Abstract

Electrical testing laboratory is full of hidden hazards. Although there are various safety policies required by legislation or international standards, the accidents in electrical testing laboratory happened frequently. To eliminate the probability of these hazards and accidents, an automatic and comprehensive system is required on top of the safety policies and guidance. In this paper, the current status of hazardous areas in various electrical and electronic testing laboratories was analyzed via a survey in the testing and certification industry. Based on the analytical results, a wireless sensor network combined with various detectors and wireless technology was built to construct a targeted, automatic and convenience wireless sensor system according to the known potential hazards. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed wireless sensor network were evaluated in the real electrical testing laboratory.
