Request a QuoteWhat Is Electrical Installation Testing?
Electrical installation testing is the process of inspecting and testing the fixed electrical systems within a building to assess their safety and condition. This includes circuits, consumer units, distribution boards, earthing, bonding, wiring and connected accessories.
The aim is to identify deterioration, damage, defects, or non-compliance that could create risk to people, property or business operations. It is a vital part of maintaining safe and legally compliant premises.
Need an official report? Electrical installation testing is commonly delivered through an EICR certificate , which records the condition of the installation and any observations found.
