Electrical Periodic Testing

The importance of regular inspection and testing of electrical installations cannot be overstated, but unfortunately it is an aspect of electrical safety which is very often overlooked. It is now a requirement of the Regulations that the installer of an installation must tell the user of the need for periodic test and inspection and the date on which such attention is required. All non-domestic electrical installations should be subject to a regular programme of testing and inspection to comply with current legislation. You must ensure that all necessary precautions are being taken to reduce the risk of injury or death through electrical failure.

Periodic inspection and testing should be considered if:

It is required by a governing body or particular directive (ie Licensing authorities, insurance companies, Landlords etc)

Or if you have recently acquired ownership or tenancy of business / workplace premises you may wish to ensure the installation is safe. If you suspect there is a fault or risk of failure, you must take steps to inspect the affected circuits urgently.
