Does anybody has to make a field inspection ?
I just move the company and the electrical inspector not only check for the compliance to the code of the work done by the electrician , they also look for a UL certification on the machine , of course none of my machines has one , i have matsuura milling ( Japanese ) daewoo and doosan lathes the doosan is 2013 and is not compliance to the osha requirments.
The city inspector says that the machines has to be approved by any of the OSHA NRTL approved certification companies ( UL , CSA ,etc ) , like none of the machines are they require a field inspection , i talk to different companies and i get a quote for 11000 dollars plus expenses , another give me a price of 8000 , i talk to one of the companies and they told me that for what they seen on the pictures i sent we will have to change the breakers and any other components that are not ul approved , so looking at the machines i have to replace almost everything on them.
That is ridiculous , if they do not require the manufacturers to comply with UL why we have to face the consequences and spend a ton of money to fix 7 machines ., i have machines from 89 , 98 , 2000 and 2013 and none of them are compliant
does anybody has any information or has to do this inspection , there still 2015 machines that are not compliance with this , is like to buy a Toyota and can't drive it on the street.
Thanks
