Which inspection type is performed on a semi-annual or annual basis?

• A. Periodic Inspection
• B. Annual Governor Test
• C. Travel Limit
• D. Tripping Speed

Answer: (A)

Periodic inspection is the routine safety-check performed at set intervals. For escalators and moving walks, maintenance standards require a periodic inspection every six months or every year to verify that all safety devices function and that components like steps, comb plates, handrails, guards, lubrication, and electrical systems are in good condition. Because the question asks for the inspection type performed on a semi-annual or annual basis, this type best fits that description. The other options refer to a specific test or to device settings rather than a general inspection category, so they aren’t the typical semi-annual or annual inspections.
