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.
