Qualification of Inspectors
In accordance with DIN EN 62353:2015-10 (Association of German Electrical Engineers – Regu-
lation VDE 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 verify 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 07511):
1st Visual inspection
2nd Electrical measurement
3rd Performance inspection
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
damaged 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 further operation been met.
An inspection sheet template for testing in accordance with DIN EN 62353 (VDE 0751-1) is given
in the appendix: Inspection Report » 110.
