Fixed wire testing is an inspection of the electrical wiring of a property, during which any electrical safety and compliance issues it may have are identified and reported on. The outcome of fixed wire testing is an Electrical Installation Condition Report, which ensures that owners of buildings are meeting their duty of care to their users and to themselves by complying with Health & Safety guidelines and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
The wiring of buildings can often be taken for granted, yet it can be a major cause of fire, injury or even death through safety issues. When testing is being carried out, it is necessary for parts of the installation to be isolated for periods of time, so at MS Electrical we offer out-of-hours testing to minimise disruption. And to ensure that you remain compliant we also issue a reminder email before your fixed wire testing is due so that you don't miss the deadline. We offer fixed wire testing in Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket.
It is also good practice to test your residual current device - or RCD - which is there to save lives. Here's how to test it to make sure that it'll work when you need it most. And if it doesn't work, please call us to book a fixed wire test with us to find and correct the fault.
