Patient area testing.

---

As a Dental or Medical Practice owner, you are required by law and your insurer to routinely have your Body Protected surgical areas professionally tested and certified by a licensed Electrical Contractor.  We at Voltco. Electrical Contractors are fully equipped, insured and experienced to undertake this vital testing to ensure your compliance and the safety of your valued patients and staff.

As per the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3003:2018 

All medical, dental and healthcare facilities are required by law to have their treatment rooms tested and certified every 12 months.

Section 8 of this standard requires routine electrical testing to be completed on all patient areas at intervals not exceeding 12 months. Further to this requirement we also recommend you consult your insurance provider as this may be a condition of insurance.

• Dental rooms, OPG/CBCT rooms
• Doctor consulting rooms
• Medical treatment areas
• Recovery area

If you're unsure if your facility or equipment requires certification, please call Matt to discuss.

• Safety of your patient's and staff is a big risk if your body-protected electrical areas are not functioning correctly. Electrocution, fires and equipment damage can result from faulty or non-compliant electrical installations.
• Failure to comply with legal regulations carry serious ramifications including legal penalties and criminal prosecution.
• Your insurance may be void.
