Safety for electrical equipment
DGUV Inspection
A DGUV inspection is a legally required safety inspection for electrical equipment. Even the smallest defects can have serious consequences – from electric shocks and smoldering fires to property damage to buildings and equipment.
To minimize risks and comply with legal regulations, companies must have their portable electrical equipment inspected regularly.


Inspection intervals vary depending on the area of use: Annual inspections are required on construction sites, while inspection intervals of up to two years may apply in offices. The exact frequency is determined by an individual risk assessment. Failure to conduct inspections properly can result in not only high fines but also liability risks in the event of damage.
Why is the DGUV Inspection so important?
Electrical equipment is subjected to high levels of stress in everyday work. Wear and tear, external influences, or improper use can lead to unnoticed defects that pose serious safety risks. DGUV testing ensures that your equipment is functional and safe to use. The equipment is inspected for visible damage, insulation resistance, protective conductor resistance, and many other safety-relevant aspects.
