Electrical installation
testing ensures that
all essential aspects of a property's electrical system are in their good
working condition. It also helps ensure that the landlord, property owner, or
employer complies sufficiently with regulatory standards and legal requirements
to avoid fines and penalties due to noncompliance and negligence.
Whether you are a landlord or a business owner, you
surely put a lot of resources into your properties and the appliances/equipment
inside it. With all this financial investment, the last thing you want is to
lose your assets because of fire from sudden electrical surges, overloading,
and other electrical-related problems. More importantly, you also don't also
want to cause harm to other people. The good news is that with regular electrical
installation testing, all these can be avoided. So what can you expect during the
inspection?
Fixed wire testing
Poor electrical work can cause a power surges and
power failures, which can in turn cause appliances to malfunction or get
damaged forever. That's why electricians check the wiring of the property to
see signs of wear and tear. They also test their grounding and look for
potential weather damage or exposure to pests such as rodents. Each
installation is assessed using the standards set forth in the latest version of
BS7671 or the IET Wiring Regulations. Fixed wire testing can protect your
appliances against common electrical problems.
PAT testing
PAT tests involve various processes such as visual
inspection, grounding continuity testing, and soundness of insulation testing.
These tests are done to individual portable appliances in the property to
ensure they are safe to use. Business electrical equipment is also covered in
the inspection for commercial properties. This help make sure they are all
functioning properly and won't cause unnecessary strain on the system.
