PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
What is periodic inspection?
Periodic inspection is a comprehensive test on the electrical installation in your premises. It can also be described as a “health check” on your electrics. Once Electrical Compliance Solutions complete the report, any defects found in your electrical installation are highlighted and can be rectified promptly so as to prevent danger.
Why do I need a periodic inspection carried out on my electrical installation?
Every Property owner must have a valid Periodic Inspection Report in order to comply with Regulation 89(b) of SI 299 2007 as amended by SI 732 2007.
A Periodic Inspection Report is valid for 5 years in a Commercial Property.
What is involved in periodic testing?
Periodic Testing involved the inspection, testing and certification of the installed electrical circuits within your premises. Initially we carry out a visual inspection and then we use our electrical installation test equipment to ensure results are within Electro Technical Council of Ireland regulation guidelines.
Periodic inspection should be an integral part of your health & safety programme for your organisation.
The 2007 Safety Health & Welfare at Work Regulations specify that every workplace should be inspected periodically to ensure that its electrical installations are safe for people to operate. This is a key requirement in respect of health and safety legislation and many insurance companies are now requiring clients to have these inspections carried out on their premises on an annual basis. R.A.S. Electrical can carry out these inspections and provide a comprehensive condition report on the installation, including recommendations for improvement. Our condition reports are in the form agreed by Safe Electric and the programme of improvement would require that items which need to be improved, rectified or repaired are carried out within the appropriate timescale
