Overview
Almost 80% of Fire Accidents in Cities like Mumbai are Caused by Electrical Failures and Faulty Wiring
Industries and commercial buildings run on electricity all day. Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, poor earthing, or aging switchgear can lead to equipment failure, fire, or a fatal workplace accident. Most of these faults stay invisible until something trips or burns.
According to a BMC (Mumbai) report, 70% to 80% of fires are linked to electrical or wiring faults in metro cities. That's why periodic Electrical System Safety audits are mandatory in Maharashtra.
An electrical safety audit is a systematic check that identifies these issues early. Under the CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023, auditors review the installation from the incoming supply to the final distribution points. They compare its actual condition against what the regulations require. PowerTech is an electrical safety audit company based in Pune, founded in 2014. We have completed 1,200+ audits across India and have a Chartered Electrical Safety Engineer in-house.
- Physical inspection of panels, cables, earthing and distribution, from the incoming supply to the final DB.
- Diagnostic testing is performed using calibrated electrical test instruments to verify the actual safety and performance of the installation.
- Where required, our audit can be supplemented with specialised assessments such as Power Quality & Harmonic Assessment, Protection Coordination / Selectivity Study, Arc Flash Risk Assessment, & more.

What's Included
PowerTech Electrical Safety Audit Checklist
The scope is fixed before we start, so you know exactly what the team checks. If you are floating a tender, we quote against your scope of work too. Below are the systems an electrical safety audit typically covers:
-
Incoming supply and HT/LT panels
Panels, busbars, terminations and enclosures checked physically for condition, clearances and safe access, from the incoming supply onwards.
-
Cables and power distribution
Cable routing, trays, joints and distribution boards inspected down to the final load points, with loading checked against capacity.
-
Earthing system and earth pit testing
Earth pit resistance measured and the earthing network verified. A weak earth can turn a small fault into a shock hazard.
-
Thermography of panels and joints
A thermal imager scans panels, cables and joints under load. Hot spots show loose or overloaded connections before they fail.
-
Protection and switchgear review
Breakers, relays and protective devices checked for correct rating and coordination, so a fault trips where it should.
-
Lightning protection assessment
Lightning arrestors and bonding assessed against IEC 62305, along with the surge path to earth.
-
Arc flash analysis
Where the installation needs it, we run arc flash studies on ETAP-licensed software to quantify the risk at each panel.
-
Fire hazard and UPS checks
Wiring, overloads and equipment condition reviewed for fire risk, together with the UPS installations.

Compliance Mandate
Is an Electrical Safety Audit Mandatory in India?
For many industrial and commercial consumers, yes — and on a five-year clock. Here's how the mandate actually works.
-
Who is clearly covered
Section 54 installations — mines, oil-fields, railways, generating and receiving stations — need periodic testing by the Electrical Inspector. Factories above 250 kW load and multi-storeyed buildings over 15 meters are also included
-
Many DISCOMs: mandatory
Many state electricity boards and DISCOMs have made electrical safety audits mandatory above certain connected-load thresholds.
-
Who may conduct it
A Chartered Electrical Safety Engineer conducts the electrical safety inspection up to the notified voltage, as per the CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023.
-
Everyone else: voluntary
No mandate applies. The case for an audit here is fire and shock risk, not a certificate.

Electrical safety audit: FAQs
Straight answers to what facility teams usually ask:
What is an electrical safety audit?
An electrical safety audit is a systematic assessment of the electrical systems and equipment in a building or an industrial unit. As per the CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023, auditors check the actual condition of the installation, from the incoming supply through panels, cables, earthing and lightning protection to the final distribution points. The goal is to find unsafe conditions and non-compliances, and list the corrective actions that bring the facility to a safe, compliant state.
Is an electrical safety audit mandatory in India?
For certain categories of consumers, yes. The CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023 make periodic electrical inspection and testing of installations mandatory for those categories. Many state electricity boards and DISCOMs have also made audits mandatory above certain connected-load thresholds. For everyone else it is voluntary, and the reason to do it is to find fire and shock risks before they surface.
What is covered in the scope of work?
Incoming supply, HT and LT panels, cables, the earthing system, UPS, lightning protection, and power distribution down to the final load points at the DB. Earth pit testing, thermography of panels and joints, and arc flash analysis are included where the site needs them.
How long does an electrical safety audit take?
It depends on the size of the facility. A small commercial building takes about a day on site. Large industrial facilities take 3 to 5 days or more.
What does the audit report contain?
The status of each system, the gaps and non-compliances found, and corrective actions in priority order. Each observation cites what the regulation says along with its reference number. The report complies with the CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023 and is accepted by state and central government bodies.
Who can conduct an electrical safety audit?
As per the CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023, a Chartered Electrical Safety Engineer conducts the electrical safety inspection up to notified voltage. PowerTech has a Chartered Electrical Safety Engineer in-house, alongside BEE-certified auditors.
What does an electrical safety audit cost?
Cost depends on the type of facility, the connected load and the scope of work. PowerTech provides a customised scope and commercial terms once we have your facility details, with no obligation on your side.
Which standards do you follow?
Audits and reports follow CEA (MSES) Regulations, 2023, IEC 62305, NBCS 2026, IEEE 519-2022, IS 3043 and IS 732, applied as the site and scope require.
