Periodic Testing [return to menu]
Periodic Electrical Testing
At 1st Class Electrical we have extensive knowledge and experience in periodic electrical testing and inspections. Periodic inspections are often enforced or required by law, your insurance company, landlord, mortgage provider, licensing authority or public bodies. Our team of professional qualified electricians will undertake periodic tests and inspections to the highest standard and will issue all relevant certification on completion.
The IEE electrical wiring regulations 17th edition (BS7671) require that periodic inspections and testing of electrical installations are carried out at intervals that are consistent with the type of installation, its use and operation, the frequency of maintenance, and the external influences upon it.
Maximum periods allowed between periodic inspections:
- Commercial Installations - 5 years
- Industrial Installations - 3 years
- Buildings open to the public - 1 year
- External Installations - 3 years
- Caravan Parks - 1 year
- Fire Alarms - 1 year
- Short Term Installations - 3 months
- Site Installations - 3 months
- At the end and start of any new tenancy agreements, to establish a true conditional record
The 17th edition of BS7671:2008 wiring regulations were first published in January 2008. From 1st July 2008 any installation that is tested, designed or constructed will have to comply with the 17th Edition regulatory changes. The amendments bring the UK in line with European standards and the additional requirements are quite wide ranging. This will undoubtedly lead to additional remedial repairs being required to bring installations up to scratch and the tests themselves will take far longer than was previously the case.
To arrange a periodic test on your electrical installation, with our skilled engineers to ensure compliance with the current regulations, please call 01202 604942.
