What is a safe area inspection?
A safe area
inspection is referred to an electrical installation condition report (EICR).
The purpose of this inspection and testing is to determine what if anything
needs to be done to maintain the existing electrical installation in a safe and
serviceable condition. The results of the inspection and testing are clearly
detailed in the report noting any damage, deterioration, defects and dangerous
conditions found in the existing installation that contravene the current addition and requirements of BS 7671.
We utilise
licenced software to log test results onto a certificate when carrying out
fixed wiring testing – this can be carried out by our engineers on their PDA’s
to ensure that test results are captured efficiently and accurately at the time
of test, the certificate is then uploaded to the office for finalisation by our
qualified supervisors. Our software is updated automatically with any changes
in legislation/guidance so that
certificates issued are always the most up to date version possible.
Whilst carrying out fixed wiring testing (EICR) we always ensure that:
- DB schedules are installed and if not, these are installed whilst on site.
- We will label all switches and sockets with circuit references.
- We provide a comprehensive list of defects on the certificate.
- As well as certificates issued, we can provide quotations for rectification of remedial defects.
- Install unique DB references, if required.
- Our engineers have PDA cameras so that any images of defective equipment or installation in areas can be recorded.
- Our engineers are also equipped with thermal imaging cameras to check distribution equipment to highlight any issues.
