Fixed Wire Electrical Testing Services
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
Hywel Dda University Health Board (“HDUHB”) has awarded a contract for the provision of Fixed Wire Electrical Testing Services of the mains electrical systems at all acute sites across the three counties of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Ceredigion.
Electrical systems are integral parts of any modern building, but these systems are also highly dangerous.
The risk of electrical shock and, in extreme cases, death are very real.
Accordingly, it’s important that these electrical systems are regularly tested and maintained.
The five (5) year electrical test is a statutory requirement that HDUHB needs to adhere to.
It is a series of tests that must be carried out every five (5) years on fixed electrical installations.
These tests must be carried out by a qualified electrician and are statutory requirements as per the Electricity at Work Regulations and the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008).
Upon the successful completion of a five (5) year electrical test, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (“EICR”) will be issued.
Possession of an in-date EICR will underline the safety of HDUHB’s electrical systems and keep HDUHB in line with the relevant regulations.
Fixed wiring systems cover any electrical infrastructure which delivers electrical power from the supply to any equipment on site.
The tests involved in generating the EICR are numerous and include: - Inspecting the condition and suitability of earthing and bonding - The serviceability of existing equipment such as sockets, light fittings, and switches - Establishing the wiring system in place and the current condition of the wiring - Detailing any instances of wear and tear and potential deterioration in existing electrical systems
