Measurement, Regulation & Electro Technology.
IFA is your international partner in automation and process technology.
The contractor carries the full responsibility to test the operating resources and the equipment for their correct condition. It is mandatory to repeat-test all electrical devices in your company according to BGV A3 DGUV since 01.01.1998. The legislator has adopted this regulation in the Code of Social Law (§ 209 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 SGB VII).
The test should not only protect you and your employees from the dangers with the handling of electrical devices but also against the liabilities in the case of accidents, caused by defective machines, and herewith against the economic damages that come as a result of this. Only the proof of the correctly executed test can release you from the liability.
