Securing the test area

1. Mark out the path for pedestrians.
2. Protect the test lead (connection cable), e.g. with cable bridges or rubber mats. The
cables must be protected against damage and there must be no danger of people
tripping.
3. If the connection creates a hazard for the testing personnel and pedestrians, mark them.
4. The area around the test structure (test area) must be demarcated from workplaces and
traffic in such a way that

except for the tester, no other person can remain in the test area,

except for the tester, no other person can access the test area,

persons standing outside the boundary cannot reach the operating elements of the
test system located inside the boundary. (EN 50191)
The minimum height of individual boundaries must be 1 m.
5. If the system is cordoned off from general areas only with ropes, chains or bars, the
entire test structure must be monitored during the test in compliance with EN 50191. If
the test structure includes several local test areas, security guards must be appointed for
each test area. But it is important that the testing personnel and the security guards
understand each other well.
6. Mark the test area and terminals clearly. It must be very obvious that a cable test is in
progress.
7. Make sure that unauthorised persons cannot access the local mains stations.
