General Electrical Testing involves inspecting fixed electrical installations — including wiring, circuits, sockets, breakers, distribution boards and earth systems — to confirm they are safe, functional and compliant.
This testing identifies hazards such as loose connections, overloaded circuits, insulation damage, short circuits and faulty protective devices. A properly tested electrical system reduces fire risks, prevents power failures and ensures your entire building operates safely.
General Electrical Testing is essential for maintaining a stable power supply, protecting staff and preventing costly equipment breakdowns.
Detects faults that could lead to overheating, sparks or dangerous failures.
Provides documented proof your electrical system is safe.
Many electrical issues are invisible until testing reveals them.
Prevents damage to machinery, IT systems, refrigeration units and more.
Prevents unexpected electrical failures and costly outages.
A safe electrical system reduces workplace risk dramatically.
While not every building is legally required to test at fixed intervals, employers must ensure electrical systems are safe under Irish regulations.
Regular testing provides documented proof of compliance, identifies early faults and protects your premises from electrical hazards.
It also ensures business continuity by preventing unexpected outages, machine failure or dangerous electrical faults.
For high-risk environments — such as industrial sites, kitchens, workshops or older buildings — periodic testing is strongly recommended.
Testing of wiring, circuits, boards, earthing, breakers, insulation resistance and protective devices.
Typically every 3–5 years for commercial premises or more frequently for high-risk environments.
