5.7 Inspection Methods and Criteria
5.7.1 This section covers the inspection of specific items. The list of items in this section is based on those
listed in ANSI/ASME B30.16 for Frequent and Periodic Inspection. In accordance with ANSI/ASME
B30.16, these inspections are not intended to involve disassembly of the trolley. Rather, disassembly
for further inspection would be required if frequent or periodic inspection results so indicate. Such
disassembly and further inspection should only be performed by a qualified person trained in the
disassembly and re-assembly of the trolley.
