Electrical Safety Audit
We audit the installation against the CEA Regulations, the state factory rules and the applicable Indian Standards, and rank every finding on hazard rather than on clause number
Electrical Safety
Audit
The electrical safety audit is a statutory requirement across most Indian states, carried out periodically by a competent person and submitted to the inspecting authority. It is also the assessment most likely to be treated as a formality, which is why the reports so often list clause deviations without saying which of them could kill somebody. Our audit covers the installation from the incoming supply through the substations, switchrooms, cable galleries and field distribution to the point of use, and it combines documentation review against the CEA Regulations 2010 and the applicable Indian Standards with field inspection and measurement. We carry thermography on live boards, earth resistance and continuity measurement, and insulation resistance where the schedule allows it, because a clause check without measurement records only what the drawings claim. Findings are ranked on consequence and exposure so that remedial spend follows the hazard, and we support closure evidence back to the inspecting authority rather than handing over a report and leaving.
Electrical Safety Audit workflow
Review the single line diagram, the statutory approvals, the test and calibration records and the previous audit closure status.
Map the installation against the CEA Regulations, the state factory rules and the applicable Indian Standards, clause by clause.
Walk down substations, switchrooms, cable galleries and field distribution, with thermography, earth resistance and insulation measurement.
Verify relay settings against the coordination study, and test interlocks, earthing switches and safety interlocking on their proving.
Rank each non conformance on consequence and exposure rather than on clause number, so remedial spend follows the hazard.
Issue the statutory format report with a prioritised action register, and support closure evidence for the inspecting authority.

Outcomes of Electrical Safety Audit
- We find the defects that carry a shock or arc consequence
- We verify that protective earthing is continuous and adequate
- We test the interlocks people rely on when switching
- We check that isolation practice matches the procedure
- We audit to the CEA Regulations 2010 and the state factory rules
- We issue the report in the statutory format the authority expects
- We map findings to the Indian Standard clause each one rests on
- We support the periodic audit obligation with defensible evidence
- We find the hot joints before they fail
- We identify protection settings that were never verified
- We check maintenance and test records against NFPA 70B practice
- We surface the single points of failure in the distribution
- We prevent the unplanned outage a failed joint causes
- We target remedial spend at the findings that carry consequence
- We reduce insurance exposure on electrical causes
- We avoid the cost of a repeat audit failing on the same findings
