requirements at the place of use.

What does an EMG lifting bag inspection cover?

The inspection includes product identification and assessment of safety-relevant parts, including the fabric, lifting slings, seams, attachment points, closures, markings and signs of overload, wear or degradation.

Will I receive an inspection record?

Yes. The result is recorded and the bag receives a clear status for continued use together with inspection-date marking in line with the inspection procedure.

Can Northon repair a damaged EMG bag?

During the inspection, we assess the type and extent of damage. Northon can carry out a partial repair when it is permitted for the specific case and falls within our authorised scope. If the bag requires manufacturer repair, we inform the customer after the inspection and agree the next step, including return of the bag to EMG.
