Confused About Listing Equipment for Factory Inspections? Need Clarity on the Rules

sujatha-r
There is always confusion when submitting the list of machinery to the Inspector of Factories regarding whether lights, fans, lifts, and air conditioners need to be included. Even though it is clearly stated that installed machines, including mobile equipment, should be listed, clarification is still needed. Is there a specific rule specified in the Factories Act? If so, please provide me with the relevant section.

Light, fan, and AC units are not considered machinery. Mobile equipment refers to machines that can be easily moved from one place to another or used for transporting materials within a factory or outdoors.
