Our Compliance division have vast experience in the periodic testing of installations. We have learned over the years to accommodate all the needs of our clients and their installations through tailor made testing schemes. These can range from standard periodic testing in accordance with the IET guidance note 3, to regular preventative maintenance schedules incorporating routine checks and annual testing.

Legislation requires that electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition and therefore must be periodically inspected. This will ensure compliance with the Statutory Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Periodic inspection and testing is necessary because all electrical installations deteriorate due to a number of factors such as damage, wear, tear, corrosion, excessive electrical loading, ageing and environmental influences.

Surveys can be used both alone and as part of a predictive maintenance system to help identify:

Electrical Equipment

• Excessive loading on electrical systems
• Detection of loose or corroded terminal
  connections
• Identification of high resistance joints in control
  panels and control systems
• Overheating of electrical motors, brakes,
  transformers and other components
• All the above can lead to expensive and time
  costly break down of equipment at worst causing
  heat and even the risk of fire
