The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 – What They Are About

Operational safety is an important issue for companies and public sector institutions. There are numerous regulations and standards that must be complied with. Among the regulations that affect almost all companies and public institutions across all sectors are the ordinances of the The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. These regulate measures for accident prevention and occupational safety.

For electrical devices and systems of all kinds, the electrical equipment regulations result in the obligation to have them checked for their safe condition at certain intervals.
Inventory software from Timly helps you keep track of all kinds of appointments for any recorded equipment. Smart notes and overviews ensure a smooth integration into your operational processes.

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 assures that companies meet the basic safety requirements.

The electrical equipment regulations deadlines depend on the type of equipment. Fixed electrical equipment must be inspected by a qualified electrician at four-year intervals. For all portable electrical equipment, the intervals depend on the environments in which it is used. For example, intervals of six months apply to bathrooms and large kitchens.

In laboratories, classrooms, workshops and on construction sites, the inspection period is twelve months. Portable electrical equipment and systems in offices must be tested every 24 months. Furthermore, in many cases, users must additionally ensure the proper condition of their tools before each use.

The Electrical Equipment Regulation: More Than Just an Annoying Obligation

However, with the multitude of equipment present in most companies and municipal facilities, it is a real challenge to observe all deadlines and take them into account when planning upcoming work. Especially as these can even vary within different areas of a business.

If a company does not comply with the existing obligations, those responsible can be guilty of an administrative offence. Therefore, the electrcal equipment safety regulations (2016) need to be fulfilled.
