welding machines
Testing of welding equipment according to DGUV Regulation 3
welding machines are subject to special safety requirements due to their operating environment and high electrical load.
As a certified testing service, we carry out the standard-compliant testing of your welding equipment according to DGUV V3to protect your employees and avoid operational disruptions.
Why is welding equipment testing so important?
Welding equipment generates high temperatures, strong currents and electromagnetic fields – faulty equipment therefore poses a significant risk:
Risk of electric shock due to defective cables or insulation
Fire hazard due to damaged cables or switches
Downtime for untested machines
Liability risk in the event of work accidents without a valid examination
Our test procedure – especially for welding technology
The inspection is carried out by qualified electricians according to DIN VDE 0544-4, aligned with the requirements of DGUV V3:
Visual inspection
Check for housing damage, broken cables, defective switches, unauthorized modifications
measurement
Testing of insulation resistance, protective conductor current and touch current
Functional test
Testing device safety under load conditions
Documentation & test marking
Digital inspection reports + inspection sticker with next due date
How often do welding machines need to be checked?
General recommendations according to DGUV V3:
In commercial workshops: at least once a year
On construction sites or under harsh conditions: every 3 to 6 months
After repairs or modifications: immediate retest
The exact intervals depend on your risk assessment – we will be happy to advise you.
