Fixed electrical testing

Electrical testingAll electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They need to be checked and tested regularly to ensure they are safe and in a satisfactory condition for continued use.

These tests are commonly referred to as fixed electrical or periodic inspection and testing and must be carried out by a competent person as defined by the requirements of The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Compliance activities must be carried out correctly, to the relevant standard, and to a schedule to ensure that a building and its duty holder / responsible person is legally compliant.

As duty holder, you cannot simply pass this to a contractor.  You have a duty to manage the contractor by demonstrating a competent procurement process. This includes appointing qualified and capable contractor, undertaking sufficient checks on the activities they carry out and ensuring these are done in a safe and competent manner.

We provide full management and support to deliver compliance on behalf of a duty holder as well as essential system support. We will:

  • develop a comprehensive servicing schedule
  • develop contracts to deliver technical/operational requirements
  • complete procurement exercises to provide best value
  • engage with approved contractors
  • manage of contractors
  • undertake technical inspection and verification of submitted reports
  • ensure timely action and advise on identified remedial measures
  • provide full impartiality on all areas of work, acting in the best interest of the duty holder
  • provide advice and guidance
  • provide online access to reports
