Electrical certificates of compliance confirm that electrical installations within a building meet the required standards for safety under law. At Vortex Electrical Services we ensure that all your electrical circuits, appliances and works carried out are legally compliant at the time they are put into service.
The testing of your fixed wiring to BS7671 requires you to keep your electrical installation in safe condition. Every test results in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which gives a full overview of every aspect of the test and recommendations.
Following a compliance test, we will classify any issues into three categories; Code 1 (C1): Danger present. Risk of injury. The electrical inspector may make any C1 hazards safe before leaving the property. Code 2 (C2): Potentially dangerous. Code 3 (C3): Improvement recommended.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. Regular Portable Appliance Testing should be applied every 12 months. At Vortex Electrical Services, we test and record every detail.
In accordance with the requirements of BS5266, emergency lighting systems in areas where there is artificial light, should be periodically tested and inspected. Results of all test must be documented in an emergency lighting log book. We can also provide comprehensive lighting and emergency lighting maintenance across your entire estate.
Our non-intrusive Thermal Imaging tester identifies hot spots within your electrical circuits. We provide live fixed-wire testing for panels, distribution boards and connections – avoiding the need for costly down-time. Our detailed thermal imaging reports are fully certified, and can be used for buildings and contents insurance.
