Electrical Testing & Inspection
There are two main risks associated with electricity; these are electric shock and fire! Over a period of time, electrical wiring and installations can deteriorate. This can lead to overheating which can then develop into causing a fire. Regular testing of electrical installations & appliances protects against, and reduces the risk of injury to personnel and damage to property.
It is required by law for testing and inspection of electrical circuits, supply and appliances to be carried out at regular intervals, and also forms part of any good maintenance schedule. Ashwell Electrical Contractors Ltd pride ourselves on using state of the art test equipment, hold up to date qualifications and provide a first class professional service.
Whilst your installation or appliances may appear to be in good condition, with no obvious faults, it is imperative to establish that all of your equipment and electrical installations are safe and comply with current regulations. Ashwell Electrical Contractors Ltd can provide you with a periodic inspection report, which is very detailed and gives you a comprehensive check of an electrical installation and appliances covering all areas including:
- Earthing and bonding
- Insulation resistance
- Correct use of fuses
- Circuit breakers
- RCDs
- Advice on remedial work
All electrical equipment suffers from wear and tear, even during normal use, and should be tested on a regular basis to ensure and act as proof that it is safe to use.
25% of electrical accidents that get reported involve a portable appliance. The Electricity at Work Regulations place the onus on employers, employees and self employed persons legally, to take all possible practical steps to make sure that no person is put in any danger by using electrical installations or appliances.
A list of recommended testing periods can be found in the latest IEE Wiring Regulations BS7671. These testing periods vary from once a year to once every five years, subject to the environment and the use of the installation.
