Industrial racking audits: safety, compliance and operational continuity

Do you manage a warehouse and aren’t sure your racking is compliant?

Many businesses rely on complex storage systems that have never been inspected or no longer meet the requirements of UNI EN 15635.

Our experience shows that regular racking inspections are not just best practice—they are essential to ensure safety, uptime and legal compliance.

Why a technical racking audit matters

Modern warehouses are dynamic environments: frequent handling with forklifts and heavy equipment can gradually damage structural elements.

Without periodic checks, pallet racking can become a real risk for people, goods and the entire operation. According to UNI EN 15635:2009, you need regular visual inspections and an annual expert inspection by qualified personnel (PRSES/expert inspector).

Applicable standards

Compliance is not optional. Key standards include:

UNI EN 15635:2009 – Application and maintenance of steel static storage systems
UNI EN 15512:2009 – Design of racking systems
EN 1993-1-3:2006 – Eurocode 3 (cold-formed members)
Legislative Decree 81/08 – Workplace health & safety (Italy)
D.M. 14/01/2008 and C.S.LL.PP. Circular 617/2009

Our method: simple, technical, reliable

1. First contact & scoping

A technical conversation to understand your context—no off-the-shelf offer. We define needs and the most suitable approach.

2. Preliminary technical site visit

A specialist inspects the warehouse to: map racking quantity and types (pallet racking, drive-in, cantilever, mezzanines), verify access and agree objectives, priorities and timeline.

3. Documentation collection or survey

We gather available documents (drawings, load notices, CE/DoP, manuals). If missing or incomplete, we perform a geometric/structural survey to create an accurate baseline.

4. Audit & visual inspection

Detailed verification of rack condition: structural integrity, damage, defects and wear. Where needed, we run static checks to confirm load capacity and stability.

5. Technical report

A complete deliverable including:

  • Rack register (inventory/abacus)
  • Non-conformities and anomalies
  • Damage classification by severity (per UNI EN 15635—green/amber/red)
  • Technical actions for repair, replacement, re-levelling and safe operating procedures
