Professional NEN 3140 inspection of electrical work equipment

Electrical safety in the workplace is not optional. Dutch legislation imposes strict requirements on the safety of electrical installations and equipment, as well as on work performed with or on these installations. ELMEC helps you fully comply with these legal obligations by performing professional NEN 3140 inspections.

What is NEN 3140 and why is it important?

NEN 3140 is the Dutch standard that defines safety requirements for electrical work equipment. This standard provides all necessary provisions and procedures that you can use to comply with relevant laws and regulations. Consistently following NEN 3140 has proven to be the best possible way to comply with the Dutch Working Conditions Act and other relevant legislation.
The standard stipulates that electrical work equipment must be regularly inspected for electrical safety. These inspections are essential for preventing electrical accidents, fires and equipment damage. Moreover, this protects your employees from the dangers of electrical shocks and other electrical hazards.
