What is Fixed Wire Testing?
Fixed Wire Testing is, put very simply is the testing of your buildings electrical system. Fixed wire testing is also know by many other names such as:
Hard Wire Testing
Periodic Inspection Report or PIR
Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR
Electrical Installation Inspection
Electrical Compliance Testing
Test & Inspection
Periodic Inspection & Testing
All of the above amount to the same thing. The inspection and testing of your electrical system.
This typically involves an engineer conducting a thorough visual inspection of your electrical system followed by a range of tests to confirm compliance with the British Standard IEE Wiring Regulations known as BS7671 2008 Amendment 3 (2015).
The outcome of the fixed wire testing will be documented within a document know as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) which has replaced the Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). Any non-compliances will also be listed within the EICR each of which will be given a code to reflect its severity.
