Structural Safety of Buildings - Regular Inspections
Also Known As:
The VDI 6200 standard provides comprehensive guidelines for conducting regular inspections of the structural safety of buildings. The main objective of this standard is to minimize the risk of damage to buildings and ensure the safety of individuals by outlining a structured, efficient, and cost-effective approach to inspections.
The standard provides assessment and evaluation criteria, as well as checklists, practical instructions, and recommendations for assessing the structural safety of both existing and planned buildings. Additionally, it includes classifications for buildings based on damage consequences and robustness. This classification helps determine the appropriate inspection methods and processes, as well as the recommended inspection intervals.
The guideline also emphasizes the importance of documentation for existing buildings and defines the requirements for inspectors. It highlights the need for property owners, authorized parties, and experts involved in the inspection process, such as engineers, architects, facility managers, and construction departments, to comply with the standard's specifications.
It is worth mentioning that the scope of the VDI 6200 standard excludes bridges and tunnels, as it primarily focuses on buildings and structures of various types.
