(b) a responsible person:
 (i) carries out an examination before the due date of the annual inspection and considers that the equipment is satisfactory; and
 (ii) enters details of the examination on the register of material handling equipment.
      (6) If a competent person considers that specialised material handling equipment cannot reasonably be tested in accordance with this Schedule or the equipment would require unnecessary dismantling, the requirements in subclause (2) do not apply if:
(a) the manufacturer's equipment specification, schedule of examination and maintenance manual are available to the competent person; and
(b) the equipment has been examined and maintained in accordance with the maintenance manual and recorded in the register of material handling equipment.

3 Cranes and derricks — proof load
      (1) The proof load of a crane or derrick may be less than the load mentioned in Table 1 for the crane or derrick only if:
(a) for a hydraulic crane — it is tested in accordance with paragraph 2(1)(b) or 2(2)(a); and
(b)  it is not practical for the crane to raise the full test load; and
(c) the reduced test load is at least SWL x 1.1.

 Table 1
SWL of derrick gear or crane (tonnes)  Proof load
≤ 20                                   SWL × 1.25
> 20 and ≤ 50                          SWL + 5 tonnes
> 50                                   SWL × 1.1

      (2) A derrick rigged in union purchase must be rigged in accordance with the rigging plan mentioned in clause 1 of Division 1 of Schedule 6, with a proof load based on the SWL mentioned in the plan.
      (3) For a crane or derrick, the load imposed on any accessory block, topping lift, shackle, preventer, guy or other accessory part must not exceed the SWL of the part by more than the proportion by which the proof load exceeds the SWL of the crane or derrick.
      (4) The proof load for a test of a crane, including a derrick crane, a derrick in union purchase or the initial test of a derrick, must be applied by hoisting movable weights.
      (5) The proof load for a test of a derrick or derrick crane, following renewal of a part or repair, must be applied by hoisting movable weights, a spring, hydraulic balance or similar appliance.
      (6) The proof load must be applied:
(a) with the derrick boom or crane jib at its minimum working angle or, for a crane or derrick crane, its load radius, measured from the horizontal plane and stated
