Why VCA inspection of your small electrical tools is crucial

What starts as a minor defect can sooner or later develop into a dangerous situation

Electric drills, jigsaws, multi-tools and screwdrivers, as well as extension cables and reels: they are the silent forces on every construction site. However, daily, intensive use inevitably leads to wear and tear and damage. What starts as a minor defect can sooner or later develop into a dangerous situation with serious consequences for the safety of your employees.


Is a VCA inspection mandatory for small electrical tools? #

Yes, a VCA inspection for small electrical tools is mandatory in order to minimise daily risks and ensure safety within your company, in accordance with European Directive 2009/104/EC on work equipment.

In Belgium, the directive has been transposed into Book IV of the Codex on well-being at work. Of course, it is not just a matter of complying with the rules, but above all of ensuring a safe working environment that everyone can rely on. An approved tool gives your team the assurance that they can carry out their work safely.
