Fixed Wire Testing (EICR and irPIR)

What is Fixed Wire Testing?

Fixed Wire Testing (also referred to as Periodic Inspection Report) is a procedure that’s undertaken to evaluate and report on the condition of an electrical installation to help ensure its safety.

Therefore, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommend periodic electrical inspections and testing should be undertaken at all places of work. To minimise risks and ensure your electrical installation complies with all relevant regulations, Elecheck provides comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations and BS7671:2008.

Electrical shutdown impractical for your business?
We also offer a unique alternative method of complying with these regulations called an irPIR Safety Inspection™

• Provide a comprehensive NICEIC report within 14 days of testing
• Produce a full list of typed defects and recommendations for remedial action
• Provide a free quote and prices for any remedial works required as standard, allowing you to allocate budgets
