32. Electrical safety test
According to the German law on safe machine operation from the 24th June 1986, the VDE regulations
are regarded as the official rules in electronics and are the basis for the regulations for testing electrical
safety of technical devices.
The required electrical tests are established in the regulations for repair, modification and testing of used
electrical appliances (VDE 0701 edition 05.93) section 4.
We are obliged to perform a test in accordance with VDE 0701 on every electrical appliance after repair.
In European foreign countries, there are similar regulations in force which are largely identical with the
requirements of the VDE 0701.
