Cable Audit App turns cable audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each cable against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare cable audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Cable Audit App runs a scored cable audit covering insulation and sheath condition, terminations and glands, thermographic hotspots, routing, support, and segregation, and earthing and bonding, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, cable findings live on paper and in chat. A cable fault such as insulation or sheath damage slips through. An audit then means rebuilding cable evidence from folders.
Cable Audit App keeps one record per cable and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each cable finding is tracked to verified closure. Electrical engineering teams see cable completion and overdue actions across the energy & utilities portfolio. Every cable record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Cable Audit App?
A comprehensive cable audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit cable programmes with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking across runs. Your audit should include sections for insulation and sheath condition, terminations and glands, and thermographic hotspots, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Cable Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a cable audit:
Open the cable audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each cable against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall cable score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed cable criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the cable audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Cable Audit Cover?
A cable audit scores condition against BS 7671 and IEC standards, checking insulation and sheath condition, terminations and glands, thermographic hotspots, routing, support, and segregation, and earthing and bonding. Each cable finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the cable audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Cable Audit App Scores a Cable Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the cable audit template.
Step 2
Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each cable non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed cable criteria become corrective actions.

What Cable Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Cable work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Cable Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
The same cable defect comes back every cycle
Insulation or sheath damage, loose or hot termination, thermal hotspot, unsupported or unsegregated routing on the cable are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each cable defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The cable root cause is never addressed.
Cable data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some cable records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the cable, so every cable question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Cable records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the cable record
Answering a simple cable question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every cable check and finding
Every cable photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or cable and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the cable audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The cable audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Cable scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Cable sections get skipped with no record
Cable scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted cable criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory cable sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable cable scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Cable Audit App check on a cable audit?
Cable Audit App runs a scored cable audit against BS 7671 and IEC standards, checking insulation and sheath condition, terminations and glands, thermographic hotspots, routing, support, and segregation, and earthing and bonding. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for electrical engineering teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which cable defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the cable failures that matter most: insulation or sheath damage, loose or hot termination, thermal hotspot, and unsupported or unsegregated routing. Left unchecked, a fault such as insulation or sheath damage can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so electrical engineering teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Cable Audit App support for cable work?
Cable Audit App keeps cable checks aligned to BS 7671 and IEC standards. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, electrical engineering teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run cable checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Cable Audit App is offline-first: teams complete cable checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So electrical engineering teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a cable audit was completed?
Every completed cable audit carries thermography image, termination photo, and insulation test note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, electrical engineering teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
