EN 50678 / 50699 (VDE 0701/0702) — testing of electrical appliances
What is it?
The European standards for verifying electrical equipment safety: EN 50678 after repair, EN 50699 for recurring periodic tests (protective conductor, insulation, leakage currents). In Germany this is the famous "DGUV V3 / VDE testing" market.
What evidence should a candidate have?
Training certificates for appliance testing, experience with test instruments (Fluke, Gossen) and produced test reports with measured values.
Why it matters for staffing
Periodic appliance testing is a steady, billable service line — electricians who run VDE 0701/0702 tests independently are easy to place year-round.
