Electrical Testing / Periodic Inspection and Testing

The main purpose of any periodic electrical testing is to provide, so far as is reasonably practical, for:

- The safety of persons and livestock against the effects of electrical shock and burns in accordance with the general requirements of BS 7671:2008 Reg.131.1

- Protection against damage to property by fire and heat arising from an installation defect

- Confirmation that the installation is not damaged or deteriorated so as to impair safety

- The identification of installation defects and non-compliance with the requirements of the regulations that may give rise to danger.

A thorough visual inspection of the electrical system will be carried out where practicable
