Fact File for Periodic Testing

The 18th Edition Wiring Regulations BS7671- Amendment 1 2018 is the latest edition of the IEE British Standard publications. Every electrician we employ has trained to the IEE regulations and attended refresher courses to bring their expertise up to the latest 18 edition.

Our team of engineers have also a minimum of 10 years on-site experience to be able to work for SparkyMag.

2391 – To carry out Periodic Electrical Inspections in the UK, the engineers require, alongside the BS7671, to have also passed a City and Guilds Level 3 certificate in inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations (2391). This training provides the engineer with the relevant information and procedures regarding an initial visual inspection, verification and certification. This includes collecting data of correct types of cable, fuses – MCBs etc, the presence and correct operation of an RCD trip switch to prevent harm to property and lives from fire and electric shock. The presence and correct size of earthing conductors into the property; to the mains gas and water supply; to any exposed metal parts that may need earth bonding.

The test includes an instrumental verification test using the following instruments:

  • Voltage tester to measure Volts
  • Continuity tester to measure ohms
  • Insulation resistance to measure M ohms
  • Earth loop impendence tester to measure ohms
  • RCD tester to measure mS

A full test on the supply of your home/business to BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations including fuse board, earthing arrangements, wiring, fixtures and fittings (i.e. lights, sockets, switches). Installation methods, loose connections etc.

The following tests are carried out:

  • Continuity of earth conductors
  • Continuity of ring final conductors
  • Polarity
  • Installation resistance – to check for any arcing or moisture between phase – phase earth
  • Earth loop impedance – to verify path of earth
  • RCD test to check tripping times and mA settings

The test involves testing circuits at the consumer unit and various points around the property and includes a visual inspection as well as an instrumental test. Also the supplies characteristics are tested to ensure a good earth and path of fault current is present. These tests are called Ze and PSC (Prospective Short Circuit). These tests verify a circuit has continued earth path to each fitting and that the RCD operates within the specified time and current. Please feel free to contact us for any further details as we can help with any technical questions you may have.

Why Should You Use an Electrician?

When working on a project, it is easy to lose sight of one of the most crucial elements: the electrical installation. The process begins with removing the existing electrical circuit and can involve complex tasks such as installing a new circuit, connecting appliances, lighting, floor heating, and many other details. Additionally, ensuring safety for you and your loved ones is paramount.

Here are compelling reasons to always choose a professional electrician:

  • Expertise and Qualifications: Professional electricians are qualified to deliver essential work. With our team, you can be assured of receiving comprehensive service in accordance with BS7671 standards. We also provide all required certificates, such as EIC, MEC, or EICR, depending on the complexity of the work.
  • Safety and Compliance: Electrical work requires strict adherence to safety standards. Our electricians carry out necessary tests, such as Zs, Ze, RCD, and Insulation Resistance, to ensure everything is up to code. You will receive a detailed report of these tests to confirm the safety and reliability of your installation.
  • Building Regulation Requirements: Adhering to building regulations is crucial for any electrical work. Our electricians ensure compliance with Part P of the Building Regulations, which covers electrical safety in residential dwellings. This compliance not only guarantees the safety of the installation but also ensures legal adherence, avoiding potential fines or issues when selling your property.
  • Insurance and Peace of Mind: We have the required insurance and qualifications, giving you confidence that your electrical installation is in safe hands. DIY attempts often lack the necessary tools and knowledge, leading to potential hazards.
  • Preventing Hazards: Even seemingly simple tasks like connecting an electrical outlet or a switch can lead to severe consequences if not done correctly. Improper connections can cause fires or electrocution. In England alone, there are 20,000 fires annually due to electrical faults.

By choosing a professional electrician, you ensure a safe, efficient, and compliant electrical installation, protecting your home and family from potential risks.
