At M Kemp Testing Services we ensure that your electrical installations conform to the latest safety guidelines from the British Standards and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) as codified in BS 7671, Requirements for Electrical Installations.

This is especially important as the Building Regulations Part P Electrical Safety now applies to all fixed electrical installations (for operation at low voltage or extra-low voltage) that are not controlled by the Electricity Supply Regulations 1988 or the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

We will arrange a site visit to test and inspect all the fixed wiring system. The test will comply with BS7671 for current legislation. Upon completion we will issue a Periodic Inspection report, and list any recommendations and observations. Any remedial works will be then quoted and discussed for a further visit.

BS 7671 : states and we comply with: regulations to the design, erection and verification of electrical installations, also additions and alterations to existing installations. Existing installations that have been installed in accordance with earlier editions of the Regulations may not comply with this edition in every respect. This does not necessarily mean that they are unsafe for continued use or require upgrading.

Guidelines for testing:

• Domestic - Change of occupancy or 10 years
• Hospitals - 5 years
• Industrial - 3 years
• Offices - 5 years
• Shops - 5 years
• Churches - 5 years
• Theatres - 3 years
