Inspection codes: access without an account
A personal code lets a caretaker or contractor record inspections without an e-mail account — and can be deleted at any time.

Short answer
An inspection code is a personal code that lets somebody carry out inspections and record defects without having an account with an e-mail address. It is useful for caretakers, stand-ins and contractors. The code gives no access to settings, to closing defects or to the documentation, and it can be deleted at any time.
How to do it in Lekko
An inspection code is a personal code that gives someone access to carry out inspections — without that person needing their own account with an e-mail address in the system. It is useful for caretakers, stand-ins and contractors who are only there to walk the rounds.
- 1Go to Settings and the Inspection codes section.
- 2Create a new code and give it a name — the person's or the company's.
- 3Share the code. The person signs in with it from the sign-in page.
The code gives the Inspector role: the person can see the equipment and carry out inspections, but cannot change settings, close defects or produce documentation. You can see when the code was last used, and delete it whenever you want.
The narrow access level is deliberate. The person carrying out the inspection records what they see; deciding whether a defect has been dealt with belongs to whoever owns the equipment.
Background
What the code solves
The most common way to lose documentation is that the person actually walking the round has nowhere to write. A code gives that person somewhere to record, under their own name, without anybody having to administer an account for a stand-in who is there for three weeks.
The access level is deliberately narrow. Whoever carries out the inspection records what they see; judging whether a defect has been dealt with belongs to whoever owns the equipment.
Lekko builds on EN 1176 and EN 1177. It says that the equipment has been checked against those standards — not that any national requirement has been met. What makes the standard binding is national law, and that differs across the countries this market covers, so we do not claim to know what applies where you are.

If you are unsure what applies to your playground, ask a competent person or the relevant authority in your own country.
