Periodic Inspection & Electrical Condition Reports
We offer periodic testing and inspection of electrical installations London wide to comply with 17th Edition British Standard BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations. Electrical installations naturally deteriorate with age and usage so it is vital to check their safety to ensure users are not put at risk. A Periodic Inspection or electrical installation condition report pinpoints any issues that are in breach of the national standard of safety (BS7671 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations).
The required frequency of electrical installation condition reports or periodic inspections varies depends on the type of premises, the following is a guide:

NICEIC Electrical Installation Condition and Periodic Inspection Reports
An NICEIC electrical installation condition report (EICR) or periodic inspection report (PIR) is provided as part of our inspection and testing service as standard. This report states the condition of an electrical installation and will either note it as ‘satisfactory’ or ‘unsatisfactory’.
Should our inspection find any installation unsatisfactory, in that it deviates from the stipulations of BS 7671, we will clearly set down our recommendations for action to be taken together with an indication of its urgency which is graded from C1 to C3 ranging from non-compliant to requiring immediate attention.
Landlord Electrical Safety Checks
To avoid fines, non-compliance with insurance conditions, injury claims or even imprisonment, landlords must adhere to certain electrical safety obligations. Currently there is no law that stipulates that landlords must carry out electrical safety checks annually, but there are however various regulations that do apply, including the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, The Landlord & Tenant Act 1985 and the Housing Act 2004.
The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) enforces these regulations and it is widely recommended that landlords have qualified electrician conduct periodic inspections.

Portable Appliance Testing London
Portable appliance testing (PAT Testing) is an important aspect of every Health & Safety Policy. According to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), 25% of all reported electrical accidents involve portable appliances.
Employers and their employees and the self-employed are required to adhere to The Electricity at Work Regulations and must take reasonably practicable steps to reduce the risk of danger when using any electrical equipment. This calls for regular maintenance, inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances. Under the Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) where appliances are used by employees or the public or are hired, supplied, serviced or repaired, they must be tested to ensure that they are safe for use. This also covers the appliances used by any remote or home workers that you employ as well as agency workers and sub contractors.
How often portable appliance testing takes place depends on the type of appliance and the level of risk it carries as well as how and where it is used. The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) has published its Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment which forms the basis of UK portable appliance testing.
