Electrical Inspections

We conduct inspections of your electrical systems, to ensure they comply with current regulations and provide the required safety for people and property.

• Periodic Inspections (PI)
  
• Final Inspection (FI)
  
• Acceptance Inspections (AI)
  

Whether household, laboratory, or industrial devices, we test the electrical safety of your plug-in/portable devices after a repair, based on the following legal foundations.

• Low Voltage Product Ordinance (NEV) SR 734.26 Art. 2, 3, 17
• Federal Law on Accident Insurance (UVG) 832.20
• Ordinance on the Prevention of Accidents and Occupational Diseases (VUV) 832.30 Art. 32b
• Current Info from Electrosuisse No. 3024

The testing must be carried out by the employer for all portable electrical devices used by employees at work after a repair.

The goal is to ensure personal and property protection following a repair of the devices, thereby preventing electrical accidents and fires

Devices on Construction Sites and Workshops:
Hand tools such as angle grinders, drills, jigsaws, paint mixers, as well as extension cable drums and battery chargers, etc.

Devices in Office Workplaces:
Monitors, computer power supply units, extension cords, floor lamps, as well as household devices such as coffee machines, etc.


Devices that can only be operated with batteries are excluded, but the charger must be tested.

Appropriate testing intervals are established depending on environmental conditions and the application of the equipment. The testing intervals can be determined independently through a risk analysis or based on the recommendation of the current Electrosuisse Info 3024. For instance, equipment used in a harsh construction site environment might require a testing interval of 6 months, while in office workplaces, a testing interval of 3 years is sufficient as devices such as coffee machines or monitors are rarely moved.

Devices that can only be operated with batteries are excluded, but the charger must be tested.

Machine Testing: Our experts help establish testing intervals and electrically inspect your machines for operational safety, ensuring both personnel and property protection.

Machine Safety is based on the following legal foundations.

• Product Safety Law (PrSG) SR 930.11
• Product Safety Ordinance (PrSV) SR 930.111
• Machinery Safety Ordinance (MaschV) SR 819.14
• EKAS Directive on Work Equipment No. 6512

Even if a machine that was put into circulation as of January 1, 1997 has a CE (Conformity Declaration), the employer must ensure that personnel and property protection is guaranteed. This can be ensured through periodic electrical machine testing at defined intervals.

SN EN 60204-1, however, does not define testing intervals. If the manufacturer’s documentation does not include details on electrical testing, appropriate testing intervals must be established based on the environmental conditions and application of the machines. In this case, the employer determines the testing intervals independently through a risk analysis.

The SN EN 60204-1 describes the following tests for machines that are installed and connected at the site:
• Documentation Review
• Continuity Testing of the Protective Conductor System
• Testing of Loop Impedance and Compatibility with Upstream Overcurrent Protection Devices

Optionally, depending on the type of machine, the following tests may be appropriate, if applicable or feasible:
• Insulation Measurement
• Protection Against Residual Voltage
• Functional Testing of Functional Safety and Emergency Stop or Safety Stop Systems
