Telescopic Inspections
The International Code Council Standard (ICC 300) establishes minimum requirements to maintain folding and telescopic seating in good repair and structurally sound, with all components or fasteners in proper working condition. The code calls for annual inspection and maintenance of new and existing installations to be provided by the owner.
A seating inspection should be completed:
- After any new installation and construction
- Yearly of existing seating
The inspection must be performed by a qualified individual certified by the manufacturer.
The owner is responsible for providing inspection certification, as required by the local authority
The application of this code is consistent across all major standard authorities.
