Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR - Formerly Periodic Fixed Wire Testing)
POA
read moreWHAT IS AN EICR?
Fixed wire testing is the testing of the circuits contained within the fabric of your building. The socket outlets, lighting circuits and various others. This was commonly known as Periodic Inspection and testing, however since January 2012 it is now called an Electrical Installation Condition Report.
WHY DO I NEED THIS?
The two main dangers associated with electricity are risk of electric shock and risk of fire. Over time, installations deteriorate, and it is in the best interest of not only yourself and employees, but your insurance company that you have an installation that is not only electrically sound but free from the potential risk of heat or fire. Every electrical installation deteriorates with use and time. Therefore, if the safety of the users is not to be put at risk, it is important that every installation is periodically inspected and tested by a competent person. BS7671 recommends that every electrical installation is subjected to periodic inspection and testing. The Inspection and Testing should be carried out at appropriate intervals in order to determine what, if any anything, needs to be done to maintain the installation in a safe and serviceable condition.
The purpose of the Electrical Installation Condition Report is not to carry out a fault finding exercise, but to assess and report on the condition of an installation within the agreed extent and limitation of the inspection.
We offer a variety of testing schedules:
FULL TEST
We will carry out a 100% inspection and test of your electrical system and supply you with circuit charts / schedules for every distribution board and a condition report that identifies any electrical faults. Whilst we are on-site we will inform you of any failures requiring immediate repair. If there are any faults we can provide you with a free quotation to rectify these faults and ensure the safety of your electrical system.
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE TESTING
We offer percentage testing i.e. 20% testing over 5 years, 25% testing over 4 years or 33% testing over 3 years. This service is dependent on your testing schedule being fully up to date. The benefits of this are that you dont have one big bill at once and can split the costs over several years enabling you to manage your budgets and plan your maintenance programme whilst keeping you fully compliant.
ANNUAL TESTING
We will carry out an annual visual inspection of your electrical installation with 10% of your installation tested and supply you with a condition report that identifies any electrical faults. If there are any faults we can provide you with a free quotation to rectify these faults and ensure the safety of your electrical system.

Emergency Lighting Testing
POA
read moreWHAT IS EMERGENCY LIGHTING TESTING
The purpose of an Emergency Lighting Inspection and Test Certificate is to assist in maintaining a Life Safety system which provides reliable & safe egress from buildings/areas subjected to poor lighting conditions in time of emergency. They will also help businesses and organisations comply with the recommendations given in BS5266-1:2005 Emergency Lighting Part 1: Code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises, BS EN 1838: 1999 / BS 5266-7: 1999 Lighting applications - Emergency lighting and BS EN 50172: 2004 / BS 5266-8: 2004 Emergency escape lighting systems.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING TEST (FROM 1 YEAR 3 YEARS)
Emergency Lighting automatically operates for between one and three hours on a battery back-up system. The Emergency Lighting inspection and test will be carried out by isolating the supplies to the luminaires to simulate power loss. The lights will then be left to discharge for their rated duration and then to be checked to ensure they are set to recharge following the restoration of their supplies. We will check all luminaires and signs to ensure that they are present, clean and functioning correctly. Any lighting units that fail to illuminate clearly or brightly, have blackened bulbs or tubes or does not maintain luminance for the required time will be noted and should be repaired as soon as possible. A report will be produced showing the health of the system and indicating if there are any faults and your Emergency Lighting Log Book will be updated.

Thermal Imaging
POA
read moreElectrical fires represent 40% of fire loss insurance costs in industry and 20% of large scale fire incidents. Accidents are commonly caused by loose connections, weakening of isolations, obstructed cooling and mechanical damage. Thermal Imaging can pinpoint overheating and provides a way of detecting overcurrent faults and poor connections.
The requirement to adequately and routinely assess electrical performance and compliance is never more present than in the working environment. The unseen hazards associated with electrical failure, fault or degradation can present risks to health and the environment leading to loss of efficiency, accident, injury or fire. Thermal Imaging is a non-invasive in-depth survey serving to thoroughly assess and identify unseen areas of possible risk, danger or inadequacy in your electrical system. Thermal Imaging works by comparing the temperature rise of the fault with the correctly operating component, under the same loading conditions the severity of the problem can be determined.
THE BENEFITS OF THERMAL IMAGING ARE AS FOLLOWS:
- No downtime while conducting the Thermal Imaging survey as can be done during normal operating conditions.
- A safe non-contact measurement tool, uncovering faults quickly and accurately.
- Can help planning which items require maintenance as priority.
- Can be used as part of an annual planned maintenance programme.
- Avoid potential risks, damage or fire through increase in temperature rise.
- Help to extend your equipment's life.
Using a thermal imaging camera, our thermographer will examine and photograph your electrical system and a professional analysis and report will be produced using a colour thermograph and digital photo to confirm the specific location of the fault or potential risk. This report will also highlight temperature rise and the severity of the problem and the probable cause of the fault and our professional recommendations to resolve the issue.

Portable Appliance Testing
POA
read morePortable appliance testing involves a series of inspections that assess the safety and sustainability of electrical appliances.
Our engineers will test your portable appliances to ensure they comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Your equipment will be labelled as to whether it has passed or failed and we will provide you with certification and an asset register of your tested appliances.
MICROWAVE EMISSIONS TESTING
Microwave Emissions Testing is an important part of Health and Safety in the workplace. Testing of the unit involves measurement of the radiation levels around the oven using a microwave detection instrument to ensure compliance with 5mW/cm2 limit.
WHAT IS RADIATION?
Microwave oven radiation is present whenever a microwave oven is turned on. The microwave energy causes the water molecules in the food to vibrate rapidly. This rapid vibration produces heat which, in turn, cooks the food. It can also penetrate through living tissue which is why exposure is harmful to our health. Once you turn off the oven, the microwaves disappear but until then, you may be exposing yourself to dangerous levels of radiation leakage.
WHAT CAUSES MICROWAVE OVENS TO LEAK?
Slamming the oven door, dirt or food particles caught in the door seals and hinges, or basic wear and tear all cause the oven door to slightly separate from the oven enclosure. Once this happens, invisible, but highly dangerous microwaves leak through the small space and cause irreversible damage and injury to the user.

Fire Alarm Testing
POA
read moreBS5839-1:2002 & 2:2008 states that all fire alarm testing should be carried out at intervals to be determined by a fire risk assessment, but in all cases not to be less than two fire alarm inspections per year.
During the normal routine testing one of the fire alarm tests per year would be considered as a 'main' (although there are some variations possible). A main inspection requires every single component on the system to be tested and verified for correct operation. When we test a system for the first time we always start with a main fire alarm inspection and test. This immediately confirms the operational use or all components on the fire alarm system.
In the major inspection (the first inspection we carry out) we will test every detector and every call point in all zones along with the backup power sources and electrical connection on the panels. In the minor inspection we will test all functions of the control panel, all of the warning devices and a minimum of one activation component (detector or call-point) in each zone of the building.
We offer fire alarm testing on all types of buildings including office blocks, factories, workshops and virtually all commercial environments. We understand the impact of periodic testing on your business, so we can work with your management team to ensure testing does not interfere with the day to day running operations.
We can also provide a detailed Fire Log at an additional cost, this comprises of the following:
- Fire Alarm Break Glass Point
- Fire Extinguishers
- Maintenance of Fire Doors, Exits and Escape Routes
- Emergency Lighting
- Fire Drills
- Smoke Control Systems
- Sprinkler Systems

Electrical Remedial Works
POA
read moreSAFETY
We can provide a free no obligation quotation for remedial works to rectify any faults identified from the condition report to ensure the continued safety of your electrical installation. The purpose of the Electrical Installation Condition Report is not to carry out a fault finding exercise, but to assess and report on the condition of an installation within the agreed extent and limitation of the inspection. The Condition Report is broken down into three classification codes.
C1 (DANGER PRESENT)
This code indicates that danger exists and immediate remedial action is required. If a C1 fault is found during inspection and/or testing our engineer will make you aware of the fault and that immediate remedial action is required to remove the danger. This may include appropriate action such as switching off and isolating the affected part(s) of the installation to remove the danger until repairs can be made. The engineer will provide an Electrical Danger Notification Form / Major Defects Form detailing the fault.
C2 (POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS)
This code indicates that, whilst the safety of those using the installation may not be at immediate risk, remedial action should be taken as a matter of urgency to remove the source of potential danger.
C3 (IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDED)
It should usually be possible for the engineer to attribute a classification code to each observation without indicating a need for further investigation. However, if the engineer considers that further investigation of the observation is likely to reveal danger or potential danger that, due to the agreed extent or limitations of the inspection and/or testing, could not be fully identified at the time. A further examination of that aspect of the installation must be undertaken as a matter of urgency, to determine whether or not danger or potential danger exists.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION
It should usually be possible for the engineer to attribute a classification code to each observation without indicating a need for further investigation. However, if the engineer considers that further investigation of the observation is likely to reveal danger or potential danger that, due to the agreed extent or limitations of the inspection and/or testing, could not be fully identified at the time.

Outstanding quality, value and service
I had KGESTC carry out the electrical safety testing, which involved fixing wire testing, emergency lighting, fire alarm and pat testing for several business premises that I look after for my clients. All the works were carried out quickly and accurately with no disruption to my clients as they tested within and out with normal working hours at no extra cost. The reports for each property were received within a day of the testing being carried out. I asked them to carry out the remedial works and they were carried out as seamlessly as the testing was. I can most wholeheartedly recommend KGESTC for their outstanding, quality service and value and with the personal service I received I will not be going anywhere else in the future and I will recommend them to anyone who requires electrical safety testing. Thank you for such a hassle free, personalized service. Reports within 24 hours, hassle free, personalized service

This was formerly known as Periodic Inspection and Testing, however since January 2012 it is now called an Electrical Installation Condition Report. The two main dangers associated with electricity are risk of electric shock and risk of fire. Over time, all electrical equipment deteriorates with age, and it is in the best interest of not only yourself, your family, employees and any visitors, but also to your insurance company that you have an installation that is not only electrically sound but free from the potential risk of heat or fire.
