Electrical service / Inspection & testing
Electrical inspection and testing
Testing should answer a defined question: the condition of an installation, the cause of an issue, or whether completed work meets its intended result. The correct scope depends on why the evidence is needed.
01When to enquire
Start with the property and the result you need.
- Work has been altered and needs appropriate testing
- You need evidence before planning a larger project
- An existing certificate or circuit information is missing
- A commercial premises needs a specific test scope
02What to expect
A methodical route from enquiry to completion.
02
Inspect
Relevant equipment, circuits and visible installation details are reviewed.
03
Measure
Appropriate tests are completed with access and power interruptions managed.
04
Record
Results and any limitations or next steps are documented clearly.
03An important distinction
Testing needs a defined purpose
A targeted test, completion certificate and periodic condition report are not interchangeable. Clarifying the required outcome prevents the wrong inspection being booked.

04Service questions
Before you decide what happens next.
Is this the same as an EICR?
Not always. An EICR is a particular periodic condition report. Other work may need targeted testing or certification linked to an alteration or new installation.
Can testing be completed outside business hours?
Operational constraints can be discussed for commercial premises. Availability and the required shutdowns depend on the scope.
