2.2 Obligation of workshop operator
The workshop operator is obliged to ensure that all
measures geared towards the prevention of accidents,
industrial diseases, labor-related health risks are taken
and measures towards making the workplace fit for
people to work in are carried out.
Electrical engineering in Germany is subject to the
accident prevention regulations of the trade associa-
tion "Electrical Plant and Equipment as under DGUV
Vorschrift 3 (previously BGV A3)". In all other countries,
the applicable national regulations acts or decrees are
to be adhered to.
Basic rules
The workshop operator is bound to ensure that all
electrical equipment and operating material is set up,
modified and maintained by skilled electricians only
or under the guidance and supervision of a skilled
electrician in accordance with electrical engineering
principles.
Furthermore, the workshop operator must ensure that
all electrical equipment and operating material is oper-
ated in keeping with electrical engineering principles.
If a piece of electrical equipment or operating material
is found to be defective, i.e. it does not or no longer
complies with electrical engineering principles, the
workshop operator must ensure that the fault is recti-
fied immediately and, in the event that imminent danger
exists, also ensure that the electrical equipment or the
electrical operating material is not used.
Tests (taking Germany as an example):
R
The workshop operator must ensure that all electri-
cal systems and equipment are tested by a qualified
electrician or under the guidance of a qualified elec-
trician to ensure they are in proper working order:
$
Before starting for the first time.
$
After modification or repair before starting for
the first time.
$
At given intervals. Set intervals such as to ensure
that faults that can be expected to occur are
determined in good time.
R
The test is to take the electrical engineering princi-
ples relating hereto into account.
R
Upon request of the trade association, a test manual
is to be maintained into which specific entries are
made.

Danger of electric shock

3.1.1 Voltages, high voltages,
hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles
Hazardous voltages are present both on the
lighting mains and electrical systems of a
motor vehicle. Touching live components
(e.g. the ignition coil) or arcing as the result
of damaged insulation (e.g. as the result of
rodents gnawing on the ignition cables) poses
the risk of an electric shock. This applies to
the secondary and primary sides of the igni-
tion system, the wiring harness with and its
connectors, lighting systems (Litronic) as well
as the connection to the vehicle.
Safety measures:
¶
High voltages on hybrid vehicles and electric vehi-
cles as well as their high-voltage components. Prior
to performing all work, read and heed the informa-
tion in the vehicle documentation.
¶
Replace cables with damaged insulation.
¶
Check the electrical equipment every two years and
immediately deal with any problems.
¶
If possible, carry out all work only with the ignition
off and the engine at a standstill.
¶
Do not touch any live parts when carrying out work
with the ignition on or while the engine is running.
This applies to all connection cables and connections
to equipment on test benches.
¶
Prior to disconnecting the (B-) connection cable from
the engine ground or battery (B–), switch off the
ignition.
