Inspecting
and Testing Certificates
Wiring Regulations stipulate that on the completion of
all electrical installation work carried out by electrical contractors,
whether this be a complete rewire or the addition of a socket outlet
or lighting point:-
Electrical Installation, Electrical Completion or Minor Work
Certificate should be provided to the customer which proves that
the electrical work has been carried out and inspected and tested
to current installation and safety standards. Stirling Electrical
Services provide full detailed certificates on all such work carried
out.
Periodic Inspection
and Testing
We also carry out Periodic Inspection and Testing on electrical
installations, please see the below information for more guidance on this
subject.
__________
No electrical installation, no matter how carefully designed and erected,
can be expected to last forever. Deterioration will take place due to age as
well as due to normal wear and tear. With this in mind, the Regulations
require regular inspection and testing to take place so that the
installation can be maintained in a good and a safe condition. It is now a
requirement of the Regulations that the installation user should be informed
of the need for periodic testing, and the date on which the next test is
due. A notice, fixed at or near the origin of the installation, must state
the required intervals between periodic inspections and tests."
Accessories, switchgear
etc should be carefully examined for signs of overheating. Structural
changes may have impaired the safety of an installation, as may have changes
in the use of space. The use of extension leads must be discouraged, if only
because of the relatively high loop impedance they introduce.
It is important to
appreciate that the regular inspection and testing of all electrical
installations is a requirement of the Electricity at Work Regulations. The
time interval concerned will, of course, depend on the type of installation
and on the way in which it is used. The table below shows the suggested
intervals between periodic tests and inspections.
