Electricity at Work Regulation - UK

The Electricity at Work Regulation applies only to England and Wales.

The Regulation

The Electricity at Work Regulation 1989 came into force in England and Wales on the 1 April 1990. This 1989 Regulation places a duty on all employers and self-employed persons to ensure the electrical systems in their premises are constructed, maintained and operated in such a manner as to prevent, so far as reasonably practical, danger. This includes ensuring all electrical equipment connected to such electrical systems are safely constructed, maintained and operated.

All Xerox equipment have been designed to exacting safety standards. They have all undergone a variety of stringent safety tests including earth bond, insulation resistance and electrical strength tests. Xerox Europe manufacturing plants have been awarded ISO 9000 quality certification and are subject to regular audits by the British Standards Institution or equivalent national standards body.

Xerox equipment which has been properly and regularly serviced and maintained should not have to undergo additional specific safety tests pursuant to the 1989 Regulation. Customers wishing to complete safety testing should contact Xerox Europe Technical Centre for advice prior to any test implementation. The address of the Xerox Technical Centre is provided in the previous section, European Union declaration of conformity.

Xerox equipment should, however, be properly and regularly serviced and maintained at all times.
