Manufacturing & Industrial Testing
Reduce downtime and protect people, plant and production. EICR reports, thermal imaging inspections, emergency lighting testing, PAT testing, and clear documentation for audits, insurers and dutyholders across Scotland.
EICR reports for factories and industrial sites
Periodic inspection and testing of fixed wiring with coded observations and practical next steps. HSE advises arranging inspection and testing of fixed wiring installations to minimise deterioration leading to danger.
Lighting Design, Lux Levels & Glare Control
Infrared scanning of live distribution boards, MCCs and higher load panels to highlight abnormal heat and developing issues. It supports proactive maintenance, it does not replace an EICR.
Emergency lighting testing, records, and remedials
Testing support with clear logbooks and prioritised defects, important for escape routes, stairwells, and shared access areas on industrial estates. Your service follows monthly functional checks plus an annual full-rated duration test.
PAT testing for portable equipment and site welfare areas
A practical, risk-based approach for portable appliances and equipment, aligned to environment and use. HSE highlights that it is a myth everything needs a yearly PAT, the duty is to maintain equipment to prevent danger.
Periodic condition inspections for critical assets
Targeted inspections of key distribution, critical circuits, and known problem areas, useful between full test cycles or where you want a focused snapshot of higher risk assets.
Insurance compliance certification and documentation packs
When insurers or audits ask for “electrical certificates”, we confirm what applies, coordinate the right checks around access and shutdown windows, and provide a tidy compliance pack with clear next steps.
Manufacturing and industrial environments
Testing and inspection that fits shutdown windows and live production
Industrial electrical systems work hard, higher loads, longer run times, harsher environments, and constant change as equipment and layouts evolve. Testing and inspection is how you stay ahead of deterioration, reduce fault risk, and keep documentation ready for insurers, audits, and dutyholder responsibilities.
HSE’s guidance is clear, electrical installations should be tested often enough that there is little chance of deterioration leading to danger. If something becomes obviously defective between tests, it should be de-energised until the fault is fixed.
We plan testing around your operational constraints, including phased isolations and shutdown windows, and we provide clear reporting with prioritised actions.

Uptime, risk control, and audit-ready records
Common manufacturing and industrial testing triggers
- Insurance renewal, audit pressure, or a request for “electrical certificates”
- High load distribution, heat build-up concerns, repeated nuisance trips, or ageing boards
- RCDs or protective devices tripping repeatedly, HSE states an RCD is a valuable safety device and should never be bypassed
- Shutdown windows are available, and you want testing planned to make best use of them
- New machinery, process changes, layout moves, and you want a clean compliance baseline
- Documentation gaps, mixed contractor history, no clear compliance trail
- Emergency lighting records are incomplete, or defects keep reappearing
- You want fewer reactive faults, so you are combining EICR, thermal imaging, and targeted condition checks into a planned programme
If any of these sound familiar, we can confirm what applies to your site, then deliver a practical testing plan with clear results, prioritised actions, and straightforward next steps.
