Test & Inspection

Do I need a test & inspection of my electrical installations?

Test & inspection refers to procedures used to verify that an electrical installation is safe and meets the requirements of relevant regulations. Namely, it is to confirm that a new electrical installation is correctly installed and safe to be put into service.

How are they done?

This involves inspecting the installation to ensure the correct equipment has been used and is not damaged, and then performing tests to verify that the installation is functioning as expected and meets the requirements of regulations such as BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations).

What should I expect from the test & inspection?

The work will be certified through an Electrical Installation Certificate or a Minor Works Certificate.
