Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Electrical Switchboard Scanning Required by Law?
While direct mandatory frequency is not set for all switchboards, the WHS Regulation 2011 requires PCBUs to maintain all electrical equipment in a safe condition. Thermal scanning is the industry-recognized best practice for demonstrating due diligence and ensuring compliance with Australian standards.
Does Thermal Scanning require the switchboard to be opened?
Typically, a licensed technician can perform scanning through transparent panels or carefully placed scanning ports. Thermal scanning is non-invasive and does not require opening the main enclosure or disassembling the switchboard while live, minimizing risk and disruption.
Do you offer other related safety services?
Yes. We offer comprehensive solutions including RCD Testing and Test and Tag to ensure all aspects of your electrical safety are covered.
