Standards & legal basis

What we check – and why it is legally required

To ensure that electrical tests are not only useful but also legally compliant We strictly adhere to the relevant standards, regulations and laws.
Here we explain to you, which legal basis the DGUV V3 test is based on – and what this means for you as an operator.

DGUV Regulation 3 (formerly BGV A3)

The DGUV Regulation 3 is the most important legal basis for the testing of electrical equipment. It applies to all commercial and public facilities in Germany.
Key messages:
All electrical systems & devices must be checked regularly
The examination may only by qualified electricians or under their supervision take place
The operator is responsible for safety & documentation
Violations may result in fines, loss of insurance or criminal prosecution

DIN VDE standards – technical testing standards

We test according to the currently valid standards of the VDE (German Electrical Engineering Association). The most important:
