An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an official document produced after a qualified electrician has inspected and tested the fixed wiring in a property. It assesses the safety, condition, and compliance of the electrical installation with current regulations (BS 7671).

The report highlights:

• Any defects, damage, or deterioration in the wiring.
• Safety risks such as electric shock or fire hazards.
• Whether the installation is safe for continued use or requires remedial work.

Importance of an EICR

• Safety: Identifies potential hazards before they cause harm.
• Legal compliance: In the UK, landlords must provide a valid EICR for rental properties (typically every 5 years or at change of tenancy).
• Insurance: Some insurers require a valid EICR to ensure cover.
• Peace of mind: Homeowners and tenants know their electrics are safe and up to standard.

An Emergency Lighting Test (ELT) checks that emergency lighting systems in a building work properly in the event of a power failure. These tests ensure that all emergency exit signs and backup lights illuminate correctly and stay on for the required duration.

Importance of ELTs

• Safety: Provides lighting to safely evacuate during an emergency.
• Legal compliance: Required under UK fire safety regulations (monthly function tests and annual full-duration tests).
• Reliability: Ensures batteries, bulbs, and fittings are working and won’t fail when needed most.
• Peace of mind: Protects building occupants and helps businesses meet health & safety obligations.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of checking electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. This involves a combination of visual inspections (looking for damage, loose wires, or cracks) and electrical tests using specialist equipment.

Importance of PAT Testing

• Safety: Reduces the risk of electric shock or fire caused by faulty appliances.
• Legal compliance: While not a legal requirement in itself, UK health and safety regulations require employers and landlords to ensure electrical equipment is maintained safely—PAT testing is the recognised way to demonstrate this.
• Insurance: Many insurers expect evidence of PAT testing to validate cover in case of an electrical accident.
• Peace of mind: Helps employers, landlords, and users know that equipment is safe for everyday use.

Fire alarm testing is the routine checking of a building’s fire alarm system to make sure detectors, call points, sounders, and panels are working properly. Tests can include weekly checks (to confirm alarms activate correctly) and more thorough inspections by a competent professional, usually every 6 months.

Importance of Fire Alarm Testing

• Life safety: Ensures alarms will warn occupants quickly in the event of a fire.
• Legal compliance: Required under the UK Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and British Standards (BS 5839).
• Reliability: Identifies faults such as dead batteries, damaged detectors, or wiring issues before they become critical.
• Peace of mind: Protects people, property, and business continuity by ensuring alarms are always ready to work.

Fire extinguisher servicing is the regular inspection and maintenance of fire extinguishers to ensure they are in good working order and ready to use in an emergency. A qualified engineer checks each unit for pressure, condition, accessibility, and correct signage, and replaces or recharges where necessary.

Importance of Fire Extinguisher Servicing

• Life safety: Ensures extinguishers will work effectively if a fire breaks out.
• Legal compliance: Required under the UK Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and British Standard BS 5306, with annual servicing recommended.
• Reliability: Identifies damage, corrosion, or loss of pressure that could cause an extinguisher to fail.
• Peace of mind: Gives building owners, employers, and occupants confidence that fire safety equipment is always ready for use.
