Periodic Inspection Reports
Ensure Safety, Compliance, and Peace of Mind
Why Are Periodic Inspection Reports (PIR) Important?
Electrical installations naturally deteriorate with age and use. To ensure safety and compliance, it is essential to have these installations inspected and tested periodically, tailored to their specific use and environment. This ensures adherence to the National Rules for Electrical Installations – ET101.
A PIR is a comprehensive evaluation designed to identify the condition of an electrical installation—whether good or in need of attention.

Periodic Inspection Reports
FAQ
A periodic inspection is a detailed examination performed by certified electrical professionals to assess the condition, safety, and performance of your building’s electrical installation and identify potential risks or hazards.
Enhance Electrical Safety
Safeguard your workplace and staff from electrical shocks, injuries, or potential fire hazards caused by faulty appliances and wiring.
Prolong Equipment Lifespan
Our expert technicians can identify hidden wiring or equipment faults that, if left unchecked, could shorten the lifespan of your electrical systems and devices.
Lower Insurance Risks
Routine testing and certification of your premises demonstrate compliance with current health and safety laws, helping to reduce insurance liabilities.
Boost Workplace Efficiency
Regular electrical maintenance minimises downtime and disruptions, allowing your team to work efficiently and continuously.
The cost of a periodic inspection varies based on the property size, number of fuse boards, electrical installations, and other site-specific factors. Contact our team for a personalised quote that suits your exact requirements.
Periodic electrical inspections are legally required under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. For detailed legal guidance, visit the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) website.
Most businesses must undergo electrical inspections every 5 years. However, some environments require checks every 3 years, depending on the type of premises and usage. We can advise you on the appropriate frequency for your business.
Once an inspection is completed, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your electrical systems, including any faults found and recommended corrective actions. A certificate of inspection is then issued to confirm regulatory compliance.
If any faults or failures are identified, our electrician will note them in the report along with explanations and the necessary corrective actions. We can also provide a quote for any remedial work needed to bring your system up to standard.
Yes — by law, all workplaces must carry out periodic electrical inspections under the 2007 Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations.
To minimise disruption, inspections are usually carried out outside of business hours, either early morning, evening, or on weekends. This ensures safety and efficiency, as power will need to be turned off for certain parts of the process.
- A single office floor: roughly 2 hours
- A 3-storey building: about 6 hours
- A 2-bedroom home or apartment: around 2 hours
The Grading System for PIR Reports
The inspection report uses a straightforward numbering system to categorize the required actions:
- Requires urgent attention – Immediate action needed to ensure safety.
- Requires improvement – Significant issues that should be addressed promptly.
- Requires some attention – Minor issues that need attention in due course.
- Does not comply with current National Rules for Electrical Installations* – While non-compliance doesn’t necessarily mean the installation is unsafe, it indicates areas for potential improvement.
- *Note: A non-compliance doesn’t always equate to danger but may highlight areas needing modernization or updates.
