Static and Dynamic sample testing (Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, Annex I, section 4.1.3) are performed for each production lot.
The static tests are performed by connecting to the balancer a load 1.25 times higher than the maximum allowed capacity then by
accompanying it to the stroke end (rope all out) for 10 minutes (as reported on DIN 15112:1979).
The dynamic test is performed by checking the proper operation of the balancer (rope extraction and rewinding) for 1-hour time with
the balancer charged 1.1 times the maximum allowed load.
