Ensure Compliance and Safety with Afta Electrical
At Afta Electrical, we provide professional Fixed Wire Testing services, also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), to help businesses and property owners ensure the safety and compliance of their electrical systems. This test is a legal requirement for all commercial and rental properties in the UK, helping identify potential issues and prevent electrical hazards.
What is Fixed Wire Testing?
Fixed Wire Testing, or EICR, is an assessment of your building’s electrical installations to check for faults, deterioration, and potential safety risks. This test is required by law to ensure that your premises are safe and compliant with the latest Electricity at Work Regulations (1989). The test covers all hard-wired systems, including:
- Distribution boards
- Wiring and circuits
- Socket outlets
- Lighting installations
- Fixed appliances and equipment
