What is specifically tested during a DGUV V3 inspection?

The inspection covers three steps: (1) visual inspection for external damage, (2) measurement testing (protective conductor resistance, insulation resistance, and where applicable, leakage current) and (3) functional testing. For installations and machinery, the inspection is supplemented by a thermographic analysis.

Which equipment must be tested according to DGUV V3?

Portable appliances: computers, printers, extension leads, floor lamps, coffee machines, kettles, power tools. Fixed installations: electrical distribution boards, room lighting, sockets, RCDs, air conditioning units. Machinery: control cabinets, milling centres, extruders, saws, presses.

What inspection intervals apply under DGUV V3?

Portable appliances: every 2 years (office), annually (production/workshop), every 3 months (construction site). Fixed electrical installations: every 4 years (DIN VDE 0105-100). After every repair or modification: always before being put back into operation.

What happens if defects are found during the DGUV inspection?

Equipment that fails inspection is recorded as 'failed' and may not continue to be operated. PANOVO tec offers an optional repair service directly on-site. After repair, a re-inspection and clearance is carried out.

What documentation do I receive after a DGUV V3 inspection?

A complete, court-admissible inspection report with all measured values (PS 3 software, GMC-I), Excel export available. Each piece of equipment receives a barcode label with the next inspection date.

Does PANOVO tec carry out DGUV V3 inspections nationwide?

Yes - mobile inspection teams are deployed nationwide throughout Germany. Universities, industrial companies and food producers are among the regular customers of PANOVO tec. The scope of inspection and location are coordinated individually.

DGUV V3 SAFETY INSPECTION.

Q: Who is required to conduct DGUV V3 inspections?

All employers are required - regardless of industry or company size. The inspection obligation arises from §5 DGUV Regulation 3, the German Industrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG). Companies under public accident insurance providers inspect according to DGUV V4. In the event of violations, managing directors and board members are personally liable.

As an employer, you are legally required to have electrical equipment, machines and systems regularly inspected. We take care of this for you ‐ with Gossen-Metrawatt equipment, seamless documentation and GMC-I software. Legally compliant, efficient, reliable.
