Abstract: 1. A method for identifying defects in stored objects, characterized in that for storing an object by a customer a first electronic file with a digital image of said object is formed in the presence of the customer, calculating in a computer using a corresponding program a check sum of the first electronic file and write down said check sum in a check document signed by the document custodian and the customer, besides, providing the first electronic file to the customer on a corresponding data carrier, and when detecting a visible defect on the object during storing or after withdrawing said document a corresponding inspection means visualizes the image stored in a second electronic file presented by said customer as the first electronic file, visually compare of the defect part of the object with a corresponding image part stored in said second electronic file, wherein the identity of the second electronic file to the first electronic file is checked by computing, using said corresponding program, the check sum of the second electronic file and compare said check sum with the check sum stored in said reference document, stating either the identity of said check sums or finding out a substantial difference between said parts proving the defect presence appeared during storing of said object. 2. The method of claim 1, characterized in that a copy of the first electronic file is stored by the custodian, if the difference of said check sums is found, a corresponding inspection means visualizes the image stored in his own electronic file presented by the custodian as a copy of the first electronic file comparing said defect part of the object with a corresponding image part stored in the custodian's own electronic file, wherein for verifying the identity of the in custodian's own electronic file of the first electronic file copy a control sum is calculated for custodian's own electronic file and compare said check sum stored in said check document, in case of stating the identity of the check sum stored in custodian's own electronic file and the check sum stored in the check document, and if a substantial difference between the defect part and said image part stored in the custodian's own electronic file is found and the defect is stated during the storing of said object. 3. A method for identifying defects in stored objects in the process of storing, characterized in that for storing an object by a customer a first electronic file with a digital image of said object is formed in the presence of the customer recording said electronic file on a removable carrier provided with forgery protection means and said removable carrier to the customer, and when detecting a visible defect on the object during storing or after withdrawing it visualize the image stored in the electronic file by the corresponding inspection means stored on the removable carrier presented by the customer, visually compare the defect part of the object with the corresponding image part contained in the electronic file stored on the removable carrier presented by the customer, verifying the identity of the removable carrier presented by the customer by checking the identity of said forgery protection means when stating the identity of the removable carrier presented by the customer and when finding a substantial difference between said parts stating the defect presence appeared during storing of said object.
