Electrical Testing Sequence

To comply with electrical safety standards under law, inspection and testing procedures should be performed on all non-domestic electrical installations. The electrical testing sequence will be determined primarily by whether testing is for initial verification of a new installation or periodic testing of an existing appliance.

Initial Verification Testing Sequence

New installations and alterations require ‘Initial Verification’. This involves a specific electrical testing sequence to be followed. Each test builds on the previous one having passed, to give correct results without the test causing danger.

Under BS 7671, reg. 612.1, tests A to G are, where relevant, to be carried out first and in order before the installation is energised:

Earthing and bonding satisfactory
All conductors present and continuous
Insulation satisfactory
No short circuits or excessive leakage
Polarity/connection of all items correct
Resistance of any earth electrodes sufficiently low
Insulation resistance test should be the last test done, and all equipment covers should be replaced, save for the cover of the distribution board, prior to re-energising.

Under regulation 612.1, tests I to O do not necessarily have to be conducted in a particular order, but IEE Guidance Note 3 stipulates all the tests to be conducted in the order above.

Following this order should in most cases help to ensure satisfactory results in one test will normally indicate that the following test can be carried out effectively, minimising the amount of retesting. In practice, however, the order may need to be varied for example to minimise disruption.

An experienced and qualified electrician will be able to assess and advise on the most appropriate testing sequence.

Fixed Wire Electrical Testing

Electrical testing is a vital procedure to ensure the safety of employees, customers and tenants.

All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should therefore be electrical tested inspected at regular intervals to keep checking whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued use. Such safety tests are commonly referred to as 'periodic inspection and testing'.

Periodic inspection and testing should only be carried out by electrically competent persons, such as registered electricians.

They will check the condition of the electrics against the UK standard for the safety of electrical installations.

Checking our electrical appliances are in full working service keeps us compliant with many Health and Safety regulations, such as “The health and safety at work Act 1974”.

Visual checks of our electrical equipment should be conducted frequently, any damage to wiring should be repaired by a person with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to process this work safely, CSE can provide this to ease your mind.

We need to be aware that a wide range of voltages can be dangerous for different reasons. Low voltages can produce enough of a spark to ignite an explosion, CSE can ensure that your electrical equipment is fit for purpose and safe for all to use.

An initial verification inspection and survey will reveal if any circuits or electrical equipment are being overloaded, locate any potential electrical shock risks and fire hazards in an installation, identify any defective DIY electrical work, or highlight any lack of earthing or bonding.

Once completed you will be issued with an Electrical Condition Report (EICR).

An EICR, should only by carried out by a fully qualified and competent electrician. Once the report has been completed, the installer will issue a certificate on software which is recognised by our governing body NAPIT.

CSE charge a fixed price per circuit. Please note that we do charge 3 phase circuits as 3 single circuits.

Portable Appliance Electrical Testing

A portable appliance electrical portable appliance electrical testing is a routine inspection of some types of electrical appliance to check they are safe to use. Its purpose is to prevent electrical accidents in the workplace.

A full portable appliance electrical test should include both a visual inspection and a more in-depth check using specialist portable appliance electrical testing equipment. This test includes earth continuity, lead polarity, and insulation resistance checks.

Some appliances only need a reduced test, called a portable appliance electrical testing insulation test.

At the end of a portable appliance electrical test, every appliance should be marked ‘passed’ or ‘failed’. Ideally there should be a record of the results.

The following items require portable appliance electrical testing:

Fixed appliances
Stationary appliances
IT appliances
Moveable appliances
Portable appliances
Cables and chargers
Hand Held appliances

Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
