As we all know, electricity is invisible to the body, so many people often forget to close their eyes to understand the state of electrical equipment and/or devices in the room. Especially when the hidden database is used in a high place in the computer room or closet.
Worn wires and faulty electrical appliances are the main causes of fires in the workplace.
A reliable way to solve these known faults is to have a qualified electrician perform the so-called fixed cable test to obtain an electrical installation condition report (EICR).
Need for EICR:
Even though there is no mandatory requirement to have the latest EICR, business owners and building owners are legally responsible for the well-being of employees and tenants.
This means that if one of them is injured by a dangerous electric shock and you cannot provide evidence that you have taken the necessary steps to create a safe environment, you will be held responsible.
EICR determines that everything is installed and working as expected. If a fault is found, the electrician will detail the required troubleshooting and improvement suggestions in the report.
Specifically, EICR will record the inspection results and electrical conditions at that time, and provide detailed information about the following:
- Circuit overload
- Risk of fire and potential electric shock
- Electrical failure, including damage and wear
- Electrical components do not comply with IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) wiring regulations
- Missing ground connections and bonding.
As per the national health and safety regulations, you must make sure all your electrical installations are safe, and regularly checked every 5 years.
The safe and reliable operation of the newly installed electrical system and related equipment requires several key components:
- The power supply system and components must be properly designed and manufactured.
- You need to buy high-quality equipment.
- Installation must comply with all applicable codes and standards and be performed by qualified contractors and suppliers.
- All of the above must be verified by an independent third-party inspection.
- All information should be recorded and archived for future use.
Between July 1- 2002, and October 31, 2011, Australian coroners reported 321 deaths from electric shocks, which have been identified and closed in the NCIS database.
