CSA Z32 Electrical Testing

CSA Z32 is the Canadian standard for electrical safety and essential electrical systems in patient care areas. It specifies requirements for testing and maintaining electrical systems in healthcare facilities to ensure patient and staff safety.

Frequency of CSA Z32 testing depends on which tests are being performed. Most tests are one-time at construction, with only 3 tests requiring ongoing maintenance:

1) Breaker operation annually,

2) receptacle force every 1-2 years,

3) Ground equipotential every 5 years.

All patient care areas including operating rooms, ICUs, emergency departments, and patient rooms require testing. Our team can help identify all areas that fall under the standard.

Testing duration depends on facility size, but most hospitals can be completed within 1-3 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations.

Third-party verification is required . Testing must be performed by an independent certified testing agent, such as Dynamic Thermal Imaging.
