Description
In Bavaria, only those who are recognized in this specialist area and this specialist field may use the title "Inspection expert for stability" in a specific specialist field.
Inspection experts for stability can be recognized in the fields of solid construction, metal construction and timber construction.
Inspection experts for stability check and certify the completeness and correctness of the stability certificates in their respective field of specialization on behalf of the building owner or other person responsible according to building regulations, insofar as this is provided for in Art. 62a Para. 2 BayBO. They monitor the proper execution of construction work with regard to the stability certificates certified by them (Art. 77 Para. 2 Sentence 1 No. 1 BayBO and § 13 Para. 5 PrüfVBau). They are independent within the scope of their duties.
Foreign inspection experts, i.e. those who are established in another member state of the European Union (or equivalent state) to perform this task, are authorized to work as inspection experts in Bavaria under certain conditions. They must give prior notification of the first-time provision of services or apply for a certificate of compliance with the material requirements.
