Electrical testing.
Electrical Testing, why do I need it ?
Quite simply it is a statutory obligation in most cases. If your premises are open to the public, i.e. pubs,cinemas,clubs,churches,dentists,doctors surgeries etc then you most likely need to be inspected yearly (Frequency of tests). If you are a private dwelling then you should be tested at least every 10 years.Electrical testing is often overlooked by ignorance, many companies now delegate the responsibility to either their own resources manager or a dedicated company. 
Southern Electrical Testing keeps a data base of all tests, when they were performed and the results,this way there is no ambiguity! As well as the electrical testing of the fixed equipment (cables,sockets,lights, etc) there is the testing of PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) simply put if it has a plug on it it has to be tested with a PAT tester. This is a requirement for all types of installation, Industrial,Commercial and Domestic. Home-owners wishing to sell their dwelling can use the same service to make the test results available to potential purchasers. A full domestic periodic inspection may become legislation under the new sellers pack for Home-owners. Becomes Law July 2007 Postponed! Comes in force 14th December 2007.

As it is a requirement that electrical systems installed in places of work comply with the The Electricity At Work Regulations 1989, More and more companies are putting in place people and policies that deal with the electrical testing and other Proactive Maintenance Programs to create a safe ,viable and profitable environment for their staff.
