permanent fitting shall be replaced or repaired and then subjected to proof test in accordance with Subpart E of this part.
1919.20(b) Any loose gear components which are injured or deformed by a proof load shall be replaced before a
certificate is issued.
1919.20(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.
