What is an Electrical Equipment Register?
An electrical equipment register is a database of electrical items. The register can be used to track and monitor the safety and compliance of electrical equipment. A typical electrical equipment register will record the:
- Manufacturer of the equipment.
- The type of equipment.
- The date the equipment was tested and the results of the test.
- The serial number of the equipment
- The storage location of the equipment
- The status of the equipment (e.g. whether it is in use, out of service, or scrapped).
Why Have an Electrical Equipment Register?
An electrical equipment register should be developed and maintained to ensure that an accurate record is kept of all electrical equipment, their inspections and tests. If new electrical equipment is introduced to a workplace, the electrical equipment register should be updated. Any contractors on a workplace should also have an up-to-date electrical equipment register if using their own electrical equipment at the workplace.
Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment
When inspecting and testing electrical equipment, the procedures and guidelines specified in electrical legislation must always be followed. All electrical equipment that passes inspection should be identified with a tag that is:
- Durable and water-resistant.
- Non-metallic.
- Self-adhesive or well-secured.
- Incapable of re-use and have a bright distinctive surface.
- The tag may be color-coded to identify the period in which the test was performed.
Any equipment which has failed to pass a test should not be used and be tagged with a ‘Do Not Use’ or ‘Out of Service’ tag. Any non-conforming electrical equipment must be repaired or disposed of immediately.
