Welcome to GM Electrical Engineers and Consultants

We aim to promote best practice by providing practical advice and guidance from start to completion with regards to design, install, and Inspection and Testing. The guidance is intended to protect customers and installers against dangerous situations that could arise from new and existing installations.

Types of guidance that we offer are:

Periodic inspection reporting – recommendation codes for domestic and similar electrical installations.

Purpose of periodic inspection, testing and reporting

The main purpose of periodic inspection and testing is to detect so far as is reasonably practicable, and to report on, any factors impairing or likely to impair the safety of an electrical installation.

The aspects to be covered include all of the following:

• Safety of persons against the effects of electric shock and burns
• Protection against damage to property by fire and heat arising from an installation defect
• Confirmation that the installation is not damaged or deteriorated so as to impair safety
• Identification of non-compliances with the current issue of BS 7671, or installation defects, which may give rise to danger.

Electrical installations in poor condition present risks of fire as well as electric shock
