Description
The Application Techniques maintains and publishes a list of equipment which fulfils current legal requirements.
If there is any doubt about certain equipment, the JKI may ask for the equipment to be sent in, will test it, and, if necessary, withdraw it from the list.
Manufacterers, importers or distributors may also have their equipment inspected on a voluntary basis.
