Introduction

With the delivery of installations, installation compliance with the applicable regulations is required; During management and maintenance, installation integrity with the guarantee of maintenance of conformity is required. The totality of control measures indicates the degree of compliance. The compliance of the overall electrical operation is measured in seven electrical elements of compliance.

Compliance not only ensures safe business operations, but also availability and efficiency. Electrical operations are "in control".

The seven elements of compliance

The seven elements of compliance are:

1. Installation status
   This takes place based on assessment of inspections and samples carried out.
2. The reliability of information is not only a legal obligation but also necessary for proper operation and maintenance. As built information must be up-to-date and checked against the design specifications.
3. Plant management
   How are the critical control activities handled and are processes defined with associated procedures and instructions.
4. OrganizationIs the total electrical organizational structure clear with corresponding job profiles and training.
5. Project management
   Are the contractors and installers "in control"? They work with a verification plan before the start of the work.
6. Contract management
   When outsourcing work, the responsibility lies with the contracting party. To what extent are all contractors who carry out electrical work within her domain in the picture.
7. Active participation in the compliance committee
   To facilitate the process of continuous improvement, a safety platform is set up in which all parties participate. Here the results of the inspections, incidents, deviations and other electrical issues are discussed.

The status of the electrical operations is measured per element, plotted in a compliance model and periodically evaluated with the parties involved.
