Testing
Over time, your electrical systems can deteriorate whilst you remain unaware. This could be due to a range of causes such as additions or alterations to your systems, or simply the length of time that has passed. At Inspire Electrics, our team of NICEIC approved contractors carry out electrical testing and inspections to provide renewed safety and peace of mind for your fixed wire and portable appliances. Call us on 07377 519 529 to arrange your electrical testing.
Testing on electrical installations is required to determine whether or not the installation or appliance is safe for use. Electrical testing and inspection provides an insight into the design, condition, and operation of each installation. For the electrical tests and inspections we undertake, digital documentation is sent before leaving the property.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 places a duty of care on employers to maintain fixed wired electrical systems to prevent danger where it may otherwise exist. The benchmark for the Fixed Installation Testing process is BS 7671:2018 Guidance Note 3 (The IEE Wiring Regulations) which provides guidance on how systems must be designed, installed, and maintained.
Employers in the UK have a duty of care to their employees and customers. Undergoing regular PAT testing and complying with the Electricity at Work regulations can help employees to meet this obligation. Insurance companies cannot dispute claims for damage through fire because of insufficient electrical maintenance. The ISO 9000 Quality Assurance Standard requires all companies to comply with the Health and Safety requirements.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT testing) involves the inspection of electrical appliances and equipment within business premises. This includes the testing of portable and handheld appliances, extension leads, and hardwired appliances. The time period between each inspection will vary depending on each workplace, and you should enquire with a professional NICEIC approved electrical contractor to find out when you should arrange your next test.
