Many managing directors and safety officers assume that DGUV V3 tests must be carried out annually across the board. However, the guidelines of the German Statutory Accident Insurance (DGUV) provide for tiered guideline values based on usage and environmental conditions.
🏢 Offices & Law Firms
With low mechanical stress (e.g. monitors, PCs), a guideline value of 24 months often applies.
🛠️ Workshops & Production
Due to dust, vibration, and heat, the testing cycle for hand tools and cable reels is usually strictly 12 months.
🏗️ Construction Sites & Outdoor Areas
Extreme weather and high risk of damage require testing intervals of 3 to 6 months.
Can Testing Intervals Be Legally Extended?
Yes! If the tester establishes a defect rate of under 2% during regular tests, the responsible qualified electrician (VEFK) can extend the testing interval as part of the risk assessment (e.g. from 12 to up to 24 months). AmpGuard-Zentinel analyzes your historical defect rate and optimizes your testing cycles in a legally compliant manner.
