the equipment subject to verification, providing answers to application questions or interpretation of the relevant legislation
– in-depth study of ethical and professional aspects of carrying
out checks;
-compliance with the organizational and management requirements established by Ministerial Decree 11/4/2011;

The continuous dialogue between the members and the dialogue with the institutions are peculiar characteristics of the WG.
In the workplace, the safe use of systems that could cause an
electrical risk pursuant to Legislative Decree 81/08, also in relation to the characteristics of the places where they are in stalled, is regulated by the execution, pursuant to Presidential Decree 462/01, of checks on the safety devices.
