Campus-wide electrical testing of all Residual Current Devices (RCDs) will be taking place in University buildings from Monday 3October 2016. The University must complete this testing to comply with critical electrical safety legislation.
To minimise disruption, testing will take place outwith core office hours, between 20:00-05:00. Each piece of equipment will be switched off during the testing period. Below is a rough schedule of work across campuses. The Maintenance and Electrical team endeavour to contact each department as early as possible to advise of confirmed dates.
For more details please contact Dave Stark (senior electrical engineer) on Ext 2142 or e-mail d.stark@abdn.ac.uk.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
