FAQ's

Is fixed wire testing a legal requirement?

Fixed wire testing is not prescribed at fixed legal intervals, but UK law requires electrical installations to be maintained safely. Testing provides evidence of compliance.

How often should fixed wire testing be carried out?

Testing frequency depends on building type, use, and condition. Many commercial buildings follow a five-year cycle, with higher-risk sites tested more frequently.

What is an EICR and why is it important?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the safety and condition of fixed wiring, identifying defects and supporting electrical compliance.

What areas are covered during fixed wire testing?

Testing includes distribution boards, circuits, wiring, earthing, bonding, and protective devices to assess overall electrical safety.

Will fixed wire testing cause disruption?

Testing is planned to minimise disruption and can often be carried out in stages or outside normal working hours where required.

What do C1, C2 and FI codes mean on an EICR?

C1 indicates immediate danger, C2 a potentially dangerous issue, and FI further investigation required. These codes prioritise remedial action.

Do you carry out remedial works after fixed wire testing?

Yes. Identified defects can be rectified through electrical remedial works, restoring compliance and improving overall electrical safety.
