The Electricity at Work Regulations - UK ONLY
The Electricity at Work Regulation 1989 came into force in England and Wales on
the 1 April 1990. This 1989 Regulation places a duty on all employers and self-
employed persons to ensure the electrical system in their premises is constructed,
maintained and operated in such a manner as to prevent, so far as reasonably
practical, danger. This includes ensuring all electrical equipment connected to such
electrical systems safely constructed, maintained and operated.
All Xerox equipment has been designed to exacting safety standards and has
undergone a variety of stringent safety tests including earth bond, insulation
resistance and electrical strength tests. Xerox Limited manufacturing plants have
been awarded ISO 9000 quality certification and are subject to regular audits by the
British Standards Institution or equivalent national standards body.
Xerox equipment which has been properly and regularly serviced and maintained
should not have to undergo additional specific safety tests pursuant to the 1989
Regulation. Customers wishing to complete safety testing should contact Xerox
Limited Technical Centre (see page B1-12) for advice prior to any test
implementation.
XEROX equipment should, however, be properly and regularly serviced and
maintained at all times.
