Testing and Inspection Certificates

Wiring Regulations (BS7671) stipulate that on the completion of ALL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION work carried out by electrical contractors, whether this be a complete rewire or the addition of a socket outlet or lighting point:-
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION,  ELECTRICAL COMPLETION or MINOR WORKS CERTIFICATE should be provided to the customer which proves that the electrical work has been carried out and inspected and tested to current installation and safety standards.

Martin Electrical Services also carry out PERIODIC INSPECTION AND TESTING on electrical installations.

Age and everyday use mean that NO electrical installation will be safe forever.

Bearing this in mind, it is now a requirement of the Regulations that installations are inspected at regular intervals to ensure their safe operation. A notice, fixed at or near the origin of the installation, must state the required intervals between periodic inspections and tests to inform the user of the next due test date.
