Electrical Inspection Condition Reports (EICRs) assess an electrical installation wiring system to ensure safety and compliance with British Standard BS 7671. Here’s what our service includes:

• Thorough Inspection and Testing: Our qualified engineers conduct comprehensive inspections and testing of electrical installations and circuits across your premises, highlighting any non-compliances or safety issues in line with the latest edition of BS 7671 and Guidance Note 3
• Rectification/Remedial Works: Once the EICR is complete any defects or deviations from BS 7671are recorded and categorised into the following:
  • C1 – ‘Danger present’. Risk of Injury. Immediate remedial action required
  • C2 – ‘Potentially dangerous’. Urgent remedial action required
  • C3 – ‘Improvement recommended’.
  • FI – ‘Further Investigation’ required.

Once the defects are categorised, the EICR certificate will be produced stating whether the installation is ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Unsatisfactory’. An accompanying quotation will then be produced for the remedial works to be undertaken to ensure the electrical systems are brought up to the correct standards, ensuring safety and continued usage.

• Client-Centered Approach: We work closely with our clients to minimise disruption to daily operations and to maximise cost efficiency throughout the testing process. Whether this be ‘out of hours’ working or undertaking the works through a phased approach.

With SDE Electricals fixed wire testing, you can trust that your electrical systems are safe, reliable, and fully compliant with UK standards.

Emergency lights are essential for illuminating exits and exit routes during power outages, accidents, fires, or lighting system failures. To comply with UK fire safety legislation and Emergency Lighting Standard BS5266-1, emergency lighting must undergo a full annual test and a monthly ‘flick-test’. Here’s how we can support your compliance and safety:

• Annual Testing and Compliance Documentation: We conduct thorough annual tests on emergency lighting and provide the required documentation for commercial and retail buildings.
• Monthly Flick-Testing and Routine Maintenance: Our team carries out monthly flick-tests and routine maintenance to ensure systems function as expected in the event of loss of lighting.
• Proactive Inspection and Support: Working closely with our clients, we provide regular inspections and maintenance to avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

With SDE Electrical, your emergency lighting system remains compliant, dependable, and ready to perform when needed.

• For statutory inspection, British Standard BS 5839-1 recommends that fire alarm systems are inspected every six months to ensure they remain reliable and effective. At SDE Electrical, we offer comprehensive alarm testing and servicing to keep your system in optimal condition, providing early warning in the event of a fire to enable safe and timely evacuation.

  Key requirements of British Standard 5839-1, Section 6, include:

  • Weekly Testing: A weekly test should be conducted at approximately the same time each week, including operation of a manual call point (tested in rotation).
  • Detailed Record Keeping: Information on all testing and inspections should be documented in a logbook for ongoing compliance. SDE Electrical produce a fire alarm logbook as part of our service.

  With SDE Electricals regular testing and servicing, your fire alarm system remains compliant, effective, and prepared to protect lives and property.
