ANSWER: The Electricity at Work Regulation 1989 came into force in
England and Wales on the 1 April 1990. This 1989 Regulation places a duty
on all employers and self-employed persons to ensure the electrical
systems in their premises are constructed, maintained and operated in such
a manner as to prevent, so far as reasonably practicable, danger. This
includes ensuring all electrical products connected to such electrical systems
are safely constructed, maintained and operated.

equipment which Xerox Europe and its authorised distributors supplies to
customers, conform with all the relevant safety legislation and standards.
