Commercial FAQ
Electricity is the most dangerous power source to work with. It requires a highly qualified electrician to carry out electrical work to a safe and high quality standard, which is why it’s critical that you choose a business that’s
NICEIC approved.
NICEIC approved.
Electricians registered by NICEIC are assessed on a regular basis to ensure that they are competent and contractors registered to NICEIC are authorised to self-certify work. NICEIC electricians also have a Platinum Promise which covers electrical work up to the value of £25,000. This is a protection entity which only a NICEIC approved contractor can offer.
Here’s five reasons you should use a NICEIC approved electrical contractor:
1. Annually assessed by NICEIC;
2. Minimum public liability insurance;
3. Carry out all forms of inspection and testing from minor works to full installations and fire alarms, emergency lighting, periodic tests and inspections;
4. Independent complaints.
The law requires that all business owners, their directors, managers and employees comply with “The Electricity at Work Regulations”. The law simply requires that all electrical systems must be maintained to be safe at all times. No system or part of it may give rise to danger during either normal operation or under fault conditions. Regulation 4(2) – “All systems to
be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, danger”. “System” means the wiring of an electrical installation and everything connected to it. Regulation (29) states: “It shall be a defence for any person to prove that he
took all reasonable steps and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of that offence” Test reports, together with other preventative maintenance documentation will form the basis of this proof and will provide your best defence against
prosecution should the need arise. Duty holders are responsible for setting up adequate maintenance programs and must assess the needs and frequency requirement of testing, maintaining and monitoring electrical systems and equipment.

Electricity will always find the easiest path to earth. Any faults or weaknesses within your electrical installation or portable appliances can go undetected. In the event of another fault developing, this could lead to serious risk of fire, electrocution or death. For example, a 13-amp ring-main without earth continuity could render all metal parts of appliances plugged into it “LIVE” if one item on the ring developed a fault to earth. Fixed wiring testing will accurately identify faults, their locations and usually the recommended solution.
A short power outage can be expected on each circuit within the system but because most of the testing is carried out whilst the system is still live, these outages can be planned around your daily activities.
