Service Details
What is electrical installation periodic inspection in Bursa
Electrical installation periodic inspection is the process of electrically measuring and examining low-voltage power panels, lines, conduit and cable routes, concealed installation, socket and lighting circuits, protective grounding and equipotential installation inside buildings and facilities at defined intervals. In businesses in Bursa, this process is often called electrical installation periodic inspection, internal installation periodic examination, Bursa electrical installation periodic inspection or simply electrical periodic inspection. For related context, see Bursa Transformer Periodic Inspection and Testing.
Periodic inspection and maintenance are different
Periodic inspection and periodic maintenance should not be confused. Periodic examination is an official inspection that reveals whether the electrical installation is safe through independent measurements, tests and visual checks. Periodic maintenance covers repair, tightening, cleaning and material replacement works and does not replace an electrical installation periodic inspection report or technical examination report. For related context, see Bursa Fire Detection Periodic Inspection.
Legal basis and technical standards
The legal basis for electrical installation periodic inspections is the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment dated 25.04.2013 and numbered 28628. In the field, this text is often called the work equipment periodic inspection regulation, electrical installation periodic inspection regulation or electrical periodic inspection regulation. In addition, the Electrical Internal Installations Regulation, TS EN/HD 60364 series standards and manufacturer instructions define test methods, measurement criteria and report format to be applied during electrical installation conformity inspection. For related context, see Bursa Lightning Protection Periodic Inspection.
Which installations and equipment are inspected
Electrical installation covers the entire low-voltage network between the main supply point and final user points. The main distribution panel, sub-panels, cable and busbar systems, cable trays and conduit installation, concealed and surface-mounted lines, lighting and socket circuits, motor supply circuits, protective conductors (PE, PEN), residual current devices, switches and sockets, junction boxes and equipotential bars are components of the electrical installation. Low-voltage power installations in factories, production facilities, logistics warehouses, schools and educational institutions, shopping centers, hotels, offices and service buildings in Bursa are subject to electrical installation periodic inspection obligation. For related context, see Bursa Electrical Contracting Services.
How the inspection interval is determined
One of the most frequently asked questions is how often electrical installations should be inspected and whether electrical installation periodic inspection is mandatory. According to the legislation, periodic inspections of electrical installations must be carried out at least once a year. In risky, humid, dusty, chemically exposed or explosive atmosphere facilities, the interval should be determined more frequently together with the risk assessment of your occupational safety specialist and manufacturer recommendations. In this way, legal obligations are fulfilled and electric shock and fire risks are reduced.
Authorized persons and EKİPNET registration
Electrical installation periodic inspections must be carried out by electrical / electrical-electronics engineers who meet the conditions specified in the regulation or by accredited Type A inspection bodies. Persons performing the inspection are expected to know the Electrical Internal Installations Regulation, relevant TS EN standards and the Mandatory Periodic Inspection Report Format and Criteria for Electrical Group Work Equipment published by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, add calibration certificates of the test devices used to the report and deliver the results as a periodic inspection report that can be submitted in official audits.
Visual examination and site review
Electrical installation periodic inspection is generally carried out in two main steps in the field: first visual examination, then electrical measurements and tests. During visual examination, busbar and cable cross-sections in main and sub-panels, thermal current carrying capacities, tightness of terminals and connection points, panel internal arrangement, concealed and surface-mounted conduit and cable routes, cable trays, junction box connections, labels and warning signs, selection of residual current and other protection devices, panel covers and locking arrangements are examined.
Electrical measurements and function tests
During the electrical measurement and test stage, continuity tests of lines and protective conductors, insulation (megger) measurements, loop impedance and prospective short-circuit current measurements, tripping time and tripping current tests of residual current devices, phase-neutral and phase-earth voltage levels and load distribution checks are performed. When required, hot-spot scanning is carried out with a thermal camera on panel and cable connections to detect heating caused by loose connections or overload.
Grounding and equipotential bonding
Because protective grounding and equipotential installation are integral parts of the electrical installation, grounding resistance, soil resistivity and continuity of equipotential bonding are also measured within electrical installation periodic inspection. In this way, electric shock and fire risks caused by leakage current, insulation faults or potential differences between metal masses are minimized. For more detailed information on grounding installation periodic inspection and soil resistivity measurements, you can review our Bursa grounding installation periodic inspection page.
Conformity report and periodic inspection report
An electrical installation conformity report is the report showing whether a newly installed or extensively revised electrical installation has been installed in accordance with the project, regulations and relevant standards. An electrical installation periodic inspection report is the report prepared as a result of re-examining the existing internal installation at defined intervals and includes the results of measurements and tests. In practice, these documents may also be called technical electrical examination report or electrical technical report.
Report format and audit readiness
At the reporting stage, the Ministry's electrical installation periodic inspection report format and criteria are taken as the basis. Measurement results, observations and photographs are arranged in an electrical installation inspection form structure so that they can be easily followed during audits. Whether your reports should be entered into EKİPNET is evaluated according to equipment type and current legislation; where required, traceability is provided through the EKİPNET registration number.
Site planning and document review
During the periodic examination process, the inventory of your installation is created during the initial site survey; all lines from the main distribution panel to final circuits are classified and checklists are created. Which tests will be performed on which panel, measurement points and devices to be used, such as insulation tester, loop impedance / short-circuit current tester, grounding meter and thermal camera, are clarified at this stage. Previously prepared conformity or periodic inspection reports are also included in the plan when available.
Classification of nonconformities
After periodic examination, detected nonconformities are classified by risk level as critical, important and improvable. For critical-risk findings, restriction or shutdown of equipment use may be recommended; for other findings, corrective actions to be completed within certain periods are described. In this way, you can clearly see which points in your electrical installation need improvement and within what time, and you can check completion during follow-up inspections.
EKİPNET and OHS-KATIP relationship
EKİPNET is the online information system where periodic inspection information for work equipment is monitored by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. The registration requirement and training conditions for persons authorized to perform periodic inspections are defined in announcements and documents published by the Ministry and EMO. Electrical installation reports prepared by EKİPNET-registered engineers meet legal requirements and strengthen your occupational health and safety documentation.
Your occupational safety specialist appointed through OHS-KATIP uses electrical installation reports while preparing risk assessments, annual work plans and emergency plans. Therefore, internal installation reports are among the basic documents of your occupational health and safety processes. A systematic audit working in line with the Ministry's work equipment periodic inspection list and report formats for electrical-group equipment provides important advantages in both audits and insurance processes.
