4 FIXED WIRE TESTING Fixed Wirig Testig (FWT) is a popular phrase used to describe a Electrical Istallatio Coditio Report (EICR) formerly called Periodic Ispectio Report (PIR). The two mai dagers associated with electricity are the risk of shock ad the possibility of fire. Over time those risks are icreased because istallatios deteriorate due to age ad ormal wear ad tear. EIAT offers a total Electrical Compliace Service. We work closely with the Duty Holders to create a testig strategy appropriate to the risk preseted. Our egieers are ot oly qualified but time served electricias experieced i idetifyig electrical faults ad defects. All testig will be to BS7671 stadards strigetly adherig to up-to-date regulatios ad legislatio. Circuits are checked so that i the evet of a fault, the wirig ad the protective device (circuit breaker or fuse) will provide the correct protectio to esure the safety of ay persos or property withi the scope of the istallatio. Ay C1 faults idetified posig immiet dager will be reported immediately to the Duty Holder i writig ad advice give that remedial actio must be take without delay. You will receive a comprehesive complete EICR with a full schedule of circuits ad listed observatios ad recommedatios which will iclude ay defects or deviatios from the British Stadard. Our risk-based approach, i lie with curret regulatios esures that our cliets receive a comprehesive compliace solutio which is cost-effective ad sustaiable whilst reducig the risk of future faults or accidets.

5 REMEDIAL REPAIRS Fixed Wire Testig is oly part of the electrical safety compliace requiremet. Oce the FWT has bee completed you will receive a report of the remedial works required. Faults idetified i the EICR (Electrical Istallatio Coditio Report) are give codes: Code C1 faults require urget attetio - dager preset immediate repair. Code C2 faults require attetio - potetial dager usatisfactory coditio. Code C3 faults are a improvemet recommeded. I the evet that essetial remedial work is ot completed withi the time-frame appropriate to the fault codig followig FWT the the orgaisatio could be culpable of fault ad egligece, the premises isurace could be compromised ad the Duty Holder could be prove to be liable. EIAT works closely with the Duty Holder to: Aalyse, explai ad discuss the results of the EICR. Pla ad create a tailored electrical remedial repairs schedule. Liaise with you to pla the most coveiet timig to complete the work with miimal disruptio ad dow time. Carry out the repair certifyig that the works meet BS 7671: 2008 (2011) requiremets. Keepig your electrical system well maitaied will help reduce the risk of o-compliace ad costly system dowtime ad repair.

6 ELECTRICAL THERMAL IMAGING Thermal Imagig or thermography (hot spot testig) is the process of usig a special camera desiged to look oly for heat by way of ifra-red (IR) eergy waves. By detectig aomalies ofte ivisible to the aked eye, thermal imagig has evolved ito oe of the most cost effective ad valuable diagostic tools for both predictive ad prevetive electrical maiteace. Speed of operatio coupled with the fact that thermal imagers do ot require cotact with the circuits or electrical compoets, has the advatage that they ca be used whe the system is uder load thus givig a true picture of the workig load ad therefore temperature uder load. By reviewig thermal images of equipmet, decisios to either repair or replace equipmet become more effective by icreasig equipmet reliability ad overall costs reductio. The regular testig of electrical systems is of the utmost importace, particularly whe excessively high ruig costs or dowtime could be detrimetal to the busiess. Thermal cameras are a extremely efficiet, effective, versatile tool: For testig electrical systems for excessive heat, damaged compoets, ad esurig overall system safety ad efficiecy. Istat fault diagosis e.g. loose coectios, corroded joits, overloads, phase imbalaces, high resistace i fuses ad switchgear, wor parts ad isulatio resistace breakdow. Idetifyig the severity of the problem ad ecessary remedial actio required. Early stage remedial actio ca save both time ad moey. If it is impractical for your busiess to shut dow the electrical supply to carry out fixed wire testig the this o-disruptive, electrical testig service is for you!

7 PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING Portable Appliace Testig or PAT is a essetial part of ay electrical compliace programme to esure that all appliaces are safe to use. The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidets ivolve portable appliaces. All electrical items have the ability to short fuse, overheat ad i the worst case sceario, spark or cause a fire. May Duty Holders are uaware of the isurace implicatios of ot havig a up-to-date PAT programme i place. Failure to carry out the ecessary tests may result i your isurace compay refusig to pay out i the ufortuate circumstaces of a accidet or fire. At EIAT all of our test egieers are qualified to City ad Guilds Every appliace icludig lead ad plug is ispected visually for damage, correct use ad suitability. We use computerised test istrumets to carry out Portable Appliace Tests. Fast, reliable ad extremely accurate with the ability to record test results i a dowloadable format, they are safe to use with sesitive IT equipmet. Mior remedial work ca be carried out at the time of testig icludig replacig fuses ad rewirig plugs to maximise first time PASS rate. Microwaves are tested for leakage to esure radiatio levels are acceptable. Every appliace is labelled ad recorded o a itemised asset register. All reports are available through our cliet portal o our website. EIAT works closely with Duty Holders to create a PATs programme appropriate to the risk preseted. Risk reductio with sustaiable cost effective compliace. EiatUK Ltd, Faraday House, Uit 5 Threxto Road Idustrial Estate, Watto, Norfolk, IP25 6NG
