What is the Bursa periodic inspection service
The Bursa periodic inspection service covers the measurement, testing and reporting of electrical installations, grounding, lightning protection, transformers, generators, UPS-battery groups and fire detection systems at defined intervals. The purpose is not only to complete documentation, but to identify electrical fire, leakage current, short circuit, weak grounding and unplanned outage risks on site. For related context, see Bursa Generator Periodic Inspection.
This work is a critical inspection process for factories, organized industrial zone facilities, warehouses, shopping centers, hospitals, schools, offices and production areas in terms of occupational safety, insurance, official audits and business continuity. For related context, see Bursa Transformer Periodic Inspection and Testing.
What are periodic inspection and periodic examination
Periodic inspection means checking installations and equipment used in workplaces at defined intervals through measurement, testing, visual examination and document review. Periodic examination is the broader term covering the full inspection and reporting process. For related context, see Bursa Grounding Measurement and Report.
On the electrical side, this scope includes electrical installations, power panels, grounding installations, lightning protection installations, transformers and MV switchgear, generators, UPS-battery systems and fire detection and warning systems. For related context, see Bursa Transformer Maintenance, Testing, Oil Analysis and Fault Repair.
Legal basis and technical standards
Periodic inspection work is evaluated together with Law No. 6331 on Occupational Health and Safety, Annex III of the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment, the Electrical Internal Installations Regulation and the relevant TS EN, TS HD and IEC standards.
The Work Equipment Regulation requires periodic inspections to be performed by authorized persons and the results to be reported. For electrical installations, manufacturer instructions, the facility risk level, previous reports and site operating conditions must also be considered when determining the inspection interval.
Which electrical equipment is inspected
Pow-Sys focuses only on electrical installations and electrically related work equipment on this page. Mechanical work equipment such as forklifts, cranes and pressure vessels is not included in this service scope.
The inspection scope consists of electrical installations and panels, grounding measurements, lightning protection down conductors and air terminals, transformers and MV switchgear, generator control and transfer systems, UPS-battery groups, battery rooms, fire detection panels, detectors, manual call points, sounders and strobes.
When needed, electrical installation, grounding, lightning protection, transformer, generator, battery and fire detection inspections can be planned during the same site visit to reduce business downtime.
How is the inspection interval determined
The periodic inspection interval should not be determined only by assuming once per year. The maximum periods stated in the relevant regulations, manufacturer recommendations, equipment age, frequency of use, environmental conditions, previous examination results and the facility fire or explosion risk must be evaluated together.
For electrical installations, grounding and lightning protection systems, an annual inspection approach is commonly used in practice. However, in heavy industry, chemical, textile, plastic, logistics warehouse and intensive production facilities, the inspection interval should be shortened if the risk is high.
Site survey, measurement and testing process
The work starts with reviewing existing electrical projects, single-line diagrams, previous periodic inspection reports and corrective action records. Then transformers, MV switchgear, main distribution panels, sub-panels, battery-generator rooms, grounding points and lightning protection installations are evaluated on site.
During the measurement stage, tests such as grounding measurement, loop impedance, residual current, insulation, continuity, thermal camera inspection, generator and UPS function checks are performed. Results are compared with regulatory and standard limits and classified as suitable, conditionally suitable or nonconforming findings.
Periodic inspections of electrical installations and electrically related work equipment must be performed by specialists who are authorized in the relevant field, registered in EKİPNET and using measurement devices with valid calibration.
Electrical periodic inspection should not be performed only for a signature. An engineering team with practical industrial facility experience should interpret measurement results together with the real risks of the facility and provide applicable corrective action recommendations.
Reporting and audit readiness
At the end of the inspection, electrical installation periodic inspection reports, grounding and lightning protection measurement reports, transformer, MV switchgear, generator, UPS-battery and fire detection assessments, nonconformity lists and corrective action recommendations are prepared.
Engineer-signed periodic examination reports are core technical documents that can be used in Ministry of Labor audits, organized industrial zone inspections, fire brigade procedures, insurance reviews and internal occupational safety audits.
Service scope in Bursa and surrounding areas
The service area covers Bursa center, Nilufer, Osmangazi, Yildirim, Mudanya and industrially concentrated districts, as well as organized industrial zones such as Nilufer OSB, DOSAB, NOSAB, Hasanaga, Kayapa, Demirtas, Kestel, Gursu and Inegol OSB.
Electrical periodic inspection work can also be organized in nearby regions such as Balikesir, Bandirma OSB, Kutahya, Bilecik, Bozuyuk OSB, Yalova and Eskisehir depending on facility size and planning.
How are Bursa periodic inspection prices determined
Periodic inspection prices are not determined from a fixed list; they depend on facility size, number of buildings, number of panels and transformers, grounding points, number of lightning protection systems, generators, UPS-battery groups, fire detection systems and reporting scope.
For a clear proposal, it is sufficient to share the number of transformers, panels, generators, UPS-battery groups and lightning protection systems together with the approximate enclosed area of the facility. With this information, site duration, measurement scope and reporting needs can be planned more accurately.
Why professional periodic inspection is required
Electrical risks can cause fire, electric shock, production downtime, equipment damage and insurance problems. Regular periodic inspection reveals weak connections, overheated cables and busbars, inadequate grounding, unsuitable lightning protection connections and protection deficiencies at an early stage.
A standard-compliant periodic inspection performed with an engineering perspective strengthens employee safety, reduces fault risk, makes audit preparation easier and makes the electrical infrastructure of the business more sustainable.
