The Fire Safety Act 2021 was introduced to clarify and strengthen existing fire safety legislation in England and Wales. It places greater responsibility on those managing multi-occupied residential and commercial buildings, ensuring fire safety risks are fully understood and addressed.

For years, navigating the world of building safety and regulatory compliance has felt complicated and fragmented. You might work with one specialist for your fire systems, another for water quality, and yet another for electrical testing. It's a system that creates administrative waste, unnecessary risk, and makes it hard to get a complete, clear picture of your building's health.

Thermographic imaging is a powerful tool for identifying potential electrical faults before they become serious problems. By using specialist thermal cameras, engineers can detect heat patterns that indicate issues such as overloading, loose connections, or failing components.

For businesses, this proactive approach helps reduce risks, avoid costly downtime, and demonstrate compliance with electrical safety regulations.

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is an important part of ensuring electrical safety in the workplace. While not every item must be tested, many appliances pose risks if they are not properly maintained. Understanding which appliances need testing helps you stay compliant and protect your people, property, and business.

We are proud to announce that EIAT, part of Complii, has been certified as a Carbon Neutral Organisation. This recognition reflects our commitment to sustainability and our responsibility to minimise environmental impact across our operations.

Complii, the UK leader in integrated safety and regulatory compliance across electrical, fire, and water, has announced the appointment of Sarah Dixon as their new Chief Executive Officer.

Emergency lighting is an essential component of any building’s safety system. The UK’s legal requirements for emergency lighting are outlined in the Fire Safety Order 2005 and the British Standard BS 5266-1.

According to these regulations, emergency lighting systems must be installed in all premises where people are expected to gather or occupy, such as public buildings, workplaces, and communal residential areas. The purpose of emergency lighting is to provide enough illumination to enable people to safely evacuate the building in the event of a power outage or other emergency.

Complii has strengthened its electrical division through a merger with Electrical Test Midlands (ETM), a specialist in electrical testing and compliance with over 20 years’ experience.
