Machines / interconnected systems

Legally compliant machine inspection according to VDE 0113-1 & 0105-100

Complex electrical machines and interconnected production lines form the backbone of your industrial value creation, but if defects go undetected they pose major liability and downtime risks. In accordance with the German Industrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) and DGUV Regulation 3, you are obliged to provide complete proof of the safe condition of your machinery both before first commissioning and at regular intervals during operation. In the event of damage without a court-admissible inspection record, the result is not only costly downtime, but often personal liability for management and loss of insurance coverage. Bittermann Elektrotechnik GmbH offers you, as a specialized partner, a legally secure solution that protects the availability of your systems while minimizing your liability risk.

Our inspection services in detail

Our employees, qualified in accordance with the German Industrial Safety Ordinance (in line with TRBS 1203), carry out initial inspections according to DIN EN 60204-1 (VDE 0113-1) for new purchases or relocations, as well as thorough periodic inspections in accordance with DIN VDE 0105-100. Our measurement services include precise verification of protective conductor continuity, insulation resistance measurements, and checks of automatic disconnection in the event of a fault. All results are transferred into TRBS-compliant digital documentation, providing your responsible qualified electricians (VEFK) with a reliable basis for risk assessment. In doing so, we assess not only electrical safety itself, but also the normative interfaces to general machine safety.
