13.6.1 Periodic Inspection
For motorised beds we recommend, as a guideline, that an annual DGUV A3 inspection be carried
out by our qualified Service Centre staff, with a certificate of adherence to the 2% error rate (see
also the DGUV A3 accident prevention regulations: § 5, Table 1B).
IMPORTANT
Qualification of inspectors
In accordance with EN 62353:2008 (VDE 0751-1) (Association of German Electrical Engineers
–
Regulation 0751-1), the inspection results may only be evaluated and documented by experts (a
qualified electrician or, with the use of suitable measuring devices, a person instructed in electri-
cal matters as defined by DGUV A3) with the corresponding knowledge, training and experience.
Such persons must also attest that they have knowledge of the beds that are to be inspected and
of the relevant regulations (medical products act, operator ordinance, safety regulations, instruc-
tion manuals, etc.).
Proceed in the following order when testing according to EN 62353 (VDE 0751-1):
1 Visual inspection
2 Electrical measurement
3 Performance inspection
CAUTION
Risk of injury
If any safety-relevant damage or malfunction is suspected during testing in accordance with DIN
EN 62353 (VDE 0751-1), take the bed out of service at once until it has been repaired or the dam-
aged components have been replaced!
A repeat inspection must be carried out in accordance with the test sheet to determine whether the
damage or malfunction has been rectified.
Only then have the requirements for continued operation been met.
An inspection report template in accordance with EN 62353 (VDE 0751-1) is given in the appendix:
