Electricity at Work Regulation - UK
The Electricity at Work Regulation applies only to England and 
Wales.
The Regulation
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 systems 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 Europe 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 Europe 
Technical Centre for advice prior to any test implementation. The 
address of the Xerox Technical Centre is provided in the 
previous section, European Union declaration of conformity. 
Xerox equipment should, however, be properly and regularly 
serviced and maintained at all times.
