industrial report

[Ross1]

Hi guys, My customer has been asked by his insurance company that he needs his electrics checked to validate his insurance. Firstly as there was no exact terminology used, do you guys think that a full EICR is required with every cable tested with full range of tests captured in the full EICR format. I have never carried out a EICR on this scale before but am familiar with 3phase testing. Its a smallish industrial plant with no records available. cheers

Yes mate, full EICR, if this is your first big test job, then why not shout up on here, i am sure there will be someone available to help you. What is your location?

Cheers..........Howard

industrial testing no different from domestic or commercial , being its large scale means theres just more of it to do .

jump in feet first high end prices value yourself

 

[Ross1]

get 3 quotes to carry out a full EICR test and inspection, an insurance company covering a business will not accept anything less.

When it comes to all the control side of the wiring, surely I don't have to test all that. Only the 230/415V dist and final?

Any equipment/machine control circuits don't come under BS7671, so no you will not be involved on that side of things!! Your area of inspection/testing work, will cover all main and sub distribution, along with all final circuits etc...

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

What size of plant is this?
Anything bigger that a back street workshop I would say you are well out of you’re depth.
My reason for saying that? You ask how to do the job on here.

Do they want remedial work done? If they do can you handle the job?

Can you cope with working around production schedules? I was told many years ago, we didn’t build this plant for you to play about with, we built it to make money. You work as and when production allows.

Think on.
