The Electricity at Work Regulation 1989 came into force in
England and Wales on 1 April 1990. This 1989 Regulation
places a duty on all employers and self-employed persons to
ensure the electrical systems in their premises are 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 are
safely constructed, maintained and operated.
All Xerox equipment has been designed to exacting safety
standards. They have all undergone a variety of stringent safety
tests including earth bond, insulation resistance and electrical
strength tests. Xerox Europe 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 their authorized Xerox
representative.
Xerox equipment should, however, be properly and regularly
serviced and maintained at all times.
