      Why is periodic electrical testing needed?

      Electrical installations such as plug sockets and internal wiring can deteriorate over time and present a fire risk. Corrosion, accidental damage, wear, tear and ageing can all be factors that result in an electrical fire.

      Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR) 1989 and the Health & Safety Work Act 1974 requires all employers to provide a safe, working environment. To ensure compliance, all electrical products and systems must be maintained through periodic inspections.

      Furthermore, insurance providers may require EICR reports to be completed. Failure to do so can often result in the policy being void.
      An EICR must also be completed if the ownership, tenancy, or primary function of a premises has changed. Tests should also be carried out after any significant changes to the property, for example, new fixed-wire equipment.

      How it works

      Around 35 deaths and 4,200 accidents involving electricity are recorded in the UK every year.

      To help combat this, electrical systems in both commercial and educational premises must be tested periodically according to the British Standard for electrical safety (BS 7671), and a commercial EICR report should be obtained to confirm compliance with current safety regulations.

      Our team of professional engineers will:

      • Identify any defective work from previous installations
      • Observe electrical circuits which may be overloaded
      • Detect any issues with earthing or bonding
      • Conduct fixed wire testing according to the IEE Wiring Regulation BS 7671

      In addition, our engineers can provide quick and cost-effective quotes for any repairs required.
