Periodic inspections and testing (also known as fixed wire testing) should be performed at recommended intervals of 3 or 5 years, or annually by percentage testing. Percentage electrical testing is a popular choice with clients that have larger installations as they find it beneficial from a budgeting perspective.
Regular periodic electrical testing and inspections are essential for detecting any factors impairing, or likely to impair, the safety of an electrical installation. At PASSfm, we offer an unrivaled electrical installation testing service throughout all areas of the North East as well as the UK, and we document our inspection services through a thorough periodic inspection report. The following aspects are all included and considered in our fixed wire testing services and reporting, all adhering to standard fixed wire testing regulations:

The standard procedures for periodic electrical inspections differ from the initial verification of new installation work. This is because rather than accessing the safety and condition of a new installation, periodic testing involves looking at key signs of hazard that have instead arisen over time and with use. Therefore, the following aspects of electrical inspection are looked at closely in our fixed wired testing and periodic inspection reporting:
All of our fixed appliance testing procedures are carried out using state-of-the-art inspection and testing equipment by a trained electrical inspector. We use ‘Amtech Fastest’ software for documentation and reporting, which makes the reporting element of our service expertly accurate and consistent. We offer the provision of photographic evidence of damage against any non-compliance issues that we record and all our multi-function test machines are calibrated regularly to guarantee precise results.
On top of this, all work is carried out in accordance with BS7671:2018 amended 2011, "Guidance Note 3 Inspection & Testing" and the Electrical Safety Council's "Best Practice Guide- Electrical installation condition reporting".
