Electrical Safety Inspections

In general terms, maintenance works are the interventions made in order to minimize the equipment malfunctions in the field, extend their service life and maintain the establishment of the establishment. If the conditions required by the environment and the machinery and equipment operating in these conditions are considered in a manufacturing facility, it is very natural for them to malfunction, deteriorate and complete their operating life. Therefore, it is only possible to prevent possible malfunctions or to replace the equipment whose service life has expired.

In this context, electrical internal installations may cause problems in their connections over time, become obsolete or become unable to function. In order to avoid these situations, electrical internal installations should be checked regularly.

This issue is also covered by the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. In accordance with the aforementioned regulations, employees must be protected from the danger of contact with electricity directly or indirectly due to the construction machinery and equipment used in the enterprise.

In the annexes of the Regulation, it is stated that regular inspections of electrical installations, earthing installations, lightning conductor installations and accumulator, transformer and similar electrical installations should be carried out by electrical engineers, electrical technicians or high technicians (Annex 3).

In order to ensure the continuity of operations and production, to prevent fire risks and to prevent electrical accidents, enterprises should have their internal installation controls checked regularly.

Our company, periodic inspections of internal installation control within the framework of electrical safety inspections, in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations. A few standards considered in these studies are:

Pipes are used for fire protection systems for fire protection of buildings for the following purposes:

·         In sprinkler systems, sprinkler system, hydrant system and fire cabinet system are installed.

·         Foam, gas and dry powder stationary extinguishing systems for the transport of water, gas, foam or similar substances

Steel pipes are generally used for pipe installations. According to the flammability classes of building materials, steel pipes are classified as non-flammable, non-flammable, non-flammable and charcoal.

Nevertheless, if regular and continuous inspections and inspections of the piping are not performed, they may leak at a time when it is needed or may not be used at all. Therefore, in order to avoid large-scale damages in the future, it is obligatory to have periodical maintenance of the piping in accordance with the minimum requirements for health and safety regarding the use of construction machinery and equipment in the workplaces described in the legal regulations. This legal obligation is stipulated in the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment.

In the annex of the mentioned Regulation, Regarding Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls (Annex 3), the control periods of the installations in operation and the control criteria to be considered in these controls and related standards are explained. In this context, pipe installations, which are part of the fire installation, must be inspected and inspected at least once a year unless a specific period is specified in the standards. During these inspections, it is first determined whether the installation meets the criteria shown in the project. Subsequently, it is investigated whether the pipe installation meets the criteria of the following standards published by domestic and foreign organizations:

• TS 9811 Fire extinguishers - Medium and high expansion foam systems - Maintenance and inspection
• TS EN 671-3 Fixed fire extinguishing systems - Hose systems - Part 3: Maintenance of semi-rigid hose reels and flat hose systems
• TS EN 12416-1 + A2 Stationary fire extinguishing systems - Powder systems - Part 1: Component properties and test methods
• TS EN 12845 Fixed fire extinguishing systems - Automatic sprinkler systems - Design, installation and maintenance

Our company conducts the inspections of pipe installations in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations.

If regular and continuous inspections and inspections of ventilation and air conditioning installations are not performed, it may cause problems and may not work at a time when it is needed. In order to avoid these problems, the ventilation and air conditioning installations should be periodically maintained in accordance with the conditions described in the legal regulations. This legal obligation is required by the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment, which regulates the minimum requirements for health and safety for the use of construction machinery and equipment in the workplace.

According to the principles of this regulation published by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in 2013, ventilation and air-conditioning installations are included in the installation article of Annex 3 of the Regulation on Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls. Accordingly, ventilation and air-conditioning installations of any type of installation in the plant, if not specified in the relevant standards for a specific period at least once a year must be checked and examined. During these works, it is first checked whether the installation meets the criteria shown in the project. Then, it is investigated whether these installations meet the criteria in the standards published by domestic and foreign organizations.

In general, ventilation and air conditioning system regular control of the ventilation measurement method, determination of the required outdoor air amount in terms of operating characteristics and anemometer air flow rate and flow rate determination studies are performed.

Inspection of ventilation and air conditioning installations, in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations. A few standards considered in these studies are:

• TS 5895 Rules for the operation and maintenance of central air conditioning and ventilation plants
• TS 12850 Authorized services - Ventilation and air conditioning systems - For air handling units, air conditioners, chillers, fan coils, fans (fans, fans), air purifiers and air curtains etc. - Rules
• TSE CEN / EN 15500-2 Energy Performance of Buildings - Control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications - Part 2: accompanying TR prEN 15500-1
• TS EN 12102 Air conditioners - Heat pumps and dehumidifiers air-driven noise-driven compressor driven by electrical energy - Determination of sound power level

Motopumps are portable pumps which are generally used by firefighters. It is generally used to discharge water in floods or to intervene in fires and to draw water from sources such as lakes, ponds, seas, cisterns, pools and rivers. Motopomes can work with gasoline as well as some types of electricity. In its simplest terms, the motor pump is a motor-driven pump.

Regardless of what purpose they are used, the motopomes need to be checked and inspected regularly and in the same way as any other machine. The motor pumps are a complete machine and, if not maintained regularly, can inevitably fail at unexpected times. The sooner these malfunctions are intervened, the greater the potential for future damage. During the operation of the motopumps, the most common problems are: the strainers may be worn and worn, there may be wear on the impellers and impeller vanes, or the return bearings of the cups may be defective. These problems result in reduced pump flow, reduced head and efficiency losses of the engine.

According to the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment, which regulates the minimum conditions to be taken in terms of health and safety for the use of work machines and equipment in the workplaces, motopumps should be inspected and inspected at least once a year unless a specific period is specified in the standards. Checks to be carried out by authorized persons in test and inspection institutions are carried out primarily to determine whether the motor pump complies with the criteria shown in the project. Then, it is investigated whether it meets the criteria in the standards published by domestic and foreign organizations.

Our company performs the inspection of the motor pumps in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations. Particularly for motopumps used in fire extinguishing works, the following are the basic standards in these studies:
