Commercial Electrical Compliance

Carmichael Electrical Services provides a top quality service, never compromising on workmanship or electrical safety.

So What Is Commercial Electrical Compliance?

Commercial Electrical Compliance makes certain all electrical installations, fixed and moveable appliances in a commercial property meet safety standards to reduce the risk of hazards such as electrocution and fires.

Commercial businesses in Christchurch can ensure compliance through regular inspections and routine testing by an approved electrician such as Carmichael Electrical Services.

Key Aspects Of Commercial Electrical Compliance

All commercial properties must demonstrate electrical compliance with UK regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Commercial electrical compliance can be achieved through frequent EICRs or electrical installation condition reports which are generated after a thorough inspection of electrical systems on site. This includes the wiring, fuse board, light fixtures, outlets and switches. Our trained and qualified electricians have years of experience so we spot electrical faults and general signs of wear and tear quickly.

You’re probably familiar with PAT testing which is an inspection of any portable appliances at your commercial business in Christchurch. If your commercial business uses IT or office equipment, kitchen appliances or even cleaning equipment such as hoovers, you’ll need to ensure PAT testing is carried out.

What Else Falls Under Commercial Electrical Compliance?

As a commercial business in Christchurch, you should have emergency lighting installed to provide safe and reliable lighting in the event of an emergency, leading to the safe evacuation of individuals on site. It's all well and good to have emergency lighting installed but systems must be properly maintained and tested to ensure they are updated and most importantly, function in an emergency. Carmichael Electrical Services provide service packages to clients in Christchurch too.

How Do I Achieve Commercial Electrical Compliance?

As mentioned, a qualified electrician such as ourselves will need to conduct regular inspections through EICRs, PAT testing or system checks. We’ll have a better understanding of how frequently testing should take place once we gain a better grasp of the business operations on site, the size of the premises and number of occupants.

If we do flag any electrical faults or identify signs of damage, you will have to ensure remedial work is conducted immediately to make sure employees and customers are protected at all times.
