No Room for Risk: A Sound Business Continuity Plan Is a Must for Healthcare Facilities
In the U.S., for example, hospitals are required to follow National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes that require emergency power supply (EPS) systems be tested at least 12 times a year, every 20 to 40 days, for a minimum of 30 minutes, at specific loads. In Europe, IEC regulations require generator combustion engines to be tested monthly until they reach rated running temperature, with an additional 60-minute annual test.
