Have you tried the new SOLAS forms in Onix Work yet? ✨

At the beginning of the year, a new SOLAS regulation for lifting appliances from the International Maritime Organization came into force. This regulation introduced requirements for the construction, testing, inspection, maintenance and documentation of lifting appliances onboard vessels.

Inspections on lifting appliances including cranes, equipment and steal ropes must now be documented according to SOLAS requirements.

This is easy with Onix. You can now create a SOLAS inspection job in Onix Work or Onix Inspect, complete an inspection according to the required steps, and automatically generate a digital inspection document that supports SOLAS requirements.

*Please note the forms are compliant with guidance from Norwegian authorities. Always check requirements from your flag state.*

2026 is all yellowwww 🟨

In Norway, all lifting equipment must be marked with the date of its last inspection. This would ideally be with a label or QR code.

If it’s not possible to attach a label with required information including the name of the Enterprise of Competence and the body that certified it, then a color marking is permissible.

This color marking must correspond to the color of the year in which the equipment was inspected. It’s an easy way for equipment owners, users and inspectors to know when equipment is safe use.

There are four colors on rotation (green, blue, red and yellow) and this year’s color is yellow.

A color marking is considered the bare minimum, so those wanting better control should consider tagging lifting equipment with QR, RFID or NFC tags. Onix Tags come in all of these formats and connect equipment to complete digital twins in Onix Work. Simply scan the tag for instant access to critical equipment information including its history, certificates and user manuals that improves control and contributes to a strong safety culture.
