About Our Industrial Electrical Testing Service in Claxton
Industrial testing covers the fixed installation feeding the plant: incoming supply, main switchgear, busbars, sub-mains, distribution boards, motor circuits and isolators. The electrical equipment of the machines themselves sits under BS EN 60204-1, which is a different standard from BS 7671. Worth settling where that boundary falls before anyone puts a price on the work.
Environment drives the intervals more than age does. Dust in grain stores and feed mills, washdown in food processing, salt air on the coast, vibration and heat around motors and drives.
Regulation 652.2 of BS 7671 recognises an alternative to periodic inspection where an effective preventive maintenance regime is already in place under suitably skilled supervision. The records have to stand up: the item inspected, the required frequency, the result, any remedial work carried out, who carried it out, and who is responsible at supervisory level. If you already run planned maintenance, that route is often worth more than a five-yearly report.
Isolation is the part that costs production time. Safe isolation follows HSE guidance HSG85, with lock-off and proving dead on every circuit, so testing gets scheduled into shutdown weeks and planned maintenance windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be done without stopping production?
Partly. Visual inspection and live testing carry on with the supply energised. Continuity, insulation resistance and polarity require the circuit dead, so those get grouped by board and dropped into a shutdown window or a planned maintenance slot. The realistic answer for most plants is phased testing over several visits rather than one shutdown.
Does the report cover our machinery?
Not by default. BS 7671 covers the fixed installation up to the point of connection. The electrical equipment of the machine itself falls under BS EN 60204-1, which is a separate standard with separate requirements. Blurring the two is how things end up untested by both parties, so the boundary gets written into the scope. Three-phase installations and machinery control panels are both covered. Where the fixed installation stops and the machine begins matters for who is responsible, and we will tell you which side of the isolator a problem sits on.
We already run planned maintenance. Do we still need periodic inspection?
Possibly not, and regulation 652.2 of BS 7671 says so. Where an effective preventive maintenance regime is in place under continuous supervision by skilled persons, periodic inspection and testing may not be required. What it hangs on is the records: what was inspected, at what frequency, the result, the remedial work, who did it and who supervised. Without those, you are back to periodic inspection.
How often should an industrial installation be tested?
There is no single legal interval outside rented housing. It comes from the environment, the loading, how the installation is used and what the last report found. A dusty feed mill and a clean dry workshop should not be on the same cycle. The inspector sets the next date, and it assumes the C1s were fixed immediately and the C2s urgently.
