The site operator (duty holder) must rely on the effective
monitoring of the electrical installation and equipment in
order to comply with the requirements of "The Electricity
at Work Regulations" and local licensing authorities.
In order to satisfy maintenance requirements under these
regulations, taking into account the duty of use of certain
equipment, inspection and testing should be carried out annually
in respect of the following: -
- Electrical equipment in, and associated with, hazardous
areas.
- Portable equipment and other equipment connected to the
supply via a flexible cord and/or plug and socket-outlet.
- Circuits feeding car washes and other external equipment
used by the public.
- Electrical earthing arrangement including measurement
of (PME) diverted neutral current.
Testing will be carried out to ensure that
continuing compliance is maintained and that any defects,
deviations or non-compliances are identified (and optionally
rectified)
Local Authority paperwork will be completed
for licensing purposes. Test data and results will also be
submitted upon completion.
