Periodic Electrical Inspection & Verification

Periodic electrical inspections for commercial premises across the greater Auckland & Hamilton regions, with a Certificate of Periodic Verification signed off by a registered electrical inspector.

Periodic Electrical Inspection - Commercial Premises

Checks are carried out to confirm that electrical installations are neither damaged nor deteriorated and that there are no dangerous defects. Inspections follow AS/NZS 3019, the standard insurers refer to.

It also allows you to check that parts are safe for continued use to prevent fire and protect people from electric shock.

Vero Insurance says, “Faulty electrical installations result in a significant number of fires every year. Periodic verification of electrical systems and installations carried out in line with NZ Standard 3019 is a good way of ensuring an electrical system or installation is in a safe condition. This can help you stay on top of any issues before people get hurt or property is damaged.”

Frequency of Periodic Electrical Inspections in Commercial Premises

How frequently are periodic electrical inspections in commercial premises required? Rather than taking our word for it, here is the answer straight from insurance giant
Vero:

“Regularity is key, both for verification and maintenance. The frequency boils down to a few factors, including the type of installation and equipment you have, what it’s used for, and the environmental conditions – for example, a corrosive atmosphere.”
