New Year Resolution - Get in Compliance, Stay in Compliance

New Year, New Standards: Why 2026 is the Year to Prioritize Magnet Compliance

As we kick off a new year, most facility managers are looking at their preventive maintenance schedules. While belts, motors, and sensors usually make the list, one critical component is often overlooked: The industrial magnets.

At MagnetCert, we speak with dozens of companies every month that have never professionally tested their magnets. If you fall into that category, you aren't alone—but you are at risk.

The Hidden Risk of "Silent" Failure

Unlike a motor that smokes or a belt that snaps, a magnet fails silently. Over time, factors like mechanical shock, temperature fluctuations, and moisture can degrade a magnet’s "pull strength."

When a magnet loses its effectiveness, the consequences aren't just technical—they are catastrophic:

• Metal Contamination: In food processing, a failed magnet means metal fragments in the final product, leading to massive recalls and brand damage.

• Equipment Damage: In lifting and industrial sectors, a weakened magnet can lead to dropped loads, destroyed machinery, and—most importantly—workplace injuries.

• Regulatory Fines: If an auditor asks for your testing logs and you don't have them, you aren't just non-compliant; you're liable.

Compliance is Simpler Than You Think

Many businesses put off testing because they assume it will require significant downtime or a complex overhaul of their processes.

With MagnetCert, it’s the exact opposite.

We’ve designed our testing process to be as non-disruptive as possible. Our on-site certification provides:

1. Speed: Most tests are completed quickly without halting your entire production line.

2. Accuracy: We use calibrated Gauss meters to provide precise, documented pull-strength readings.

3. Documentation: You receive a formal certification that satisfies auditors, insurance providers, and safety inspectors.

Make This Your Year of Total Compliance

Don’t wait for a "near miss" or a failed audit to find out your magnets aren't up to the task. Starting the year with a professional baseline test gives you peace of mind for the next 12 months.

It’s the simplest safety check you’ll do all year, but it might be the most important.
