Fixed Installations

Fixed wiring systems degrade over time as a result of excess use, environmental changes or indeed physical factors such as vibration or impact.   Whilst we often here that a building is being re-wired due to upgrade or refurbishment what many people / businesses don’t realise is that their current system may actually be out of date, in-efficient (costly) and potentially un-safe. 

Whilst it’s recommended that domestic installations (private homes) be checked every 10 years or upon change of occupancy, all companies and landlords should ensure that all commercial installations are inspected in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

By law, in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, precautions must be taken against the risk of death or personal injury from electricity at work activities. Neglecting faulty electrical systems could result in injuries to employees, lost income and fines for organisations found to be in breach of statutory responsibilities. In some instances it may even invalidate insurance claims, whilst the move towards custodial sentences for directors of companies found to be in breach of their obligations is gaining pace.

The periods between testing varies according to the users of the system, the environment it is exposed to and the type of installation. Typical periods are:

• Domestic installations – 10 years or change of occupancy
• Commercial and letting – 5 years or change of occupancy
• Industrial - 3 to 5 years or change of occupancy

The period is determined by the inspector and is dependent on many factors for instance a swimming pools electrical system may require testing every 3 months.

PAT Testing
This is the regular inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances.

The level of testing and inspection required is dependent upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty which in turn is dependent on the type of appliance, usage and the environment in which it is being used.
