ETS Bar Coded Electrical Tracking System
All electrical assets are tested and tagged with an identifiable bar code for continual identification purposes.
All data collected, including location and test results is integrated into our centrally administered database and ETS can present all data in both electronic and print format.
Ownership of all data collected (legal responsibility) will be that of our clients.
The ETS Asset register and Test Certificates will include the following information:
- Appliance bar code identity
- Description / serial number (if required)
- Location: (including specific vehicle and driver details where relevant)
- Inspection Test Date
- Next Inspection Test Date
- Results of Inspection / Test
