FIXED INSTALLATION TESTING

 

All Fixed Installation testing is carried out in accordance with Institute of Electrical Engineers 17th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008) Guidance Note 3. All our Fixed Installation Test engineers are NAPIT accredited.

 

What Is Fixed Installation Testing?
This is also referred to as “Hard Wire Testing” or as a “Periodic Inspection” Essentially it is the testing of the electrical systems and services that conduct electricity around the building hence the term “Hard Wire Testing”

 

How Often Should This Testing Be Done?
For most commercial and educational establishments the recommended time frame between tests is 5 years. There are exceptions to this for example places of public entertainment and licensed premises as well as industrial premises. Please contact us if you are unsure of the frequency of inspection for your installation.

 

Do I Have To Have My Installation Tested?
Generally the answer to this is yes. Not only is it a recommendation under the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, it is also a recommendation from the Health & Safety Executive and more commonly Insurance Companies are requesting this is carried out. It could affect your Insurance cover and may increase premiums if testing is not carried out.
