The Electricity at Work Regulation (in England 
and Wales) UK ONLY
Electricity at Work Regulations:
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 system in their premises are constructed, 
maintained and operated in such a manner as to prevent, so 
far as reasonably practical, danger. This includes ensuring all 
electrical equipment connected to such electrical systems are 
safely constructed, maintained and operated.
All Xerox equipment have been designed to exacting safety 
standards. They have all undergone a variety of stringent 
safety tests including earth bond, insulation resistance and 
electrical strength tests. Xerox manufacturing plants have 
been awarded ISO 9000 quality certification and are subject 
to regular audits by the British Standards Institution or 
equivalent national standards body.
Xerox equipment which has been properly and regularly 
serviced and maintained should not have to undergo 
additional specific safety tests pursuant to the 1989 
Regulation. Customers wishing to complete safety testing 
should contact Xerox (see page 1) for advice prior to any test 
implementation.
Xerox equipment should, however, be properly and regularly 
serviced and maintained at all times.
