Electrical Safety

Under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, and certain other regulations, electrical appliances and equipment provided in tenanted properties must be safe. It is therefore necessary to arrange a qualified electrician to carry out a comprehensive check to ensure that all electrical items, plugs and leads are completely safe and undamaged and to remove or replace any faulty items.

In particular, each item should be:

• Well maintained, complete and in full working order.
  
  
• Supplied with a mains lead in good condition without wear, fraying or joining repairs and that it is secure at both the plug and appliance.
  
  
• Accompanied by user instructions, guidelines and warnings.
  
  
• Fitted with the correct plug of the latest approved type (BS1363) with sleeved live and neutral pins and also fitted with the correctly rated fuse.
