What is Fixed Wire Testing?

Fixed Wire Testing, also known as the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), is a procedure carried out using specialised testing equipment and a visual inspection to ensure that domestic and commercial electrical installations comply with government legislation, in terms of safety. All precautions must be taken to limit the risk of injury or death as a result of electrical failure. 

Periodic testing of a buildings electrical installation will ensure that your electrics comply with the IEE Wiring Regualtions 17th Edition and are safe to use.

Is an EICR a legal requirement?

Yes! Over time all electrical wiring will deteriorate and will ultimately need to be replaced. This means that periodic testing of all electrical cables and distribution system will require testing to certify safety and are compliant to the current regulations. This will basically rubber stamp your site, confirming that staff and visitors would be safe from injury due to an electrical fault.
