When these systems operate effectively, <strong>the protections are triggered upon detection of water<\/strong>, thus preventing potential damage to the equipment itself. However, a flood can make the electrical system less safe and efficient, increasing the risk of electrical failures and short circuits. Water can also lead to corrosion of electrical components, increasing electrical resistance.   <\/p>\n<p>In this perspective, the <strong>crucial importance of a meticulous verification<\/strong> of earthing systems is highlighted. This verification not only ensures the integrity of the basic electrical infrastructure, but is a significant first step in ensuring the overall safety of business operations. After a flood, verification becomes a critical activity, regardless of the maintenance or restoration work carried out.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The need for an extraordinary periodic verification<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||25px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>For clarity, we report an excerpt from <strong>Article 7 of Presidential Decree 46<\/strong>2 on the subject of extraordinary verifications:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Art. 7: Extraordinary checks<\/em><br \/><em>Extraordinary checks are carried out on the basis of criteria established by European legislation.<\/em><br \/><em>Extraordinary checks are in any case carried out in cases of:<\/em><br \/><em>a) Negative outcome of the periodic check;<\/em><br \/><em>b) Substantial modification of the system;<\/em><br \/><em>c) Request from the employer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After a disastrous event such as a flood, <strong>employers<\/strong> must seriously consider the <strong>need for an extraordinary periodic inspection<\/strong>.
