Foreword
ESTC Standard No 6 is the MOD’s requirements for commissioning, inspection, testing and
maintenance of works for explosives facilities in accordance with JSP 482 Chapter 8. It has been
mandated for these purposes since 2003 when it replaced Defence Estates (DE) Functional
Standard 10 (FS10).
It is produced by the Electrical Safety Working Group (ESWG) of the Explosive Storage and
Transport Committee (ESTC) and references all relevant British and European Standards for
maintenance of electrical installations, lightning protection systems (LPS), ATEX equipment and
conducting and anti-static floors. By referencing all of these relevant standards the end result is a
standardised framework for maintenance frequency and reporting format across the whole of the
MOD’s explosives estate.
All personnel who have responsibilities in the maintenance and management of explosives
facilities shall be fully aware of the contents of this document and JSP482 Chapter 8. The following
is a list of personnel who this document is applicable to; it is not exhaustive and may differ from
site to site:

ESTC Standard No. 6 Part 1 – Electrical: 2013 Edition (Inc Amendment No. 1) 1
1. Introduction to the 2013 Edition

It is MOD policy to align with National and International Standards wherever possible. The key aim
for ESTC Standard 6 is for it to closely align with relevant legislation and civilian standards, and as
such where these standards are updated this document is also subject to change to reflect the
amendments to the civilian standards. The 2013 update is a response to the update of associated
electrical standards.
The industry standards and guidelines referred to below remain central to ESTC Standard 6.
Compliance with these standards is a minimum requirement where indicated. Particular aspects of
ESTC Standard 6 are intended to be an enhancement of the industry standards where necessary.
This takes into account the higher risks which are present for certain MOD explosive storage and
processing applications when compared to the industry applications to which they were intended
for. The applicable standards referred to are:
HSE Approved Code of Practice and Guidance, (L138), Dangerous Substances and Explosive
Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) 2002. This applies to Category A and B areas as defined within
JSP 482 Chapter 8, along with any zone as defined within DSEAR.
HSE Approved Code of Practice and Guidance, (L139), Manufacture and Storage of
Explosives Regulations (MSER) 2005. This applies to all explosives buildings.
IET Wiring Regulation (BS7671:2008) including Amendment 1. This came into force in
January 2012 and all electrical installations thereafter are to be designed and
maintained in accordance with these updated regulations.
BS EN 60079-17, Explosive Atmospheres. This is the European Standard which

prescribes the inspection and maintenance procedures for electrical installations within
hazardous areas, where the hazard may be caused by flammable gases, vapours,
mists, dusts, fibres or flyings. This applies to Category A and B areas as defined within
JSP 482 Chapter 8, along with any zone as defined within DSEAR.
BS EN 62305:2011, Protection against Lightning. This is the European Standard which

prescribes the requirements for design and maintenance of LPS.
This edition of ESTC Standard 6 has therefore been produced to incorporate these latest updates.
The requirements for maintenance of conductive floors have not been changed although greater
clarity and direction has been given.
2. Availability of Standard
Copies of ESTC Standard 6 MOD Forms are available in PDF format on-line from the Defence
intranet at:
2 ESTC Standard No. 6 Part 1 – Electrical: 2013 Edition (Inc Amendment No. 1)
http://defenceintranet.diif.r.mil.uk/Organisations/Orgs/HOCS/Organisations/Orgs/DSEA/Pages/MO
DForms.aspx
All record sheets are available as MOD Forms which can be individually selected by the user and
completed electronically or printed as hard copy templates. Contractors without access to the MOD
Intranet should request copies from their MOD Sponsor/Customer.
3. Applicability of this standard

The procedures and maintenance intervals within this Standard apply to all explosives facilities
licensed by MOD.
For applications overseas, the Host Nation’s regulations will apply only if they are the more
stringent and acceptable to the Licensing Authority.
This Standard applies to fixed installations only, including both 50/60Hz and 400Hz. When testing
400Hz systems care shall be taken to ensure that the personnel performing maintenance activities
possess the knowledge, experience and correct specialist test equipment in order to attain correct
readings.
Installations that fall below the prescribed criteria in this Standard may have their licences revoked
by the Licensing Authority responsible until appropriate remedial action has been completed. The
Inspectors of Explosives (IE) responsible for regulation and licensing of explosives facilities are
detailed in JSP 482 Chapter 3.
4. Purpose of this publication

The purpose of this publication is to provide the user with a guide which:
Is required for the inspection, testing and maintenance of electrical installations for
facilities for the safe storage, processing and testing of explosive substances and
articles.
Complies with the relevant British Standards and associated Codes of Practice.
Facilitates the development of a regular inspection and testing programme for the
electrical installations of explosives facilities to ensure that these continue to function in
a safe manner.
Minimises the risk to explosive substances and articles caused by inadequately

maintained apparatus.
Consolidate and present maintenance, inspection and testing requirements specific to

MOD Explosives Facilities in one document.
5. Types of Explosives Facilities

For details of the types of explosives storage and processing facilities see JSP 482 Chapter 6.
6. Principles of Design, Commissioning &

Maintenance
For information on the principles of Design, Commissioning & Maintenance for explosives storage
facilities see JSP 482 Chapters 5-8.
7. Electrical Categories and Standards for

Electrical Installations
For information on the principles of electrical categories and standards for electrical installations
and equipment within explosives storage and processing facilities see JSP 482 Chapter 8.
8. Safe Working and Competency

All persons working within a hazardous explosives area must be competent (e.g. skilled persons)
as defined in JSP 375 and must be fully versed in the associated relevant standards.
Safety precautions, including competency and qualifications of maintenance staff responsible for
commissioning, inspection and testing shall be in accordance with JSP482 Chapter 8 section 18
‘Commissioning, Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations and Equipment’ and JSP 482
Chapter 18 ‘Works Services, The Control and Protection of Contractors in Explosives Facilities’.
9. Frequency of Inspection & Testing

The Inspection and Testing intervals specified in Table 1 and 2 (pages 18 & 19) of this document
are the minimum requirement. More frequent Inspection and Testing and/or more detailed
maintenance will be necessary where:
There are adverse environmental conditions e.g. high and low temperatures, high
humidity, corrosive atmosphere etc.
There is a high risk of mechanical damage.
The facility is subject to vibration.
Manufacturers of installed equipment recommend a shorter maintenance interval.
There is a requirement to test at varying seasons of the year.
Current and previous test results indicate wear or deterioration.
Other onerous specific site conditions exist.

The status of all electrical inspections shall be posted on the facility notice board to enable building
users to establish building condition. MOD Form 2211 provides an example model form for
capturing this information.
Test and Inspection shall incorporate 100% of final circuits for Initial Verification. For subsequent
periodic testing of very large buildings testing may be carried out on a sampling basis with the
agreement of the HOE or their nominated ESR. Sampling must include as a minimum 33% of
circuits and all circuits must have been tested within a 6 year period. Note that for small facilities
with few circuits 100% shall be subjected to testing at each periodic test date. No definition for
‘large’ or ‘small’ buildings is given in this standard; this is left to the discretion of the contractor, but
common sense should prevail, with as many circuits tested and inspected as practicable, taking
due regard for the hazards associated with explosives buildings.
10. Remedial Action Codes

Amendment 1 of BS7671:2008 (2011), more commonly known as IET 17th Edition Wiring
Regulations, has introduced a new codification procedure for observations found during periodic
inspection and test. The codes now range from C1, C2 and C3 instead of 1 to 4 as per previous
editions.
The definitions of these codes are as follows:
Code C1: Danger present, risk of injury, immediate action required
Code C2: Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required
Code C3: Improvement recommended
Full guidance on the interpretation of these codes is out of the scope of this document. Further
information can be found in the following:
Electrical Safety Council Best Practice Guide Number 4 Issue 3: ‘Electrical installation
condition reporting: Classification Codes for domestic and similar electrical installations’
IET Guidance Note 3 – ‘Inspection & Testing’
IET Wiring Matters Winter 2011 Edition: ‘Observation codes used for periodic inspection
and testing of electrical installations within the scope of BS7671:2008 (2011)‘
While these codes officially are required only for the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
with respect to BS7671 test and inspection, to simplify the defect reporting process of all
maintenance activities within ESTC Standard 6 the codes have been adopted for all other tests and
inspections.
11. Contractors’ Responsibilities to MOD

Upon completing the periodic maintenance activity, the contractor is to notify the Head of
Establishment or their dedicated safety representative (e.g. ESR or HAM) immediately of the
outcome of the work. It is acceptable for this to be in the form of a verbal confirmation as to
whether the installation is satisfactory or not. This must then be followed up by the submission of
the relevant ESTC Standard 6 MOD Forms as detailed below in the Logbook requirements section
within 1 week of the date of testing.
12. Logbook Requirements

An ESTC Standard 6 logbook shall be compiled, updated, controlled and maintained by the FM
provider. These records are the property of the MoD HoE for the site. These master records shall
be made available for inspection by the relevant Inspector of Explosives (IE) or other inspecting
authority.
Original versions of the certificates specified below are also to be provided to the HoE or
nominated deputy for inclusion into the PES logbook.

Job 9 - Earth Electrode Resistance Testing

Job 10 - Earth Fault Loop Impedance (Zs)

Earth Fault Loop Impedance testing shall be carried out in accordance with GN3 section 2.7.15 and
results recorded on MOD Form 2208.
NOTES
1. The line / earth fault loop impedance shall be measured at the following locations as
appropriate:
The origin of the installation
Main Distribution Boards and/or Sub Main Distribution Boards
Final Circuit Distribution Boards
Socket outlets
Each lighting circuit
Isolating switches/control devices for fixed appliances
Exposed conductive parts of fixed appliances
Ring Final Circuits
2. Where it is unsafe to measure earth fault loop impedance due to exposing live terminals, Zs
may be calculated using the Ze + (R1 + R2) formulae, as described in IET GN3.
3. When this test is carried out it is essential that all sensitive equipment is disconnected or
damage to electronic equipment may occur. In the case of Category A, B and DSEAR zoned
installations, frequent disconnection of ATEX certified accessories/equipment may lead to
degradation of such accessories/equipment. Therefore, it is recommended that this test should
only be carried out at a Detailed Inspection for Ex “d”, Ex “e”, Ex “n” and Ex “p” installations. For
Ex “i” installations the test should only be carried out when Visual and Close Inspections
suggest a loss of cable integrity.
Job 11 - Residual Current Devices (RCD/RCBO)

RCDs/RCBOs shall be tested in accordance with GN3 section 2.7.18 and all results recorded on
MOD Form 2208 for annual tests. MOD Form 2212 is to be completed for 3 monthly functional
checks.
NOTES
1. All RCDs/RCBOs are to be tested by a competent person with an approved test instrument
every 12 months. On completion, the test push button shall be operated and verified for its
effectiveness. RCDs/RCBOs that fail the test shall have their respective circuits isolated until
the defective devices are repaired or replaced.
2. RCDs incorporated within socket outlets shall be tested by a competent person 3 using the
integral test device (e.g. push button) prior to each use and with a maximum duration between
tests not exceeding three months. All RCDs incorporated within socket outlets that fail this “trip
test” are to be removed from service until either repaired or replaced.
Job 12 - Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)

1. Test and Inspection of LPS shall be in accordance with the instructions in this section and
results recorded on MOD Form 2209.
2. The testing of LPS shall not be undertaken when a thunderstorm warning is in place or lightning
activity is observed.
3. Before disconnecting the lightning protection earth it shall be tested to ensure that it is not
“live”, using a sensitive testing device (e.g. clamp-on milliammeter).
4. Test Results shall be compared to previous results and trend analysis carried out to ascertain
whether there has been a significant degradation of the earthing.
5. Inspection and testing shall only be undertaken by personnel who:
Have technical knowledge and understanding of the theoretical and practical

requirements for Class 1 LPS installations as described within JSP482 Chapter 8 and
BS EN 62305, and;
Understand the complete requirements of visual inspections and tests as they relate to
the installed LPS.
6. Buildings within the explosive storage & processing area which are exempt from the
requirements of LPS 4, but which have a legacy LPS installed shall be subjected to a visual
inspection only, for the purposes of identifying broken conductors. Where such ‘open circuits’
are found remedial action shall be carried out to fix them.
NOTE
EA Technology in Chester, UK, has developed a LPS training course which is specifically aimed at
explosives buildings on the MOD estate. Details can be found at
www.powerskillscentre.com/power-skills-centre/course-listing and click on the ‘Specialist Courses’
link.
3
Only personnel who have been trained in the operation of the RCD test button and can demon-
strate understanding of its use, i.e. know when the trip test fails, shall complete this test
4
A list of LPS exemptions is given within JSP482 Chapter 8
Part 1 LPS Schematic
Produce a detailed drawing of the LPS clearly showing the following;
Air Termination
Down Conductors
Earth Termination (i.e. Rods, Mats, Ring)
Bonding
Part 2 Visual Inspection 5
Inspect the LPS to confirm that the installation complies with JSP482 Chapter 8 and BS EN 62305.
Part 3 Test Requirements
Establish the electrical integrity of bonds and earth impedance of the LPS as follows:
Inaccessible Joints and Bonds – All joints and bonds which cannot be accessed for
inspection purposes shall be tested to ensure adequate continuity. A maximum
resistance of 0.2Ω shall be allowed across each bond or joint. For earth covered
buildings where the LPS is covered, test between the air termination conductor and the
earth electrode bonds.
Rebar - For structures utilizing steel-reinforced concrete (including pre-cast, pre-

stressed reinforced units), the electrical continuity of the reinforcing bars shall be
determined by electrical testing between the uppermost part and ground level. The
overall electrical resistance shall not be greater than 0.2Ω, measured in accordance
with BS EN 62305-3 Section E.4.3.
System Testing - This is a test of the LPS with all equipotential bonding in place
between the LPS and other facility earthing systems, and with all earth electrodes
connected together. Measure the impedance to earth of the system at random points.
The measured impedance is not to exceed 10Ω. If the impedance to earth of the whole
LPS exceeds 10Ω, in the first instance, a check should be made to confirm that the
earth electrodes conform to BS EN 62305-3 Figure 3.
5
Earth Covered Explosives Buildings will normally have the majority of their air termination and
down conductors undercover of soil and thus will not be visible for inspection. In such cases elec-
trical continuity tests should be carried out between any visible air termination conductor bond and
the earth termination network as part of the ‘inaccessible bonds and joints tests’ and N/A entered
against the visual inspections.
Earth Electrode 6 Testing – All earth electrodes shall be disconnected from the LPS
and their impedances to earth measured. The impedance to earth of each earth
electrode, when disconnected from the LPS, shall not be greater than 10Ω multiplied by
the number of electrodes in the whole LPS earth termination network, and not differ by
greater than a factor of 2 between each neighbouring earth electrode. If the impedance
to earth exceeds the maximum determined value, in the first instance a check should
be made to confirm that the earth electrode conforms to BS EN 62305-3 Figure 3.
NOTES
1. System testing and earth electrode measurements should be made using the fall of potential
method as shown in Figure 1 and as described in IET Guidance Note 3 (section 2.7.13 pages
48-50).
2. Care must be taken when using this method to ensure that valid results are obtained. For
accurate measurements the potential electrode requires to be located outside of the areas of
influence of both the electrode under test and the current probe. This may be difficult to achieve
for the full system test, as good practice dictates that the current electrode is placed at a
distance away from the building equal to 10 times the longest dimension of the earthing
network. Therefore, where sufficiently long test leads are not available, or the distance makes
the fall of potential test method impractical, alternative methods such as the ‘Slope’ method are
to be used. Details of this method are available in a number of online free downloadable
documents. An excellent source for information on this and other methods can be found in
Megger’s ‘Getting Down to Earth’, available at the following website:
www.biddlemegger.com/biddle-ug/GettingDownToEarth-MC.pdf
6
Earth electrodes may exist in a variety of formats, such as mats, single rods or multiple rods (clus-
ters/groups). For isolated electrode testing in situations where such groups have been installed
(see JSP482 Chapter 8 Annex D for details of ‘groups’) the rods which make up the group are to
remain connected to each other but disconnected from the rest of the earth termination network
and LPS, and tested as a single electrode.

Job 13 - Conducting and Anti-Static Floors

1. Test and Inspection of Conducting and Anti Static Floors shall be in accordance with this section
and results recorded on MOD Form 2210.
2. Trend Analysis Results shall be compared with previous year’s results to detect extent of
degradation.
3. New conductive and anti-static floors shall be tested at installation and then at 3 and 9 months
later, and thereafter annually at 11 or 12 monthly intervals to align with LPS or electrical
installation inspections, which ever is more convenient.
4. Where there is evidence of wear or deterioration, the interval between tests should be reduced.
5. For new Conducting floors the initial measurements must be a maximum of 25kΩ to allow for
progressive degradation through life. Thereafter the surface of the floor to the equipotential
bonding strip (EPB) or main earth terminal (MET) is to be less than 50kΩ. Where a floor has
failed the test it shall be cleaned, repaired or replaced as appropriate and retested.
6. For new Anti-static floors the resistance from the surface of the floor to earth is to be between
50kΩ and 2 MΩ.
7. Test Instrument Requirements. The test probe shall be a clean metal electrode of brass or
copper, having a diameter of 25mm +/- 1mm and a mass of 225g +/- 15g. The measuring
instrument shall have an open circuit voltage of nominally 100V dc and be capable of
measuring resistance between values of 0Ω and 100kΩ with a resolution of 1kΩ or better and
an accuracy of +/- 5%. Low resistance test leads of sufficient length to span the facility floor are
required. Advice on suitable test equipment can be provided by TA (Electrical Safety)
Part 1 – Inspection
1. Ensure the site operator has certified the removal of all explosives from the facility, prior to
commencing with the following inspections:
Inspect the complete floor area before proceeding with the test as follows:
(1). Visually inspect the floor for wear, damage or contamination and identify affected
areas for remedial action
(2). Visually confirm the integrity of the equipotential bonding system (EPB), including
that it is routed directly to the Main Earth Terminal (MET) without no supplementary
connections to the LPS
(3). Confirm that the HAPTM is working correctly and positioned directly over the
conducting/antistatic floor
(4). Floor is earthed to the EPB at a minimum of 2 points.
(5). Inspect electrical bonding of benches, floors, chairs, trolleys, mats, workstations,
separately grounded equipment and any other equipment that grounds an operator,
permanently or temporarily.
(6). Socket outlets are RCD protected
2. Provide an outline drawing of the conductive/anti-static floor on MOD Form 2210 (for larger
floor areas use alternative/supplementary pages) noting:
All areas of damage, wear, deterioration and contamination
Positions of the connections from the facility earth to the floor
Chosen test points
Static discharge system with all major features shown.
EPB
Part 2 – Test Method
1. Clean the floor in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedures; ensure the
floor is dry.
2. Using the appropriate test equipment, connect one end of the test instrument to the floor earth
reference point and connect the other to the test probe as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Conducting & Anti-static Floor Test Method

3. Measure the floor resistance once in each area of floor, 1.5m x 1.5m, (Do not mark the floor)
and record the results on MOD Form 2210.
4. Compare with the previous results and investigate any significant changes.
Part 3 - Static Discharge System (Equipotential Bonding)
1. Visually inspect the Static Discharge System and ensure it is:
(1). As low as possible on the walls (no higher than 500mm from ground & below item that
is bonded to it)
(2). Connected to the main earth terminal, or an earthing star point with the electrical
incomer sheath and other earth systems via the shortest possible length
(3). Not connected to the LPS down conductors at any other point
(4). Not connected through the external wall to the LPS
(5). Run in as straight a line as possible with few bends and corners
(6). No bonding connections are made where it is run above an opening
(7). Securely fitted with tight connections
(8). Free of deterioration, corrosion and damage
2. Test the Static Discharge System as follows:

For systems dependent upon the MET or other star point disconnect the EPB from the
MET and all other items which are bonded to it. Next measure the continuity between
each end of the EPB. The resistance must not exceed 0.2Ω. 7
For systems with their own dedicated earth electrodes, in addition to the continuity test
described above, also carry out a Fall of Potential test on the earth electrode as per
Figure 1. The max impedance shall be no higher than 10 Ohms.
Reconnect all bonds which were disconnected.
Electrically confirm the integrity of the EPB system throughout its entire length to the
MET. If the EPB is in sections, i.e. not a continuous run throughout, then continuity of
each section to the MET must be confirmed.
7
The purpose of this test is to demonstrate that equipotential bonding is achieved through the use
of the EPB and not other conductors such as protective conductors or supplementary protective
bonding conductors which could be removed at a later date.

propose alternative frequencies for close and detailed inspection as necessary. If a close
inspection highlights unsatisfactory issues then a detailed inspection may be required. Older
installations or installations which are subject to adverse environmental conditions may require
more regular detailed inspections as deterioration is likely to be more rapid. Some hazardous area
equipment is designed and certified for an extended period, typically up to 10 years, without the
need for any testing. This type of equipment is not intended to be subject to anything other than a
visual inspection. Where this type of equipment is fitted the manufacturer’s guidance should be
