en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Spanish Material Handling Association (FEM-AEM) and the Spanish Forklift Enterprise Association (AECE) have reached a cooperation agreement to jointly promote the UNE 58452 standard, a guide for regular safety inspections of forklifts. These two industry organizations cover nearly the entire forklift and handling equipment market in the country, aiming to ensure machine safety and reduce environmental impact through unified inspection standards. The Spanish Ministry of Industry and Tourism has recommended the use of this standard on its website as a supplement to existing maintenance inspections.

Under this agreement, starting September 15, 2026, all forklifts must undergo periodic inspections based on the UNE 58452 standard within a specified timeframe (at least once a year). This inspection is independent of routine maintenance checks and will serve as a complement to them. The inspection results and the review deadline will be displayed on each machine via a uniform circular sticker used across the industry. The upper part of the sticker bears the logo of the brand or company that performed the inspection, while the lower part features a QR code providing additional information. This industry-wide commitment, jointly made and supervised, will enhance the safety level of machines undergoing this supplementary inspection, contributing to a safer working environment for personnel, infrastructure, and goods. For manufacturers under FEM-AEM, this move also represents progress in transparency and sustainability.
