Fixed wiring testing
by Spartan Contracts
Although an electrical wiring installation may have passed its initial inspection and tests, faults may have developed over a period of time, or it may not comply with the current Regulations since these are regularly updated to take into account technological developments and increasing standards.
Why do electrical installations need periodic testing?
Periodic inspection and testing is carried out with five objectives in view:
- To ensure that people and livestock are saved from the effects of electric shocks and burns
- To prevent potential fire and heat damage caused by a defect in the installation
- To check that the installation has not become unsafe through deterioration or damage
- To make sure that there are no installation defects or evidence of non-compliance with the current Regulations which might be dangerous
- To meet insurance company requirements.
Testing is a valuable service
The requirement for fixed wiring inspection and testing is not a waste of your time: it is designed to protect life and property. As such, it is important that a reliable, experienced and respected electrical installation contractor be employed to carry out this potentially lifesaving task.
Spartan Contracts has both the trained, skilled staff and the wide range of experience that is needed to guarantee the complete safety of your installation.
Proof of inspection
After the installation has been tested and inspected the Spartan Contracts electrician will issue you with an official certificate. This certificate shows particulars of the installation, the test results and other important information which is your proof that your installation complies with BSI and IET Regulations.
