AS SIKB 6900 inspection for safe IBC works
Are you the owner or manager of an IBC work (Isolate, Manage and Control)? If so, you must demonstrate compliance with the requirements of inspection protocol AS SIKB 6900. This obligation stems from the Soil Quality Decree. The objective is clear: prevent soil contamination and structurally safeguard the environmental state of IBC works.
Are you responsible for an IBC work? Then you need a valid inspection and a declaration of the state of IBC work.
How does the inspection work?
We perform inspections according to two associated protocols:
- AS SIKB 6900 - 6901: Inspection during construction of the IBC work.
- AS SIKB6900 - 6902: Inspection of the condition of the IBC work.
In addition, we provide testing facilities for lifetime testing of applied plastics, as required in Protocol 6901.
During the inspection, we test whether the IBC work meets the specified requirements and whether the insulating and protective devices are functioning correctly. This ensures that the IBC work complies with laws and regulations.
