NEN 3140 Inspections

Electrical installations and work equipment must be inspected regularly. This is not only a legal obligation but also a matter of safety for your employees and business continuity. An outdated or unsafe installation can lead to dangerous situations or unexpected downtime. Reijnhout Elektro arranges NEN 3140 inspections for business clients in South-West Netherlands, so that you know your installation meets the applicable standards.

What a NEN 3140 inspection involves

Under NEN 3140, existing electrical installations must be inspected regularly, based on the safety provisions that applied when the installation was originally built. During the inspection, your entire installation is checked visually and tested by means of various measurements. This applies to the fixed installation as well as to portable work equipment. These inspections regularly reveal defects that endanger the durability of your installation.

By having your electrical installation and work equipment inspected, you gain insight into the bottlenecks in occupational safety, fire safety and more, and into what you can do to improve them.

Inspection report and follow-up

After the NEN 3140 inspection you receive a comprehensive inspection report with the findings. It gives a clear overview of the defects found and recommendations for improvement. That way you know exactly where you stand and what may need to be done to bring your installation in order.

If defects are found, you can also come to Reijnhout Elektro for the repair work. You do not have to deal with several parties, and everything is handled efficiently by people who already know your installation. A periodic NEN 3140 inspection also helps you to spot problems early, so that you are not faced with unexpected downtime or dangerous situations.
