Periodic Electrical Testing and PAT Testing
Electrical testing is legally required for compliance with:
Electrical Inspection and Testing of Buildings (BS7671)
Fixed wire testing is a periodic requirement by law. With increased responsibility of the owner/occupier compliance has never been more of an essential requirement. 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 and environmental influences. Legislation requires that electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition and therefore must be periodically inspected and tested
Regular testing of portable appliances is a legal requirement and the laws are in place to protect you, your premises and the people around you whether these may be colleagues, employees, tenants or customersElectrical shocks & electrical fires can have devastating consequences and if noncompliance with British Standards is found to be the cause the legal repercussions are unforgiving.

Periodic inspection and testing should be carried out only by electrically competent persons, such as registered electricians.
