KC India is providing successful wire testing. Fixed Wire testing lab, which used to be known as 'Periodic Inspection and Testing (PIR), and now sometimes called ECIR) is a way of checking that the wiring in the building is up to scratch. This involves everything from the incoming supply point (distribution board or 'fuse box') through to the point of use (mains socket or light fittings) and everything in between (cables, junction’s boxes and switches.)
The process is similar to PAT Testing, in that engineers carry out visual inspections on the wiring systems along with some electrical tests. The process is more involved, however, and will require parts of the installation to be shut down for a short period for the testing to be carried out. For this reason, Fixed Wire Testing is normally done outside normal hours.
We produce custom premium quality round and flat wire that is manufactured and tested to customer specifications. KC India wire testing lab is performed in accordance with our ISO 9001:2008 certified quality management system. Testing capabilities include dimensional inspection, tensile testing, and measurement of the electrical resistance in the wire. Dimensional inspection equipment is capable of measuring wire with a resolution of 0.00001" and an accuracy of ±0.00005". For applications that require the highest degree of precision, we can provide an ultra finish using diamond dies, that results in the tightest dimensional tolerances and smoothest surface finish available.
Unlike Portable Appliance Testing, whereby the employer is encouraged to set up inspection and test frequencies based on risk, the frequency of inspection and testing is more clearly laid down in the IET wiring regulations, and compliance with the following schedule is normally required. KC India Wire Testing Laboratories test results always have these benefits.
