(in England and Wales) UK ONLY

Electricity at Work Regulations:

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 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 have 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 Xerox Europe Technical Centre (see page 9-9) for
advice prior to any test implementation.
