Safety and compliance: the importance of electrical testing

Like an EPB inspection, an electrical inspection is compulsory when you decide to sell your home. During an electrical inspection, a building's electrical system is checked to ensure that it complies with current safety standards. This is important for a number of reasons:

  • Personal safety A poorly installed or maintained electrical system can lead to a risk of fire or electrocution. Checks can minimise these risks.

  • Property security Faulty installation can cause a short-circuit, which in turn can cause a fire and damage property.

  • Regulatory compliance : By ensuring that electrical installations comply with current standards, you guarantee legal compliance.

During the inspection, various aspects are examined, such as the condition of the wiring, fuses, earthing, sockets and switches. If any faults are found, they must be corrected to comply with safety standards. The ultimate aim is to ensure that the electrical installation is safe and reliable for the building's residents or users.

  • In the case of a new build or renovation

  • When signing a new rental contract

  • When modifications have been made to the electrical installation

  • In some cases, a periodic inspection may also be required
