Checking documentation, load capacity markings and operating regulations

At TECHARTSTAV we know that safe stage technology does not only consist of perfectly adjusted motors and fixed ropeways, but also of flawless and complete administrative support. Operators of theaters, cultural centers and multifunctional halls bear full legal responsibility for the condition of their equipment and for compliance with safety regulations. Checking documentation, marking of load capacities and operating regulations is therefore a necessary prerequisite for a smooth audit, revision tests and daily safe operation.

We provide complete passporting of stage technology, audit of technical documentation, professional processing of operating rules and regulations and creation of safety markings of load capacities (WLL) throughout the Czech Republic. Our team of specialists keeps your technological units in perfect order and in full compliance with valid Czech-European legislation and ČSN standards.

What do we check as part of our documentation and regulatory review?

Our expert audit team reviews all documents and security elements one by one. We regularly process and revise:

  • Technical documentation and equipment passports (machine passports, actual design projects, wiring diagrams),
  • Operating logs and revision books with a history of repairs, inspections and discarded elements,
  • Local operational safety regulations (MPBP) and operating instructions for stage mechanization,
  • Labels marking of load capacities and permissible loads (WLL / SWL) on the drawbar, counter or structure,
  • Safety and warning markings in the stage area, understage, grates and service bridges,
  • Operating instructions and certificates of non-flammability or origin for installed equipment and textiles.

Insufficient or missing documentation, illegible load capacity labels or outdated operating rules expose the operator to enormous risk. In the event of a possible inspection by state professional supervision bodies or in the event of an insurance claim, complete documentation is the first point of review.


Our services: Audit, passportization and legislative service from TECHARTSTAV

At TECHARTSTAV, we will help you bring all administration and signage on the stage into 100% compliance with standards, whether you have historical technology or a newly built hall.

1. Complete audit and inspection of operating documentation

We will conduct a thorough review of existing stage technology documents. We will find out which certificates, projects or inspection reports are missing and propose a procedure for their completion so that your theatre meets all the requirements of the inspection authorities.

2. Passporting and creation of missing documents

Do you own equipment without the original drawings or technical documentation? We will prepare passports of stage equipment, document the actual condition of the mechanization and electrical installation, and create clear records for easier management of future inspections.

3. Preparation of local operating and safety regulations (MPBP)

We will prepare tailor-made local operating rules for stage mechanization, which precisely stipulate operating procedures, instructions in the event of an accident, technicians’ duties and maintenance schedules in accordance with ČSN standards and the Labor Code.

4. Supplementing and renewing label and safety markings

We will provide complete weight capacity markings (WLL) for individual stage pulls, tables, anchor points and truss structures. We will equip your premises with legible warning labels, safety signs and marking of escape and service routes.

  • Top-notch knowledge of legislation: Our specialists have detailed knowledge of the ČSN, EN standards and OHS regulations relating to dedicated lifting and electrical equipment in the theatre environment.
  • Legal certainty for operators: With our developed operating regulations and passports, you will be sure that you meet all legal requirements and have your back covered during inspections or audits.
  • Transparency and order: We will introduce a system into your inspection books and operating logs, thanks to which you can immediately find out the status of any element on the stage.
  • Comprehensive package: We often combine documentation control and passporting with physical inspections, thanks to which you will receive all data from one partner.

How does the cooperation work?

  1. Input inventory of documents: We will review your existing documentation, operating logs and inspection reports.
  2. Physical passportization on stage: Our technician will check the actual label marking and the condition of the equipment directly on site.
  3. Processing of documents and labels: We will complete the missing passports, write operating regulations and produce labels with load capacities.
  4. Handover of the complete file: We will hand over to you clearly arranged documents and installed markings ready for normal operation and inspections.

Types of revisions

Upper mechanics

The upper stage mechanics include all equipment located above the stage, in the grid (ropeway) and in the technical bridges.

Bottom mechanics

Bottom stage mechanics includes all technical equipment built into the stage floor, understage, and adjacent technical spaces.

Curtains and textile systems

Stage textile systems include both mechanical drive parts and guide rails, as well as the fabric pieces themselves.

Scenic constructions

Scenic constructions form the backbone of every theater production, concert, or social event.

Electrical and control systems

Electrical and control systems represent the brain and nervous system of the entire theater, cultural center, or multifunctional hall.

Lighting technology and its curtains

Stage lighting is not only an aesthetic element, but above all a set of powerful electrical devices suspended from complex supporting structures directly above the auditorium and stage.

Inspection of steel ropes, chains, connecting and suspension elements

All stage moves, lighting bridges, sound systems, and demanding decorations are held above the heads of performers and spectators by steel ropes, load-bearing chains, binding devices, and suspension elements.

Functional and possibly load tests

Before putting new equipment into operation, after extensive renovation, or as part of regular periodic inspections, functional and load tests are an absolutely key step.
