What is electrical inspection and testing?
Inspection and testing checks that electrical work is safe and meets BS 7671, the UK wiring regulations. We use calibrated test equipment to check insulation, earthing, polarity and protective devices, then issue the right certificate.

Testing new work produces an installation certificate. An EICR is a periodic inspection of an existing installation. See our EICR page for details.
How often should a business test its electrics?
It depends on the type of premises. Many commercial installations are inspected every five years, but some environments need more frequent checks.
