Fixed wire testing is sometimes referred to as a Periodic Inspection Report and is an important safety procedure which aims to evaluate and report on the conditions of electrical installations. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that all work places carry out periodic electrical inspections and testing to ensure the highest standards of electrical safety possible. As a company it is your responsibility to ensure that your electrical installations comply with all relevant regulations.
This is why it’s important to call in a professional electrical testing and inspection company who will be able to provide you with comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations and BS7671:2008. You do not want to run the risk of falling foul of electrical energy laws. After all, there could be serious consequences if something goes wrong because of unchecked faulty wiring. In best case scenarios you could end up with minor fire damage, but in worst cases both lives and your business could be lost.
When looking for fixed wire testing professionals, it is important to find a company which offers transparent rates and prices. Stay clear of anyone who charges you to carry out an initial site survey of your property. Reputable companies will offer free site surveys to ensure that they can give you as accurate a quote as possible. It is also a good idea to find a company which prices jobs on circuit rates so that you only pay for what has been tested.
