Electrical Installation Condition Report
Fixed electrical installations (light switches, plug sockets, wiring circuits) in premises all deteriorate with time and usage and could possibly become a fire hazard. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 requires fixed electrical installations to be periodically tested and inspected by a qualified engineer. This type of test and inspection is known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report and it is an in-depth test and inspection of the electrical installation reported on a form that complies with current wiring regulations. All of the accessible electrical accessories (socket outlets, switches, etc.) are visually inspected, with 10% of them being inspected internally. This means that the accessories are opened up to expose the wiring and terminals to establish if there is anything to suggest poor installation or quality of materials.
The installation is also inspected for the presence of bonding conductors, the correct type and location of switchgear and that the installation is being used correctly.
Electrical Equipment Testing
Persons responsible for premises must take all necessary precautions to reduce as much as possible the hazards on their premises and the risk from fire. Portable electric appliances need to be tested and maintained in a safe and usable condition to minimise the possibility of becoming defective and starting a fire. These appliances include computer terminals, fans, desk lamps, radios, battery chargers – in fact almost every portable electrical item in the office or workplace.
Firesafe (Fire Safety Management) Consultants Ltd can provide an unobtrusive cost effective testing and tagging service looking at the overall condition of electrical appliances, the condition of the wiring, plug and fuse.
