Measurements and tests are among the most important tools to obtain unbiased information on the condition of electrical installations of the electric power industry facilities and electric power consumers. Services of electrotechnical measurements and tests at the electric power industry facilities and power receivers are provided by electrotechnical laboratories run by legal and physical bodies. The study aims to analyze the completeness and sufficiency of the regulatory and legal framework in order to perform electrotechnical measurements at electric power industry facilities and power receivers required to ensure electrical and occupational safety for employees operating electrical installations. Analytical reviews of the effective legislative and other regulatory acts in the Russian Federation, containing requirements for electrotechnical laboratories providing electrotechnical measurements and tests, their qualifications, the procedure of obtaining permissions for admission to commissioning of electrical receivers designed for electrical equipment tests, as well as the procedure of their registration, have been performed. The insufficiency of the regulatory and legal framework to control the operation of electrotechnical laboratories has been identified; the need for its improvement has been marked. The powers of the federal state energy supervision over the compliance of electrotechnical laboratories with qualification requirements and the issuance of registration certificates to them have been considered.
The analysis of the existing regulatory framework for occupational safety has shown that it has been upgraded in recent years and is sufficient to ensure electrical safety when performing electrotechnical operations and measurements. In order to minimize risks of violations and accidents as well as to ensure electrical safety at electric power facilities and power receivers, it is proposed to improve the approach to assessing qualifications of electrical laboratories, their registration, and maintaining the state register of electrical laboratories in Rostechnadzor.
