For industrial warehouse and logistics operation teams, the safety performance of electric forklifts is closely related to the personal safety of on-site operators, and the compliance of related equipment also directly affects the daily operation permissions of the whole work site. Many procurement personnel tend to focus on parameters such as load capacity, battery life and operating cost during the electric forklift selection process, but ignore the full verification of official safety certification marks, which may bring hidden safety risks to subsequent daily use.

The first step of verification is to confirm the formal specification of safety certification marks issued by local regulatory authorities in advance. You can check the official documents released by the local industrial equipment safety supervision department, clarify the standard appearance, color and basic anti-counterfeiting features of valid safety certification marks applicable to industrial handling vehicles, and do not judge the validity of marks only by the oral introduction of suppliers.

The second step is to check the physical characteristics of the certification mark on the actual forklift. Regular safety certification marks are usually fixed on the prominent position of the forklift body through wear-resistant laser marking or special anti-counterfeiting film printing, which will not appear blurred text, blurred edges, or easy to be torn off. You can compare the anti-counterfeiting details released by the official in advance to check whether the micro-text, special line marks and other preset features on the mark are complete and consistent.

The third step is to trace the validity of the certification through the official designated query channel. Most formal safety certifications support public online trace query. You can record the unique certification number printed below the mark, log in to the official public service platform of the certification issuing institution, input the number to check whether the corresponding product model, rated load, production specification information completely matches the parameters of the electric forklift to be purchased, and do not use the non-official link provided unilaterally by the supplier, so as to avoid the misleading of false trace pages.

The fourth step is to cross confirm the coverage scope of the corresponding certification. Some non-compliant suppliers may use the certification of other low-load forklift models to apply to unqualified high-load products. You need to carefully check the applicable product series marked in the certification document, confirm that all performance parameters of the target forklift are within the scope of certification approval, and there is no situation beyond the approved application scenario. After the whole verification process, you can keep the copy of the certification document stamped with official seal as the compliance material for subsequent on-site safety inspection, which can effectively reduce the operation safety risk of electric forklifts.
