INSPECTION & TESTING
Does your electrical installation comply?
The importance of regular inspection and testing cannot be overstated, but unfortunately it is an area of electrical safety that is very often overlooked. It is now a requirement of the regulations to conduct periodic inspection and testing (max period between inspections is 3 years for industrial premises and 5 year for commercial premises).
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection of the condition of an existing electrical installation to identify any deficiencies against the national safety standard, namely the current edition of BS 7671 Requirements for Electrical Installations.
Every electrical installation deteriorates with age & use. In cases of overload, poor construction or external influences; insulation degradation will accelerate.
Electrical Inspection and Testing is an integral part of STANEG’s comprehensive service, our Engineers have a wealth of experience in this field, helping companies both large and small to conform to the current edition of BS 7671 and therefore comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations (EaWR) 1989.
ENSURE PERSONNEL SAFETY

BE SAFE
A comprehensive Inspection & Testing Programme and Condition Report highlights dangerous faults or potential hazards on an electrical installation which can be addressed and eliminated
ARE YOU COVERED?
Electrical Installation Condition Reporting is a mandatory requirement. It is a prerequisite of the Health & Safety At Work Act 1974. If an Inspection & Testing Programme is not implemented a Company’s insurance policy could be void.
DON’T BE CAUGHT OUT
Regulation 3(2)(b) of the Electricity At Works Regulations 1989 states that a ‘Duty Holder’ must: Comply with the regulations in so far as it relates to matters within his/her control.
