Electrical safety certification is a mandatory procedure for personnel who perform electrical work, namely: installation, commissioning, startup, repair, maintenance and management of electrical installations. You can proceed to them only if you have a permit, which a special commission issues based on the results of certification.
What does certification for group 5 mean?
Confirmation that the employee has successfully passed the certification for the access group is a standard certificate, which contains a mark from the Rostechnadzor inspector. Electricity consuming companies from various fields of activity also receive a logbook for testing the knowledge of employees; electricity supply companies receive a similar logbook plus a knowledge test protocol signed by commission members.
Engineering and technical employees who belong to the V tolerance group have the right to work with electrical equipment with voltages up to and above 1000 Volts. This is the highest group, which allows the employee to manage electrical equipment and make strategic decisions regarding electrical equipment.
Electrical safety clearance group 5 is assigned to personnel with work experience of at least two years (in the absence of secondary education) and one year (with secondary education), as well as employees with secondary and higher electrical education with work experience of at least six months in the previous one (in our case, IV ) group.
Obtaining permission allows you to minimize, or even completely eliminate, risks and accidents that arise due to incorrect actions of workers who have access to electrical installations and power systems.
Purpose and order of assignment
Who is assigned group 3 for electrical safety?
In order for the commission to approve the assignment of category 5, you must demonstrate the proper amount of knowledge and skills in the following areas:
- ability to read electrical diagrams;

- know the standards for interaction with electrical equipment;
- know safety precautions;
- organization of a safe work process;
- training and instructions on labor protection and emergency medical care.
However, theoretical knowledge is not enough. The applicant is also required to have the following experience:
- for persons with basic general education, work experience with the previous group of 2 years;
- for workers with secondary education - 1 year;
- personnel with primary or higher vocational education need to work for at least 6 months;
- For employees with higher professional education with a focus on electrical power engineering, the required length of service is 3 months.

Electrical safety approval: sample certificate
Electrical approval is confirmation of technical training and permission to use electrical equipment.
It has a standard shape. Information about the identity owner is displayed on the left:
- Document Number;
- personal data (full name);
- position and department;
- permitted voltage level;
- date and authority that issued the certificate;
- seal and signature of the boss.
Sample ID
The right side contains information about passing the certification:
- exam date;
- type of inspection;
- admission group;
- grade;
- next exam date;
- examiner's signature.
Where do they take the electrical safety class?
Scheduled examinations are carried out in specialized centers. If the enterprise is large, its own commission can be organized internally.
Standard composition:
- chairman (person with group 5);
- deputy;
- secretary;
- 3 expert members.
Important! A prerequisite for creating a commission is that it must include at least three people who have been certified by Rostechnadzor
The examination must take place strictly within the framework of the approved program. If the manager of electrical facilities confirms his qualification access, then only the Gostekhnadzor commission is allowed to assign a group.
Gostekhnadzor Commission
Materials for preparing for the electrical safety clearance group exam
Each group implies the presence of a certain amount of theoretical skills. Considering that group 5 is the highest, the amount of knowledge demonstrated by the examinee should be maximum. The exam takes place in the form of testing.
To successfully pass the exam, you should study the following blocks:
- Rules for electrical installations;
- Rules for technical operation of consumer electrical installations;
- Interindustry safety rules for the operation of electrical equipment;
- Instructions for the use and testing of protective equipment;
- Interdisciplinary instructions for first aid;
- Fire safety rules.
Note! Modern technologies allow you to take tests online or even download them for convenience. After pressing the “Start” button, the examinee is given a limited amount of time.
What risks does an employer face if employees are not trained in electrical safety?
The performance of official duties by a person who has not passed certification is unacceptable. A fine will be imposed for this. According to Art. 9.11. Code of Administrative Offences:
- officials are required to pay a fine in the amount of 2 to 4 thousand rubles. This group includes the head of the enterprise and the head of the electrical unit;
- individual entrepreneurs pay from 2 to 4 thousand rubles. A decision may also be made to suspend activities for 3 months;
- legal entities, in case of violation, pay from 20 to 40 thousand rubles. A decision may also be made regarding them to temporarily suspend the operation of the enterprise (3 months).
In addition to administrative liability, criminal liability is provided (Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Article 143):
- if serious harm was caused at the workplace;
- if there has been a death of one or more people.
Important! Gostekhnadzor monitors compliance with electrical safety standards and regulations. Labor protection is monitored by Rostrud. In the event of accidents, the inspection commission includes inspectors from both supervisory authorities.
The acquired knowledge and skills must be used in practice. This is the key to electrical safety.
What is better: getting or buying an electrical safety certificate?
Obtaining a permit to work with electrical installations and equipment requires a significant amount of time. This may make you think about purchasing the desired stamp on your existing ID. However, it should be understood that the work performed carries risks, so you should weigh the pros and cons.
Buy or teach
Important! Having bought a group for himself, the employee cannot acquire knowledge for himself. Even if confirmation of an existing group is required, it is better not to ignore the legal requirement and undergo training.
The rules are updated periodically, and it is important for management positions to keep up with the times and monitor any changes. It should be noted that due to the increasing number of cases of purchasing a qualification certificate and corruption, Gostekhnadzor checks the organization’s employees and management personnel much more carefully. By contacting an unscrupulous organization that has agreed to sell a certificate without training and an exam, you risk getting only a “crust.” “False” information will not be entered into the database, and this could result in a fine for both the employee and the employer.
