Inspections
Fairwinds Electrical Ltd are qualified and authorised to carry out Electrical Inspections and Testing in accordance with BS7671 17th edition and Part P of the Building Regulations. There are three types of inspection and test that are documented by Certificates:
Periodic Inspection Report – PIR
The Periodic Inspection Report is used for reporting the condition of an existing installation. It will have a description of the whole installation, a set of test measurements and most importantly a list of recommendations for remedial action (if necessary). It is used:
|
|
Prior to undertaking any major works
|
|
|
At the time of change of ownership
|
|
|
By landlords between tenant changeovers
|
|
|
Regular inspection schedule for commercial or industrial installations
|
|
|
For peace of mind in domestic installations where a house may have been subject to years of DIY upgrades.
|
Electrical Installation Certificate - EIC
The Electrical Installation Certificate is used for new installations or for additions or alterations to an existing installation where new circuits have been introduced.
The certificate will show the name of the Designer, Installer and Inspector and will have a description of the whole installation and a set of test measurements. This certificate will be issued by Fairwinds Electrical Ltd upon completion of work, unless the Minor Works Certificate is applicable.
Minor Works Certificate – MWC
The Minor Works Certificate is used to certify additions and alterations to installations that do not need new circuits. For example, the replacement of lighting fittings and the addition of new 13A sockets.
These certificates are valuable documents and should be kept in a safe place.
All electrical installations or inspections undertaken by Fairwinds Electrical Ltd will be accompanied by one of these certificates, as required by BS7671 17th edition.
