NEN 3140 and SCIOS

Electrical inspections to NEN 3140, from measurement to report

For electrical contractors and inspection companies: an inspection per installation and distribution board, with a visual check, measurements and work equipment, and a report your customer finds in the customer portal.

What Servaro does

From inspection to repair, per installation

  • Inspection

    The NEN 3140 protocol

    Sections for preparation, visual inspection, measurements, work equipment and result. Every check point is OK, Deviation or Not assessed. For a work order with an installation or distribution board, Servaro suggests this protocol.

  • Interval

    The next inspection on time

    By default a periodic inspection every 60 months and a check every year. The maintenance plan creates the work orders on time.

  • Report

    Signed report

    Once completed, Servaro issues the report as a PDF, in versions. If the technician's certificate or a calibrated measuring instrument is missing, the report is not issued.

  • Defects

    From deviation to repair

    With one click, a deviation becomes a defect with a priority, a person responsible and a deadline. From there you create a quote or a repair work order, and after the repair you verify it.

The protocol

What the technician works through

A measurement shows its unit and limits while it is filled in. A photo is required for a deviation on a distribution board, cord or plug.

  • Preparation: scope agreed, previous report, up-to-date drawings, safe working
  • Visual inspection: boards closed and labelled, no damage or heat, cables protected
  • Measurements: insulation resistance, earth loop impedance, earth electrode resistance and RCD
  • Work equipment: cords and plugs, labels, rejected equipment set aside
  • Result: findings discussed with the customer
Default intervals in the NEN 3140 protocol
Check Default interval
Periodic inspection Every 60 months
Annual check Every 12 months

Default values for planning. If the standard, your risk assessment or the contract says otherwise, you adjust the maintenance plan.

SCIOS

Working under SCIOS certification

If you work to a SCIOS scope, copy the protocol and adapt it: clause numbers per question, your own check points and your own interval. If a second person has to review the report, turn on Only issue the report after review. Your customer then only receives the report after that review.

Straight talk about inspections

Servaro records your own inspections and checks; it is not an inspection body. The protocols are a practical checklist in our own words and do not reproduce the text of the standard.
