With the advent of Electromobility and the associated high-voltage technologies, companies in the automotive industry have a particular responsibility for the safety of their employees when dealing with electrical hazards. A qualified technical responsibility is essential, especially for high-voltage systems with voltages up to 1000 V AC or 1500 V DC.
The Responsible Certified Electrician (VEFK) assumes, on behalf of the company, the technical responsibility for the safe operation of electrical plants and systems, including planning, monitoring, control and the legally compliant delegation of electrotechnical tasks.
This training course provides the knowledge necessary to fulfil the role of Responsible Certified Electrician in accordance with DIN VDE 1000-10. The contents are technically sound, organisationally effective and legally compliant. The focus is on the requirements for organisation and responsibilities, the legally compliant transfer of entrepreneurial obligations and the technical integration of the skilled person for high-voltage systems (FHV) in accordance with DGUV Information 209-093.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the VEFK in the automotive industry with high-voltage systems?
With the increasing use of electric vehicles and HV components, the responsibility for electrical safety in development, testing and production is growing. The VEFK ensures that all work on HV systems is organised, documented and carried out in a legally compliant manner.
Why is a VEFK necessary, especially in the high-voltage environment?
HV components in electric vehicles are subject to stringent requirements regarding qualification, protective measures and testing processes. Only an appointed VEFK with knowledge in accordance with DIN VDE 1000-10 and DGUV Information 209-093 can assume the technical responsibility for this safety-critical area.
For which operational areas is the training relevant?
The training is aimed in particular at employees in development departments, testing facilities and in the manufacture of electric drives and HV components – wherever HV systems are planned, set up, tested or commissioned.
What tasks does the VEFK take on in the automotive company?
They assume responsibility for the legally compliant organisation of all electrotechnical processes, appoint qualified persons for defined activities, delegate tasks, create work instructions and ensure safe processes for handling HV systems – both in series production and in prototype development.
What benefits does the training bring for automotive suppliers and OEMs?
The training enables certified electricians to perform their technical responsibilities in a legally compliant manner. Companies thus minimise liability risks and meet the requirements of the German Product Liability Act and occupational health and safety legislation in connection with Electromobility.
