Earthing is the most fundamental life-safety measure in an electrical installation. During a fault it safely diverts leakage current to ground, protecting both people and equipment. That's why regularly measuring and reporting the earthing system is a legal obligation.
Why is it Mandatory?
Occupational health & safety regulations require the electrical installation and earthing system at workplaces to be checked periodically. Skipping the measurement increases the employer's liability in an accident and creates a non-conformity in audits.
How Often?
Earthing resistance changes over time with soil moisture, corrosion and mechanical effects. So earthing measurement should be repeated periodically (typically annually or at the interval the regulation prescribes). In new installations it's always measured before commissioning.
What SOREAS Earthing Measurement Covers
- Earthing resistance and continuity measurements
- Panel and equipment protective-earthing checks
- Additional thermal/electrical measurements where needed
- Turning the results into a compliant official report
- Improvement recommendations if there are non-conformities
Who Issues the Report?
The earthing measurement report must be issued by an authorized electrical engineer. SOREAS performs the measurement with EMO-registered engineers and provides a valid, defensible report for audits.
