In order to ensure the continuity of operations and production, to prevent fire risks and to prevent electrical accidents, electrical systems should be checked regularly and necessary measurements taken regularly. This is a legal requirement in accordance with the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in 2013. Pursuant to the Regulation, employees must be protected from direct or indirect contact with electricity due to any work equipment used in the enterprise.
In the annex of the mentioned Regulation on Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Inspections (Annex 3), regular inspections of electrical installations, earthing installations, lightning rod installations and accumulators, transformers and similar electrical installations shall be carried out by electrical engineers, electrical technicians or high technicians. required. Regular inspections of other installations other than electricity should be carried out by mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians.
Electrical installation control and measurement studies are carried out to determine the status of the electrical installation used. Earthing installation measurements are made to determine the grounding status of transformer and electrical panels, machine bodies, generators, compressors and similar equipment in operation. Lightning protection system control and measurement works are carried out in order to determine the status of the lightning protection system in the enterprise. In the annex of the said regulation, control periods, control criteria and related standards shall be included.
In general, the following services are provided by the inspection and test institutions within the scope of electrical safety inspections:
- Electrical installation controls
- Panel tests
- Electrical current energy quality controls
- Harmonic energy analysis
- Grounding measurements
- Lightning rod measurements
- Cathodic protection measurements

- Examination of motopumps
- Pipe inspection
- Inspection of ventilation and air conditioning systems
- Internal installation periodic inspection
It is important that all electrical devices and products evaluated within the scope of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), designed for use within certain voltage limits, have electrical safety tests carried out and reported. Producer companies should keep LVD test reports of their products in their technical files so that they can make CE marking, ie marking. Producer companies must make sure that the electrical safety tests of their products are not faced in the market surveillance transactions performed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Industry. and keep the relevant test reports in the technical file of the product concerned. CE marking for low voltage devices which do not have test reports in their technical file is not legal.
