What Does Electrical Testing Check?
What We Inspect Within an Electrical Installation
Electrical testing examines the condition and protective arrangements of an installation rather than simply checking whether equipment works.
Wiring & Cable Condition
Inspection can identify damaged, deteriorated, incorrectly altered or otherwise unsuitable wiring.
Distribution Boards
Distribution boards are assessed for condition, circuit identification, protective devices and visible installation issues.
Earthing & Bonding
Testing helps assess protective earthing and bonding arrangements that contribute to electrical safety.
Insulation Resistance
Appropriate testing can identify insulation deterioration or faults within electrical circuits.
Polarity & Continuity
Relevant tests help verify circuit continuity and correct polarity within the installation.
RCD & Protective Devices
Where applicable, protective devices can be assessed to confirm appropriate operation and electrical protection.
Commercial EICR Testing

Commercial EICR Testing provides a structured assessment of an existing electrical installation and records defects, observations and areas requiring further attention.
Installation Condition
Assessing the general condition of wiring systems, accessories, distribution equipment and electrical components.
Defect Identification
Potentially unsafe conditions, deterioration and installation defects are documented during the inspection.
Circuit Testing
Relevant electrical tests are carried out to assess circuit performance and protective arrangements.
Condition Reporting

Electrical inspections for occupied premises where reliable power and safe electrical systems are essential.
Why Electrical Testing & Compliance Matters
Why Regular Electrical Testing Matters for Businesses
Regular Electrical Testing & Compliance helps businesses identify electrical defects, maintain safer installations and plan necessary remedial work before issues disrupt daily operations.
Identify Electrical Defects
Testing can reveal deteriorating wiring, damaged accessories, circuit faults and defective protective equipment.
Understand Installation Condition
Inspection provides a clearer picture of how an existing electrical system is performing and where attention may be required.
Plan Remedial Work
Documented findings help property owners prioritise electrical repairs, upgrades and further investigation.
Reduce Unexpected Failures
Identifying electrical issues earlier can help reduce the risk of avoidable faults affecting business operations.
Maintain Electrical Records
Inspection reports and certification provide useful documentation for property management and maintenance planning.
Support Safe Occupancy
Regular assessment helps businesses maintain electrical installations suitable for their working environment.
When Should a Commercial Installation Be Tested?
When Is Commercial Electrical Testing Required?
After Significant Alterations
Testing may be appropriate after major electrical modifications, new circuits, extensions or substantial installation changes.
Following Installation Upgrades
New distribution equipment, lighting systems or additional electrical capacity may require appropriate inspection and testing.
During Planned Maintenance
Periodic testing can form part of a structured electrical maintenance programme.
When Electrical Faults Occur
Repeated tripping, damaged equipment or unexplained electrical problems may indicate the need for investigation and testing.
Before Property Changes
Electrical inspection can provide useful information when purchasing, leasing or taking responsibility for a commercial property.
Based on Previous Findings
Future inspection requirements can depend on the installation’s condition, environment, usage and previous inspection results.
