What Does Our Inspection Cover?
Unlike portable appliance testing (PAT), fixed wire testing focuses on the "heart" of your electrical infrastructure:
- Main Switchgear & Distribution Boards: Checking for thermal damage and labeling.
- Circuit Wiring: Continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity checks.
- Earthing & Bonding: Ensuring protection against electric shock.
- Fixed Plant & Equipment: Hard-wired machinery and HVAC power supplies.
The Importance of Periodic Inspection and Testing for Insurance
Most commercial insurance providers in the UK require proof of regular periodic inspection and testing to maintain coverage. Failure to provide a valid EICR following an electrical incident can lead to voided claims. Our Fixed Wire Testing Northampton team provides the digital certification you need to prove your building's wiring—including distribution boards and hard-wired machinery—is safe for continued use.
BS 7671 Standards & Hard Wire Testing Specialists
As hard wire testing specialists, we don't just "tick boxes." Our engineers conduct deep-dive audits of your infrastructure. If your business has recently undergone commercial lighting upgrades or expanded its three-phase power installations, a new round of testing is essential to verify the integrity of the expanded circuits. We provide a clear, coded report (C1, C2, C3) to help you prioritize any necessary remedial works.
Fixed Wire Testing FAQ
Is Fixed Wire Testing a legal requirement?
While the testing itself is the method, the legal requirement is to ensure your electrical system is safe. Most insurers and health and safety inspectors require a valid EICR as proof of this safety.
Does testing interfere with business operations?
We perform as much "dead testing" as possible during off-peak hours or planned shutdowns to minimize downtime for your Northampton business.
Is Your Business Compliant?
Ensure your fixed wiring meets BS 7671 standards with a professional audit.
