# §1919.20. Damaged components.

- (a) Pursuant to [§ 1918.51(b)](/cfr/29/1918.51.md?p=b) of this chapter, any derrick or associated permanent fitting which is deformed in service between surveys shall be subjected to proof test to determine its suitability for continued service. If a proof test indicates that the derrick or associated permanent fitting may be continued in service without repair, a note of the existing deformity shall be made on the test certificate. When, in the opinion of the accredited person, it is unsafe to conduct a proof test with an existing deformity, the derrick or associated permanent fitting shall be replaced or repaired and then subjected to proof test in accordance with [subpart E](/cfr/29/subpartE.md) of this part.
- (b) Any loose gear components which are injured or deformed by a proof load shall be replaced before a certificate is issued.
- (c) Any derrick, other fixed installation, or associated permanent fitting which is injured or deformed by a proof load shall be replaced or repaired and another proof load test shall be conducted without damage before a certificate is issued.
