Periodic Inspection of Safety Systems

At Grupo TICE Ingenieros, we have a highly specialised team for the inspection and verification of industrial safety systems, enabling us to offer a rigorous, objective ISM365 service that is aligned with the most demanding technical standards. Our work focuses on ensuring that our clients' machinery maintains its safety level throughout the year, through functional reviews carried out by external, qualified technicians.

Thanks to our experience in safety engineering and our in-depth knowledge of RD 1215/1997, we support companies from all sectors to keep their equipment in safe, reliable conditions and fully compliant with current regulations, reducing risks, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening the confidence of technical and production staff.

What is ISM 365?

The ISM365 service (Inspection of Safety Systems every 365 days) is a technical process by which it is verified, periodically and documented, that the safety systems installed in machinery continue to function correctly and maintain their original level of protection.

This inspection is essential to ensure compliance with Royal Decree 1215/1997, which obliges companies to ensure that work equipment with safety elements, photoelectric barriers, interlocked guards, pressure mats, emergency stops, light curtains, two-hand devices, etc., remain effective and reliable over time.

At Grupo TICE Ingenieros, we carry out these checks following objective technical criteria, using functional tests, review of settings, measurements, safety logic checks and final operational validation. The entire process is documented in a professional report that confirms the equipment's compliance and serves as backup for audits, inspections, or internal certification processes.

What does Our ISM 365 Service Include

The ISM 365 service brings together all the technical checks necessary to ensure that a machine's safety systems continue to function effectively and in accordance with Royal Decree 1215/1997. At Grupo TICE Ingenieros, we carry out an exhaustive, documented, and objective review, which allows us to detect deviations, validate protections, anticipate failures, and guarantee the operational continuity of the equipment throughout the year.

Functional Testing of Safety Systems

We carry out practical tests to check that each device, photoelectric barriers, interlocks, emergency stops, or sensors, acts correctly and stops the machine in safe conditions, verifying its response time and actual operational behaviour.

Technical review of components and installations

We visually and functionally inspect the elements involved in safety: wiring, electrical cabinets, physical protections, anchors, buttons or actuators. We detect wear, tampering, misalignments or deterioration that could compromise the integrity of the system.

Change and Modification Control

We analyse whether the machinery has undergone extensions, component substitutions, reconfigurations, or undocumented interventions. We validate that these modifications do not affect the safety level intended by the regulations or the original manufacturer's design.

Document Analysis

We review manuals, electrical schematics, technical data sheets, maintenance logs and pre-adaptation documents to ensure they match the actual condition of the equipment. This traceability is key for internal audits, labour inspections and certifications.

Suggestions for Improvement

We develop customised recommendations aimed at increasing equipment safety and reliability, optimising operational efficiency and reducing future risks. These include technical improvements, configuration adjustments, component replacements or procedural reviews.

Annual Safety Certification

We issue the ISM365 Certificate, an official document certifying that the equipment has successfully passed its annual inspection. This certificate serves as support for work inspections, external audits, and prevention management systems.

FAQs About Our ISM 365 Inspection Service

Is an annual inspection, like the ISM365, mandatory?

Although ISM365 does not appear as a literal obligation in the regulations, it directly addresses the requirements of Royal Decree 1215/1997, which obliges companies to ensure that all their machinery is maintained in safe conditions throughout its entire period of use.

The annual ISM365 inspection is therefore the most effective, traceable, and technical way to demonstrate that work equipment has been reviewed, is functioning correctly, and complies with legal requirements. Furthermore, it provides verifiable documentation to support the company in the event of audits, inspections, or incidents.

How often should the ISM365 safety systems inspection be carried out?

The general recommendation is to carry out the ISM365 inspection annually, as this interval allows for verification that the safety systems maintain their correct operation and that the machinery continues to comply with Royal Decree 1215/1997.

However, in highly demanding operational environments, automated lines, critical machinery, or facilities where person-machine interaction is intense, semi-annual reviews may be necessary to ensure an adequate level of safety and minimise risks.

At TICE Ingenieros Group, we evaluate each installation individually to define the optimal frequency according to its use, criticality, and working conditions.

What is the difference between an ISM365 inspection and an internal security audit?

The main difference is that the ISM365 is an inspection carried out by external, independent technicians, which brings a level of objectivity and technical rigour that an internal audit cannot always guarantee.

While internal reviews typically focus on routine operational control, ISM365 assesses machinery safety systems against regulatory criteria, applying specific methodologies and generating certified documentation valid for official inspections, external audits or approval processes.

This impartiality ensures that the results reflect the real state of the machine and offers the company complete traceability for decision-making and compliance with RD 1215/1997.

Does the ISM365 service include the implementation of corrective measures?

The ISM365 service focuses on detecting deviations, assessing the real status of safety systems, and proposing the necessary improvements to comply with regulations and ensure the safe operation of machinery.

Nevertheless, if the company requires it, Grupo TICE Ingenieros can also take charge of implementing corrective actions, installing protections, adjusting safety devices, or carrying out the necessary adaptations to restore the planned safety level. This option allows clients to have a complete service, from problem detection to its technical resolution.

What documentation does Grupo TICE provide at the end of the ISM365 inspection?

Upon completing the annual inspection, Grupo TICE Ingenieros provides all necessary documentation to certify the safety status of the machinery and compliance with RD 1215/1997.

The final dossier includes a detailed technical report with the inspection results, photographic evidence, verifications carried out, and a clear list of recommended improvements. Furthermore, the ISM365 Certificate is provided, an official document that attests that the equipment has passed the annual review and that its safety systems are functioning correctly.

This documentation offers traceability, support for audits, and a solid foundation for technical decision-making.

Which types of machinery particularly benefit from the ISM365 inspection service?

The ISM365 service is particularly valuable for teams whose operation directly depends on safety systems, as even a minor deviation can lead to serious risks or operational shutdowns. Machinery such as robots, automated lines, presses, manufacturing cells, conveyors, cutting machines, or equipment integrated with guards and interlocks benefits significantly from this annual inspection.
 Thanks to technical, functional and documentary review, ISM365 allows for the detection of incipient failures, validation of modifications, and ensures that all safety devices maintain their reliability over time.

What happens if a machine fails the ISM365 inspection?

When a team fails the ISM365 inspection, a technical report is issued detailing the non-conformities found and their impact on operational safety. This does not automatically lead to the machine being shut down, but it does require corrective actions to be taken to restore the safety conditions required by the regulations.
 At Grupo TICE, we advise the client on the most suitable solutions, from functional adjustments to the implementation of new protections, and, once applied, we re-verify the equipment to certify that it meets the necessary requirements to obtain the annual ISM365.

Why hire a specialised company to carry out the ISM365 inspection?

Engaging a specialised company ensures that the ISM365 inspection is conducted with the technical rigour and independence required by industrial safety regulations. An expert team has detailed knowledge of the requirements of Royal Decree 1215/1997, applicable protection technologies, and common failures in safety systems, enabling them to detect risks that may go unnoticed during internal reviews.

Furthermore, accredited engineering provides documentary validity, standardised criteria, and viable recommendations that improve machinery reliability. At Grupo TICE, this specialisation translates into precise diagnoses, full traceability, and technical support that ensures each piece of equipment maintains its safety level throughout the year.

What is the cost of the ISM365 service for an industrial company?

The price of the ISM365 service depends on the number of machines to be inspected, the complexity of their safety systems, and the actual condition of each piece of equipment. There is no standard rate, as each industrial plant requires a different level of analysis and documentation.

Grupo TICE does guarantee a tailored and transparent proposal, designed to offer maximum value: risk reduction, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance. If you wish to know the exact cost for your company, our team can carry out an initial assessment and advise you on the most suitable option for your facilities.
