What UDT stands for and what it doesThe UDT is the Office of Technical Inspection - a state institution that was established to ensure the safety of any technical machinery together with installations that are subject to technical supervision. The foundation of the UDT is laid down in legal acts, primarily the Act of 21 December 2000, which speaks of technical supervision. From this Act we learn what the Office of Technical Inspection is responsible for. Its tasks include:controlling, monitoring and complying with legislation on safety in the use of technical equipment and on technical supervisionkeeping records of technical equipment put into servicequality system certification for technical equipmenttechnical supervision of technical equipmentAnalysis of the effects of technical defects and continuous monitoring of the degree of danger posed by these devicesIssuing decisions and opinions on the implementation of technical supervisionActivities aimed at improving the professional skills of manufacturers and users of technical equipment with regard to their safe operationEstablishing training programmes for those who use and maintain technical equipmentTesting the qualifications of those who manufacture technical equipment and those who upgrade, maintain, operate and repair itTechnical supervision and equipmentTechnical Inspection is any activity recorded in the Technical Inspection Act to ensure the safe operation and use of technical equipment. The technical devices that are subject to Technical Supervision were recorded in a decree of the Council of Ministers on 7 December 2012. The list of all machines is very long and includes devices that, for example, may pose a danger through the expansion of pressurised gases, the distribution of dangerous loads during their transport (e.g. steam boilers, liquid boilers, liquefied gas tanks and cisterns) as well as all so-called handling machines (e.g. hoists, cranes). Equipment subject to technical supervision also includes: Mobile platformsOverhead cranesStacker cranesPassenger or freight cranesEscalators and moving walkwaysEquipment for disabled personsMobile truckslift trucksAnd also:Pressure cookersPipelinesMovable platformsCablewaysLoading equipmentTrack cranesAbout the qualifications of the UDTIt is very important that a plant that manufactures, repairs, modernises or assembles technical equipment has a licence issued by the UDT. We are talking here about plants occurring in our country as well as foreign companies. The UDT authorisations also define the qualifications of each individual employee of the plant in the scope of service and repair or operation of equipment that is subject to technical supervision, and more precisely - handling equipment.Certificates, which are issued by the Office of Technical Inspection, confirm employees' knowledge of the legislation and rules, knowledge of the technical conditions of technical supervision. The certificate confirms skills in operating or maintaining equipment subject to technical supervision.A factory employee who wishes to obtain a UDT licence must successfully pass a state examination before an examination board. The exam consists of a theoretical and a practical part.An advantageous solution to having a UDT licence is to enrol in a course and obtain the necessary knowledge on it.Operator Training Centre offers high quality UDT training.
