Electrical Install and Repair
During the process of fixed Installation test & inspection, PHS Compliance Engineers carry out a thorough visual inspection of the electrical distribution system, as well as key electronic tests.
In most instances, this course of action highlights deviations from the BS 7671 (The IEE Wiring Regulations). These very specific regulations are the benchmark for electrical installations in terms of safety, integrity and quality.
PHS Compliance Engineers, in accordance with the British Standard, will catalogue deviations on page 2 of the periodic test report and code them 1-4 in order of severity as follows:
- Code 1 – requires immediate attention
- Code 2 – requires improvement
- Code 3 – requires further investigation
- Code 4 – does not comply with BS 7671
Once the testing procedure is complete, PHS Compliance will issue a report containing its findings including the above deviations and recommendations. The responsibility then lies with you, as the duty holder to make a decision on the next stage
After completing the repair programme successfully, PHS Compliance Engineers will document the processes involved and the repairs made in order to satisfy regulations and standards. This information will be provided to the client in the form of a “completion”, or “minor works” certificate. We will also re-test the affected areas of the installation free of charge and include this information within the report. This final documentation should be kept safely alongside the original fixed installation test and inspection report as evidence of total compliance.
Aside from defect repair, PHS Compliance also offer a comprehensive National design and installation service, completing installations so far up to a value of £2million.
