Electrical systems are the backbone of every industrial, commercial, and residential facility. However, poor maintenance, overloading, and faulty designs can lead to electrical shocks, fires, and equipment failures.
iFluids Engineering offers comprehensive Electrical Safety Audit Services in India to identify potential electrical hazards, ensure compliance with statutory standards, and improve system reliability and safety performance.
Purpose of Electrical Safety Audit
An Electrical Safety Audit systematically examines electrical installations to ensure that they meet safety, maintenance, and operational requirements.
The main goal is to assess compliance with CEA (Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, Indian Electricity Rules, and BIS Standards while identifying areas for improvement.
After evaluation, our team provides practical recommendations to enhance the protection, reliability, and efficiency of your facility.
Scope of Study
Our Electrical Safety Audit covers a broad range of assessments, including:
- Identification of electrical hazards (shock, arc flash, and fire risks)
- Verification of compliance with CEA/IE Rules and related statutory standards
- Evaluation of plant lightning protection systems
- Review of electrical load distribution, earthing, and grounding systems
- Examination of maintenance practices and test records
- Safe operation and upkeep of all electrical installations
Recognized for excellence.

How Often is an Electrical Safety Audit Required?
OISD-STD-244 requires facilities handling and storing petroleum products to conduct a complete electrical safety audit once every three years. Earth resistance values need an additional annual check between full audit cycles.
This three-year cycle applies on top of routine preventive maintenance schedules, not instead of them. A facility due for its OISD-STD-244 audit should also confirm alignment with CEA (Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2010 and any state-level electrical inspectorate timelines, since inspection intervals can vary by installation type and license category.
iFluids Engineering tracks your facility’s audit due dates and schedules the next OISD-STD-244 cycle before it lapses, so compliance gaps never become a licensing risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
OISD-STD-244 requires a complete electrical safety audit once every three years for petroleum storage and handling facilities. Earth resistance values should be checked annually between full audit cycles to catch degradation early and keep the facility compliant year-round.
Yes. CEA (Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2010 make periodic electrical audits mandatory for industrial and commercial facilities, and OISD-STD-244 sets the three-year cycle for petroleum depots and terminals. Non-compliance can affect licensing and insurance standing.
Routine maintenance keeps equipment running day to day. An electrical safety audit is a periodic, standards-based review that evaluates compliance, hazard exposure, and system integrity as a whole, then produces a formal report with risk-rated findings and corrective actions.
A full audit examines shock, arc flash, and fire hazards, earthing and grounding systems, lightning protection, load distribution, cable termination, and maintenance and test records. iFluids Engineering benchmarks each finding against CEA, BIS, NFPA, and OISD-STD-244 requirements.
The audit should be carried out by a competent, qualified electrical safety auditor or agency independent of day-to-day facility operations. iFluids Engineering’s team includes certified professionals experienced with CEA, BIS, and OISD compliance across industrial and petroleum facilities.
A lapsed audit cycle can expose a facility to undetected hazards, statutory non-compliance, and licensing risk under CEA and OISD-STD-244. iFluids Engineering tracks audit due dates for clients and schedules the next cycle before it lapses.
