Procedure for the purchase of electrical equipment by the Association (OP18:V4:25/10/2007)
Responsibility
1. All staff purchasing electrical equipment.
Action
1. Where provided, staff purchasing electrical equipment will take energy efficiency rating information into account when deciding which model to order.
2. Staff must be able to justify why they choose any model with a lower energy efficiency rating than other models available. For any individual item costing more than £200, the reason for the choice of an inefficient item must be recorded in writing and kept on file.
3. This standard will be reviewed every 3 year and updated as energy efficiency standards improve.
4. New members of staff must be made aware of this procedure during their induction.
5. Any line manager signing off an invoice for the purchase of an electrical item must ask the member of staff whether energy efficiency has been taken into consideration in making the choice.
Recording
1. A register is being produced to record all white goods which shall be kept on the G Drive titled, ‘Vale electrical items purchased and maintained’.
