Industrial EICR & Safety Testing in Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester’s industrial sector runs on robust electrical infrastructure. From the logistics hubs at Trafford Park to the manufacturing facilities in Salford and Stockport, keeping electrical systems safe and compliant is essential for operational continuity.
Hawkesworth provides EICR and PAT testing designed for Manchester’s industrial and warehouse environments.
EICR Testing for Manchester Industrial Sites
An EICR checks your building’s fixed electrical installation, including wiring, distribution boards, 3-phase systems and motor control centres.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, industrial facilities in Manchester need an EICR every 3-5 years. Your certificate is a legal requirement and an insurance condition for commercial premises.
Industrial environments face harsh conditions: dust, vibration and high-amperage machinery accelerate wear on electrical systems. Our engineers understand these challenges and inspect accordingly.
PAT Testing for Industrial Equipment
PAT testing checks portable electrical equipment for safety. In Manchester’s factories and warehouses, that means testing industrial plant equipment, power tools and machinery used on the shop floor.
Our engineers check each item structurally and verify it can operate safely under industrial conditions. Faulty equipment gets flagged before it causes injury or downtime.
We schedule testing around your operations, working out of hours or during planned shutdowns to keep disruption minimal.
Why Manchester Industrial Sites Choose Hawkesworth
Downtime in an industrial facility affects production significantly. Our Manchester team works with you to schedule testing at times that suit your operations.
As a Hawkesworth customer, we track your compliance schedule and notify you when your next test is due, so compliance stays on track.
