For the intended
testing portable electrical equipment, the competent person must have the required detailed
knowledge electrical engineering well the relevant electrotechnical regulations and must
regularly update this knowledge.
Note: Please observe the test circuits!

The test procedure based the existing protective measure the test sample for which the
efficacy the respective accessible conductive has proven. Moreover, the electrotechnically trained person has been
instructed with regard the required protection equipment and protective measures.

Q alified electrician
A qualified electrician someone who able evaluate the tasks assigned him/her due his/
her professional education, knowledge and experience well the knowledge the relevant
provisions and who able recognize possible dangers.
C person
In terms the German Health and Safety Work Regulation, competent person someone
who has the required expert knowledge for the testing electrical equipment due his/her vo
cational education, professional experience and contemporary occupational activity.
E lec tro tech ally train person
An electrotechnically trained person someone who has been informed and instructed (if neces
sary) the qualified electrician regarding the tasks assigned him/her and regarding possible
dangers case improper behaviour. The
term professional experience means that the person has least one year experience regarding
the installation, assembly maintenance electrical equipment and/or systems. The device might also have accessible
conductive parts which are not connected the protective conductor. The fault current detected
by means the protective conductor current measurement. However, such devices might be
provided with accessible conductive metal housing parts. Devices protection class are equip
ped with mains plug without protective conductor. Thus, the device protected against direct contact.
