TESTING & CERTIFICATION
EMF Controls is fully qualified and authorised to carry out all necessary testing required in periodic inspections and issue compliance certificates.
Periodic inspections and regular testing of electrical installations is a legal requirement under the 2007 Safety Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations. All employers are legally required to ensure that existing electrical installations be tested periodically, that a PIR (Period Inspection Report) be completed, and that all defects and concerns found during the testing and inspection be rectified promptly and efficiently. The periodic inspection is used to appraise the current condition of an electrical installation and assess its performance in addition to the system's suitability for its environment.
The inspection will:
-
Show up faulty electrical work
-
Highlight fire hazards
-
Reveal a lack of earthing or bonding
-
Examine insulation resistance
-
Examine resistance of the protective conductor
-
Reveal damage or deterioration to electrical systems
-
Reveal overloaded circuits
-
Highlight electric shock risks
-
Include a fault loop impedance test

How often are periodic inspections required?
The frequency of periodic inspections and electrical testing is determined by the type of installation, its use, and the frequency of system maintenance. However, it is generally recommended that there should be longer than a period of 5 years between testing.
What is involved in the inspection?
There are two elements to periodic inspections. The first is a visual check that should be carried out annually. This is to identify any surface damage to the electrical installation. The second is the actual testing of the system to examine its efficiency.
What happens if my system is faulty?
All results of the inspection and testing will be documented and signed. If any problems are found then repairs will have to be made. Once the repair work is complete and your system is functioning again you will receive a certification that states the inspection and repairs have taken place.
