This audit protocol guides technicians through testing surge protection devices, including NiCad battery surge units and MOV or gas arrestor combinations. Steps cover installing temporary bonds, disconnecting and inspecting devices, measuring electrode potential and cell resistance, reconnecting correctly, and recording results in area spreadsheets and databases. Safety requirements include PPE use when handling NiCad batteries, correct removal from the field, and workshop testing. Procedures reference earth electrode measurement standards, pass or fail criteria, proper storage for reinstallation, and compliant disposal of failed units.
