INSPECTION & TESTING TO BS 7671

At Andromeda Electrical we provide inspection of fixed electrical installations and equipment (up to and including three phase 400V ac circuits) in accordance with British Standard BS7671 (Institution of Engineering & Technology, formally the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Wiring Regulations - 17th Edition).

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CONDITION REPORT

All electrical installations should be subject to regular checks the frequency of which will depend on the type of installation eg: installations within residential properties should be a maximum of ten years between checks, whereas a construction site may require a check at three monthly intervals.


The Electrical Installation Condition Report includes a thorough visual inspection looking at all aspects of the installation together with extensive testing.


Any non-compliance issues are identified and categorised and an overall assessment is provided as to whether the installation is safe to continue using in its current state.

ROUTINE INSPECTION

Regular inspections also need to be performed on electrical installations between periodic inspections as damage and deterioration can occur. 

We offer an annual check which is limited to a visual inspection plus some functional testing. This is particularly suited to rental property where there may be an annual change of tenant.

VISUAL INSPECTION

This is particulalry suited to potential home buyers. A visual inspection of the property can be carried out to determine the age of the wiring and accessories, its general condition and compliance with current regulations.
