Fixed wire inspection & testing of installations is necessary as they deteriorate with age. This is due to a number of factors such as damage, wear and tear, corrosion, excessive electrical loading and environmental influences.
It’s easy to take electricity for granted - just flick a switch and the power comes on. But electricity can also be an invisible danger that can cause shocks, severe burns, and death, as well as property damage from fires and explosions. In some cases, there is no warning of the danger to come. Fortunately, with a proper system of inspecting and testing, you can protect your property and the people that use it.
Legislation - Do you comply?
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 which incorporates The Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations 1992, a statutory legal duty is placed on all Employers to ensure that employees and all others are not subjected to risks to their health and safety. In particular , The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires those in control of part or all of an electrical system to ensure that the system is safe to use and it is maintained in a safe condition.
How can we help you comply with this?
Electrical Inspection & Testing.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
Formerly known as a Periodic Inspection Report, (PIR) an Electrical Condition Report will give you a full assessment as to the condition of your electrical installation. An electrical condition report should:
- Reveal overloaded circuits
- Find any potential risk of fire or electric shock
- Highlight inadequate earthing
Inspection and Testing should be undertaken as follows:
Domestic Properties - 10 years
Commercial & Industrial Premises - 5 years
