Ensure Safe and Compliant Patient Areas with NES Group Medical’s Routine Electrical Testing Services

At NES Group Medical, we understand that patient safety and regulatory compliance are top priorities for healthcare facilities. Our specialised routine electrical testing services ensure that your patient treatment areas—whether body-protected or cardiac-protected—meet the highest safety standards in accordance with Australian Standards, specifically AS 3003:2018.

Why Routine Electrical Testing in Patient Areas Is Essential

Electrical safety in healthcare environments is critical to protect patients, clinical staff, and vital medical equipment. Regular inspections and testing of electrical installations in body-protected areas and cardiac-protected areas help identify potential hazards before they become serious issues. Conducting these tests at intervals not exceeding 12 months ensures ongoing safety, regulatory compliance, and helps your facility meet accreditation requirements.

The Importance of Body-Protected and Cardiac-Protected Areas

Body-Protected Areas

These include a wide range of healthcare settings such as emergency wards, dental surgeries, imaging rooms, and outpatient clinics. Proper electrical wiring and regular testing in these areas are vital to prevent electrical hazards and ensure patient and staff safety.

Cardiac-Protected Areas

These involve procedures related to cardiac interventions or areas with high-risk electrical equipment. Ensuring these areas are correctly wired and tested is essential to prevent electrical faults that could compromise patient safety and interfere with critical medical procedures.

Comprehensive Testing for Patient Treatment Areas

NES Group Medical offers thorough testing and inspection services, including:

  • Earthing and grounding system checks
  • Line Isolation Monitor (LIM) testing
  • Residual Current Device (RCD) testing, including 10 milliamp medical-grade RCDs
  • Socket outlet and signage verification
  • Classification and signage of patient areas
  • Inspection of electrical wiring and connections

Our expert technicians utilise calibrated equipment to provide detailed reports on the condition and compliance of your electrical systems, helping you maintain a safe environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
