What must be included in an electrical installation test report?

A complete test report must include master data (client, contractor, object), the underlying standards (e.g., DIN VDE or international equivalents), the grid system, and a detailed breakdown of all distribution boards and circuits. Each circuit requires its corresponding measurements (insulation resistance, loop impedance, RCD values), documented defects with photos, a final professional evaluation, and the signature of the qualified tester.

How can AI assist with electrical testing documentation?

The AI does not perform safety evaluations. Instead, it saves time by extracting text from nameplate photos, transcribing spoken defect descriptions into structured text, and mapping photos and measurements directly to the correct circuit without manual typing.

Which standards apply to initial and periodic electrical testing?

Initial testing of new, modified, or extended installations is governed by DIN VDE 0100-600 (or local equivalents). Periodic testing of existing installations is covered by DIN VDE 0105-100. For commercial properties, accident prevention regulations like DGUV Vorschrift 3 also apply.

Can AI replace the technical inspection by a qualified electrician?

No. Performing the physical measurements, evaluating the test results, and making the final safety decision must always be carried out by a qualified electrician. The AI is solely a tool to minimize documentation effort and prevent data entry errors.

1. What is Required for Professional Electrical Installation Testing?

Standard-compliant testing of electrical installations involves much more than just recording isolated measurements. For initial testing (e.g., DIN VDE 0100-600) as well as periodic testing (e.g., DIN VDE 0105-100), the process is divided into three key phases: inspection, testing, and measurement. Each phase must be fully documented in the test report.

Clear mapping of measurement results to the installation structure is critical. A measurement value without context is legally and technically useless. Instead of a simple entry like 'Insulation resistance: 200 MΩ', a professional report requires clear traceability: Sub-distribution EG → Circuit 6 → Living Room Lighting → Insulation resistance: 200 MΩ. This ensures clarity even years after the test.

Recording of the grid system (e.g., TN-S, TT) and installation specifications
Verification of protective measures against electric shock
Detailed mapping of distribution boards, RCDs, and individual circuits
Measurement of protective conductor continuity, insulation resistance, and loop impedance
Testing of RCD trip times and trip currents
Logging and clear mapping of identified defects with photos

2. Smart AI Support: Less Typing, Faster Documentation

The artificial intelligence in ProtocolHero is designed to save electricians from tedious typing and administrative work. It does not perform the technical test itself; instead, it acts as an intelligent assistant on-site. The workflow remains in your hands: you inspect and measure – the AI helps you record everything quickly and in a structured format.

AI support eliminates the need to manually sort handwritten notes and smartphone photos back at the office. All data is structured directly on-site: Installation → Distribution Board → Circuit → Measurement → Defect → Photo → Evaluation. This saves valuable working hours and prevents copy-paste errors.

Extract information from photos: Take a photo of nameplates or old documentation. The AI recognizes the text and helps you import it directly into the digital protocol.
Dictate instead of typing: Use voice-to-text. Simply say: 'Basement distribution board, circuit 7, damaged cover on outlet next to the workbench'. The AI structures this into a clean defect description.
Link defects with photos instantly: Take a photo of a defect. It is automatically mapped to the correct circuit and test point.

3. Common Mistakes in Electrical Test Reports

In practice, incomplete or unstructured test reports regularly lead to liability issues in the event of damage. A generic entry like 'Installation tested – everything OK' has no legal or technical value. Without a detailed breakdown of measurements mapped to specific circuits, the protocol is legally indefensible.

Another weak point is mixed-media documentation: writing down measurements on paper, taking photos on a smartphone, and trying to combine everything days later in the office. During this delay, vital details are forgotten, photos lose their context, and transcription errors occur. A continuous digital workflow directly at the installation site prevents these issues from the start.

Measurements recorded without clear mapping to specific circuits
Missing details about the grid system, installation parameters, or reason for testing
Failure to document the test equipment used, including calibration dates
Defects communicated only verbally instead of being logged in the report
Measurement results documented without a final professional safety evaluation

4. On-Site Digital Workflow: How ProtocolHero Works

With ProtocolHero, you optimize the entire testing and documentation process. As soon as the technician arrives on-site, they open the digital test protocol on their smartphone or tablet. They select the installation, record the distribution boards and circuits, and enter measurements in real-time. Defects are photographed instantly, described via voice input, and structured flawlessly with AI support.

Once all measurements are complete, the qualified electrician performs the professional evaluation, has the client sign digitally, and instantly generates a polished PDF report. The time-consuming trip back to the office to write reports is completely eliminated.

Initial Testing: Structured workflow for inspection, testing, and measurement of new installations or modifications.
Periodic Testing: Efficient recording of recurring safety tests in commercial and residential properties.
Flexible Intervals: The template adapts dynamically to object-specific risk assessments and testing schedules.

Was ProtocolHero zusätzlich für dich übernimmt

Eine Vorlage allein ist erst der Anfang – ProtocolHero macht aus jedem Protokoll einen durchgängigen digitalen Workflow mit KI-Unterstützung, Workflow-Freigaben und revisionssicherem Archiv.

HERO Assistant – KI-Chat für Dokumentenerstellung

Der HERO Assistant ist der eingebaute KI-Chat von ProtocolHero. Du kannst per Spracheingabe ein komplettes Dokument anlegen lassen oder ein bestehendes PDF, Foto oder Word-Dokument hochladen – die KI liest die Struktur aus und baut eine wiederverwendbare Vorlage daraus.

Auto-Fill aus Sprache, Foto und Datei

Beim Ausfüllen kannst du das Dokument per Sprachsteuerung diktieren – die KI ordnet die Inhalte automatisch den richtigen Feldern zu. Oder du lädst Fotos, Scans, Verträge, Datenblätter oder Ausweise hoch: Der HERO Assistant extrahiert die Daten und befüllt das Formular vor – du prüfst und unterschreibst.

Foto- und Video-Upload direkt im Dokument

Zu jedem Bauteil, Messpunkt oder Schadensbild kannst du Fotos und Videos direkt aus der App anhängen. Videos sind besonders nützlich, wenn ein Schadensbild dynamisch ist – ein einzelnes Standbild würde den Befund nicht ausreichend dokumentieren.

Kommentare als Aufgaben – intern und mit dem Kunden

Jede Position im Dokument kann kommentiert und als Aufgabe an einen Kollegen, an dich selbst oder direkt an den Kunden zugewiesen werden. Kommentare können wahlweise rein intern bleiben oder im freigegebenen Kundenlink mitgeteilt werden.

Workflow: Bearbeiter zuweisen, Prüfer freigeben

Dokumente lassen sich an Kollegen weiterleiten und können einen festen Prüfer haben, der die letzte fachliche Freigabe erteilt, bevor das Dokument unterschrieben oder an den Kunden geht.

Activity-Log für lückenlose Nachvollziehbarkeit

Jedes Dokument hat einen vollständigen Aktivitäts-Verlauf: Wer hat wann was geändert, kommentiert, hochgeladen, freigegeben, unterschrieben. Das Log ist auf Wunsch auch im Kunden-Freigabelink sichtbar – ideal für Auditoren, Versicherer und Kunden.

Eindeutige Protocol-ID je Dokument

Jedes Dokument bekommt automatisch eine eindeutige Protocol-ID, mit der es sich zweifelsfrei referenzieren, verlinken und im Audit-Trail wiederfinden lässt.
