Compliance Testing

Electrical testing is highly important in both commercial and domestic premises. Elec-Check can offer a large range of testing in all types of property, and ensure that all of our engineers are experienced in what they do and are C&G 2391 qualified.

There are many reasons why you need to carry out periodic testing, and many people are not necessarily aware of these reasons. Many insurance companies require a compliance certificate in case of damage before they will accept a claim. Also, when acquiring ownership or tenancy of any premises, you should ensure the any electrical installations are safe.

A rental domestic property should be inspected every year or when a change in occupancy occurs to ensure the correct operation between tenants is taken, and that no changes have been made without your knowledge. This is legally a duty of care to your tenant, so should be taken in high regard when considering electrical testing.

As different types of installation vary, as do the maximum times that they should be tested:

Domestic every 10 years
Commercial every 5 years
Industrial installations every 3 years
Buildings open to the public every year
External installations every 3 years
Caravan parks every year
Fire alarms every year
Site temporary installations every 3 months
Short term installations every 3 months
