Switchgear Compliance App gives switchgear compliance a defensible audit trail. Every check is timestamped, photo-backed, and aligned to electrical safety NOC and arc-flash risk assessment, so an auditor sees proof in seconds instead of days. Managers see live switchgear compliance status and upcoming statutory due dates across every site.
Switchgear Compliance App evidences switchgear compliance check covering busbar and cable termination hot spots, circuit breaker operation and SF6 or vacuum status, protection relays and settings, mechanical and electrical interlocks, and earthing and arc-flash labelling, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, switchgear findings live on paper and in chat. A switchgear fault such as hot terminations on thermography slips through. An audit then means rebuilding switchgear evidence from folders.
Switchgear Compliance App keeps one record per switchgear and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each switchgear finding is tracked to verified closure. Electrical and substation engineers see switchgear completion and overdue actions across the energy & utilities portfolio. Every switchgear record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Switchgear Compliance App?
A comprehensive switchgear inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Track switchgear compliance with statutory tests, partial discharge logs, and audit-ready evidence. Your inspection should include sections for busbar and cable termination hot spots, circuit breaker operation and SF6 or vacuum status, and protection relays and settings, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Switchgear Compliance App
Compliance evidence is only useful if it is complete and retrievable. Follow these steps for each compliance check:
Open the switchgear compliance template, mapped to electrical safety NOC and arc-flash risk assessment.
Check each requirement against the switchgear and capture photo evidence as proof.
Record the date, location, and inspector identity on every submission.
Raise a corrective action for any gap and track it to verified closure.
Sign off. The record is stored and exportable as an audit-ready PDF.
What Does a Switchgear Compliance Check Cover?
Switchgear compliance evidences the required checks on busbar and cable termination hot spots, circuit breaker operation and SF6 or vacuum status, protection relays and settings, mechanical and electrical interlocks, earthing and arc-flash labelling, and cubicle cleanliness, ingress, and heaters. The photos each switchgear rule expects are mandatory fields. Switchgear renewals are flagged before they lapse. So switchgear compliance stays a documented fact, not an assurance.

What Switchgear Teams Fix When Compliance Evidence Lives in One Place
Switchgear work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Switchgear Compliance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
The switchgear report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting switchgear photos, notes, and compliance check records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the switchgear data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Switchgear reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads switchgear data that is already days old
Every switchgear report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded switchgear reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled switchgear reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent switchgear report format across the estate
When an auditor asks for switchgear records, the team scrambles
An auditor visits and asks for proof of the last six switchgear checks. The records are spread across phones, drives, and a filing cabinet. Compliance is a feeling, not a fact.
Problem
Switchgear evidence scattered across phones and drives
No quick way to prove a switchgear check was done
Switchgear statutory due dates discovered after they pass
Solution
One structured record per check, mapped to electrical safety NOC and arc-flash risk assessment
Audit-ready switchgear PDF export in seconds, not days
Switchgear due dates and overdue checks flagged in advance
The same switchgear defect comes back every cycle
Hot terminations on thermography, breaker mechanism faults, low SF6 pressure, failed or bypassed interlocks on the switchgear are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each switchgear defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The switchgear root cause is never addressed.
Problem
Repeat switchgear defects treated as new every time
No history tying findings to the same switchgear
Budget spent re-fixing the same switchgear problem
Root-cause switchgear work prioritised by evidence
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Switchgear Compliance App cover in a switchgear compliance check?
Switchgear Compliance App keeps switchgear compliance current by evidencing busbar and cable termination hot spots, circuit breaker operation and SF6 or vacuum status, protection relays and settings, mechanical and electrical interlocks, and earthing and arc-flash labelling. The photos each rule expects are mandatory fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. Renewals and statutory due dates are flagged before they lapse. If a check fails, the template opens its follow-up questions and requires photo evidence, so every gap is documented on the spot rather than reconstructed later from memory.
Which switchgear defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The compliance check targets the switchgear failures that matter most: hot terminations on thermography, breaker mechanism faults, low SF6 pressure, and failed or bypassed interlocks. Left unchecked, a fault such as hot terminations on thermography can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so electrical and substation engineers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Switchgear Compliance App support for switchgear work?
Switchgear Compliance App keeps switchgear checks aligned to electrical safety NOC and arc-flash risk assessment. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, electrical and substation engineers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run switchgear checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Switchgear Compliance App is offline-first: teams complete switchgear checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So electrical and substation engineers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a switchgear compliance check was completed?
Every completed switchgear compliance check carries thermographic image, breaker operation record, and relay setting photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, electrical and substation engineers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
