EICR Testing

The contractor will be expected to implement a fully comprehensive Schedule of Inspection and Testing (EICR) schedule across NHS Lothian as per the asset listing.

NHS Lothian utilises SFG 20 to determine suitable workplaces and schedules.

Work plan ‘44-11 & SHTM 06-23 – Period Inspection and Testing’ defines the requirements of this service.. Each distribution board shall be subject to 5 year inspection and test.

There will be occasions where power cannot be removed from Distribution Boards due to clinical risk. If this event exists, then there is a requirement to carry out Thermal Imaging of Electrical Systems (under 1000VAC) SFG Work plan 44-16 with Earth Loop Impedance test. Prior to this change being implemented it must be agreed by Head of Estates and Hard FM Area Manager and recorded through contract governance.

The SFG 20 work plan is contained within the suite of procurement documents available for download on PCS-Tender.
