Ensure that your emergency power generator is reliable, safe, and ready for use when needed
An emergency power generator must function reliably when the regular power supply fails. Regular inspection, maintenance, and testing are therefore essential to ensure the safety and availability of your system.
We help organizations inspect and assess emergency power generators and associated systems. In doing so, we consider not only the technical condition but also the usage, applicable requirements, and specific risks associated with the system.
Why is inspecting an emergency power generator important?
Emergency power systems are often an essential part of business continuity. They are used to continue supplying power to critical systems, processes, and facilities when the regular power supply fails.
Depending on the type of system, its use, and its location, various legal, technical, and safety regulations may apply. Regular inspections help determine whether your emergency power generator can operate safely and reliably and whether the system complies with the relevant requirements.
What are the benefits of an inspection?
A timely inspection not only provides insight into the technical condition of your emergency power system but also helps prevent risks and unexpected outages.
With a professional inspection:
- you gain insight into the safety and reliability of your system;
- you reduce the risk of malfunctions and unexpected outages;
- you’ll identify potential defects before they lead to problems;
- you’ll stay informed about the condition and performance of your emergency power generator;
- you’ll have access to up-to-date inspection results and reports;
- you can demonstrate that the system is inspected periodically;
- you’ll receive advice on necessary next steps and improvements.
Advice Tailored to Your System
No two emergency power systems are alike. The appropriate inspection and testing depend on the application, capacity, technical design, and location of the system. That’s why our specialists don’t just assess the generator itself—they evaluate the system as a whole. Based on that assessment, we recommend which inspections, checks, and any additional measures are relevant.
This ensures you receive an approach tailored to your system and the applicable requirements.
Be aware of other uses for the generator
In addition to providing emergency power, a generator set can also be used for other purposes, such as reducing the load on the power grid or optimizing energy consumption at certain times. If a generator is routinely used for other applications, different technical, legal, or inspection requirements may apply.
Not sure which requirements apply to your installation? Our specialists will be happy to assess the situation for you and advise on which inspections and checks are necessary.
