EV chargepoint safety checks
Charging is not the same as being safe.
A focused electrical safety check for EV charging equipment, its supply and the protective measures intended to keep users and property safe.
Why check it
High load, frequent use and an exposed environment.
Chargepoints can remain operational while connections, enclosures or protective arrangements have deteriorated. Damage, overheating, water ingress, impact, alterations and changes elsewhere in the installation can all matter.
The exact inspection and test scope is confirmed for the equipment and installation before work starts.
- Physical condition and signs of damage
- Supply and isolation arrangements
- Relevant protective devices
- Electrical test results within the agreed scope
- Labelling, location and reported observations
Who it is for
From a single driveway to workplace charging.
Checks can support homeowners after damage or concern, landlords managing installed charging equipment and businesses responsible for staff, visitor or fleet chargepoints.
If a wider installation concern is found, we will explain whether further investigation or an EICR is appropriate.
