Can you locate the Manufacturer’s Data Report for your air receiver?
The Manufacturer’s Data Report (MDR) is one of the most important documents you can have for your air receiver. It is essentially the birth certificate of the vessel because it contains the key technical details about how it was built and tested.
The MDR includes information such as:
- The make and model of the air receiver and the name of the manufacturer.
- The serial number and design specifications of the vessel.
- Commissioning details and safe operating parameters.
- Materials used in the construction and testing records.
- Details of pressure testing and compliance with relevant standards.
Why the Manufacturer’s Data Report matters for compliance
This document is essential for receiver inspections under AS/NZS 3788 and for registering your air receiver with WorkSafe WA. When your receiver is inspected, our service technicians use data from the MDR to compare against current condition and thickness measurements, and WorkSafe WA requires it as part of registration documentation.
If you can’t find your MDR, here are some tips:
- Check the original installation or equipment handover pack.
- Ask the installer or compressor supplier who delivered the receiver.
- Contact the original manufacturer directly if needed.
Without this information on file, receiver inspections and compliance processes become much more difficult.
