EMR Electrical Services can help with all your electrical testing and certification needs
EMR provide comprehensive electrical safety inspections, reporting and remedial repair services for commercial and industrial customers.
All of our electricians are fully qualified NAPIT approved and all of our work is carried out in accordance to current BS 7671 IEE Wiring Regulations. We can advise you on your responsibility in accordance to Electricity At Work Regulations and suggest time intervals for the periodic inspections of your electrical installations. This enables you to keep up to date with your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) previously known as Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). We are also able to carry out simultaneous Gas and Electrical Safety inspections saving you time and money.
UK legislation regarding the safe operation of electrical equipment is constantly evolving as is legislation relating to the safe protection of people in the work and home environment from any potential danger of electricity discharge.
Landlords, business and home owners are all obligated to comply with the regulations and stay within the law.
Letting Agents and Landlords must specifically comply with The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and ensure that any fixed electrical installation is safe at the start of any tenancy and is adequately maintained in a safe condition throughout the tenancy. This also includes the obligation to ensure that any portable electrical equipment is inspected and deemed safe by a skilled person.
All Businesses Need to Comply
All businesses need to comply to the Health and Safety Act 1974, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition including the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 for Landlords and Lettings Agents. These regulations stipulate that every business has a legal obligation to carry out regular periodic inspections of their electrical installations.
The new Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) replaces the previous Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). Any infraction can lead to penalties and/or prosecution.
