Can anyone tell me where in the regulations/acop I can find the
info on that when you organise your periodic STE and the company
cannot do it until 8 days after the 'due date' that you can still
utilise the lifting equipment, as you have applied with the spirit
of the law of LOLER, but the insurance company or 3rd party have
been unable to meet the requirements of inspections.
I am sure I read that the insurance company could write a letter to
inform 'whom it may concer' that they have a 'grace' period.
Thanks
Warren

Sorry to be the bad news Warren
First, given the context of your question, I've assumed that you're
looking at UK use/law.
If you read through L113, especially Reg 9, the accompanying ACoP
& Schedule 1; there is no identifiable derogation for a TE not
being achieved within the date specified in the Scheme of
Examination - essentially, if the TE date has passed & the TE
has not been done, you can't use the kit!.
There especially is no identification of an insurer [or any other
body] being able to give you a "period of grace" - only the
enforcers could do that .
