What Is Electrical Inspection?
Electrical inspection is the process of assessing the condition, safety and compliance of a building’s fixed electrical installation. It involves visually examining equipment, testing circuits, checking protective devices, and identifying any deterioration or hazards that could present a risk.
Regular electrical inspections help you:
- Protect building users from electrical shock and fire
- Identify defects before they lead to costly failures
- Maintain compliance with legal and insurance requirements
- Keep your building aligned with SFG20 and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules
- Support safe, reliable ongoing operation of your estate
How Evans Electrical Deliver Electrical Inspections
Every electrical inspection we carry out is delivered by qualified, competent engineers and aligned to industry best practice, including BS 7671, SFG20 and manufacturer recommendations.
Our process typically includes:
Visual Examination of the Installation
A detailed inspection of the fixed wiring system, including:
- Distribution boards and consumer units
- Cable routing, containment and mechanical protection
- Sockets, switches, lighting and control accessories
- Earthing and bonding arrangements
- Isolation and switching devices
- Protective devices (MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, SPDs)
- Suitability of equipment for the environment (IP ratings)
- Signs of wear, damage, ageing or overheating
Testing of Electrical Circuits
Depending on the purpose and depth of the inspection, testing may include:
- Continuity of protective conductors and ring circuits
- Insulation resistance
- Polarity verification
- Earth fault loop impedance (Zs)
- Prospective fault current (PFC/PSCC)
- RCD/RCBO performance testing
- Functional testing of safety devices and controls
These tests confirm that circuits are safe to operate and perform correctly under fault conditions.
Inspection & Verification of Distribution Boards
Every electrical inspection includes a professional review of distribution boards:
- Checking termination tightness and integrity
- Verifying correct circuit identification
- Assessing condition of internal components
- Checking for heat damage, corrosion or signs of overload
- Ensuring compliance with fire safety and containment standards
Documentation, Reporting & Integration With SFG20
Your inspection results are clearly documented and can be provided in formats compatible with your maintenance software or SFG20-based PPM regimes.
Reports include:
- Detailed observations
- Clear severity codes
- Photographic evidence (where required)
- Recommendations and prioritised actions
- Guidance on compliance with BS 7671 and EAWR
- Suggested intervals for future inspections
This helps estate managers easily align electrical inspection requirements with their SFG20 schedules for efficient planned maintenance.
