Rack Inspection in Accordance with MSZ EN 15635
The safe operation of warehouse racking systems is a fundamental requirement for reliable logistics processes.
Arborator Bt. performs periodic and ad-hoc rack inspections in accordance with the MSZ EN 15635 standard, ensuring that our clients’ warehouses remain safe, operationally reliable, and compliant with regulations over the long term.
Why Is Rack Inspection Necessary?
Warehouse racking systems are exposed to continuous mechanical stress due to forklift traffic, impacts, and occasional overloading.
Even minor structural deformation can lead to serious safety risks or inventory damage if not detected in time.
The MSZ EN 15635 standard requires:
- annual expert inspections of racking systems
- regular visual checks to maintain operational safety
These inspections help prevent accidents and ensure the long-term stability of warehouse infrastructure.
