Equipment inspections in accordance with DGUV V3 must be carried out by qualified electricians. This is stipulated by the Technical Rules for Operational Safety (TRBS 1203) and the provisions of the Operational Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV).

Employee qualifications also play a decisive role at Piepenbrock:
“We take the requirements of the legislation seriously. Our test engineers are qualified in accordance with TRBS 1203.

Through annual qualification and audits by our responsible electrical engineer (VEFK), we ensure the ongoing qualification of our employees – both personally and professionally,” says Sebastian Sommer, branch manager of the testing service at Piepenbrock.
