Homes, offices, shops, factories, churches, schools… there’s no type of premises that doesn’t require electrical testing. How often this should be done depends on the premises. For example, for domestic premises it’s every ten years; for factories every three. Other premises may require more frequent testing. Any electrical work carried out will come with a certificate of conformity for the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations).
Electrical testing must only be carried out by a competent electrician, who will issue a report on any problems and how urgently they need attended to.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is an electrical test carried out on all items with a plug that are over one year old. It is recommended that this is carried out annually by a qualified electrician.
Fire Safety & Compliance NI are qualified to carried out both electrical testing and PAT testing.
