According to
the German technical guideline for operational safety "Competent persons specific requirements
- electrical hazards" (TRBS 1203, Part 3), the competent person must have finished electro
technical vocational education must have another similar electrotechnical qualification suitable
for the testing portable electrical equipment ensure protection against electrical hazards.
Test
The test comprises measures for determining and evaluating the actual condition regarding the
safety the device. These demands show that safety-related evaluation portable
electrical equipment basically requires the attributes qualified electrician. The fault current additional
ly detected means the contact current measurement.

Active parts are isolated means reinforced double insulation (basic insulation and additional
insulation). Note: Only the
insulating resistance between the active parts and the accessible conductive parts measured.

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.
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.

Note: Please observe the test circuits!
Insulating resistan ce
Ohmic resistance the insulation (insulating materials) between conductive parts. Protection against dangerous shock current ensured the low voltage and safe isolation
regarding other circuits.

If someone touches parts body electrical equipment (device) that are not connected to
the protective conductor, the contact current the current flowing earth via the person touching
the device. Moreover, the electrotechnically trained person has been

indirect contact, because insulation fault all but impossible. However, such devices might be
provided with accessible conductive metal housing parts. The device might also have accessible
conductive parts which are not connected the protective conductor. The
term professional experience means that the person has least one year experience regarding
the installation, assembly maintenance electrical equipment and/or systems.
