Why bring machines into line with NR-12

A machine that complies with NR-12 is not just a legal requirement: it means fewer accidents, fewer unplanned stoppages and less legal exposure for the company.

With the report and the ART in hand, you have technical proof that your equipment operates as the standard requires.
