A Properly Functioning Grounding System
An electrical installation is only truly safe when the grounding system is functioning correctly. In the event of an electrical fault, a properly functioning grounding system ensures that dangerous voltages are safely dissipated. This significantly reduces the risk of electrocution due to indirect contact.
Normec conducts independent inspections of electrical grounding systems. During the inspection, we assess whether the system is still performing its protective function correctly and complies with applicable regulations.
Peace of Mind Regarding Your Grounding System
A defective or inadequately functioning grounding system is not always visible, but can have serious consequences for the safety of employees, visitors, and equipment. That is why periodic inspections are of the utmost importance.
During the inspection, our specialists assess, among other things:
- The operation of the grounding system
- The continuity of the protective measures
- The electrical safety of the installation
- The available technical documentation
- The installation’s compliance with applicable regulations
This gives you an objective picture of the condition of your grounding system and any areas requiring attention.

The Right Documentation for an Efficient Inspection
To ensure that the inspection is carried out efficiently, it is important that the relevant documentation is available and up to date. Depending on the installation, this may include:
- The design documentation for the electrical installation
- The installer’s Declaration of Conformity
- The Declaration of Correspondence issued by a qualified technician
- The report on the verification of the structure’s self-protection against lightning strikes of the building
Having this documentation available allows our inspectors to perform a thorough assessment, verify compliance with applicable regulations, and accurately evaluate the safety and performance of the installation.
