DGUV Regulation 4 (Public Institutions)

Legally compliant DGUV Regulation 4 testing for public institutions

DGUV Regulation 4 (formerly GUV-V A3) governs accident prevention in public institutions and is the counterpart to DGUV V3 in the commercial sector. Whether schools, day-care centers, town halls or municipal depots – public-sector operators and those responsible are under an absolute obligation to provide complete proof of the safety of all electrical systems and equipment. Any incident in areas with high public traffic without a compliant testing record will directly lead to significant liability consequences for the responsible department heads or mayors. Bittermann Elektrotechnik GmbH supports you in professionally securing these sensitive infrastructures and precisely meeting the strict requirements of the accident insurance institutions.
