CityPAT announces introduction of Periodic Iinspection Reporting (PIR) or Fixed Wiring testing

In addition to our successful Portable Apliance Testing (PAT) service we have recently introduced a new service to test fixed wiring installations or Periodic Inspection Reporting (PIR).

PIR is an inspection on the condition of an existing electrical installation, to identify any deficiencies against the current electrical safety standard for installations.

By law you are required to make sure that any electrical installations are kept in safe conditions. If regular inspection and testing is neglected, not only do you run the risk of imprisonment, but you are also endangering the lives of your workforce and may incur large fines and loss of income as well as the possibility of invalidating your insurance claims.

We will check the electrical installation against the requirements of BSi7671 - Requirements for Electrical Installations ( IEE Wiring Regulations) - as amended, which is the national safety standard for electrical installations, and contains around 850 Regulations.

Work can be carried out at the same time PAT testing is conducted to minimise the disruption to your business.
