All commercial premises including educational facilities, offices, retail units/outlets and pretty much any business that has either the general public, residents or employees in requires an EICR test certificate, this has to be carried out at set intervals of time dependant on the type and use of the premises.
As it would suggest a Fixed Wire test is carried out by a suitably qualified person who proceeds to check all electrical circuits and wiring within a business. Once this is done with any faults rectified an EICR certificate is then issued.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671:2008 states that it is required by law to have the wiring structure maintained and tested. There is however a variation in the law with recommendations of how often this is done dependent on the use of the building.
Fixed wire testing is not just a legal requirement it will also give any organisation the peace of mind in knowing that everything is safe and serviceable within the electrical circuits, it also gives insurance companies the assurance that the buildings are being looked after and maintained in the best condition possible. By identifying any issues and having subsequent remedial work carried out you can rest assured your building is operating within the law and should the worst happen will be covered by insurance.
