Periodic Inspection & Testing

The ‘Electricity at Work Regulations 1989’ in Regulations 4(1) and 4(2) lay down the requirement to ensure that an electrical installation should be designed, installed, constructed and maintained in a safe manner at all times. The basis for periodic inspection and testing is derived from Guidance Note 3 of the ‘IEE Wiring Regulations BS7671:2008’.

Inspection & Testing of an electrical installation generates a Periodic Inspection Report which is a condition report supplemented by testing results. The Periodic Inspection Report will normally consist of:

  • Client information and details of the installation
  • Supply characteristics and Earthing arrangements
  • Observation & Recommendations
  • Extent & Limitations of Testing
  • Summary of the Inspection
  • Inspection & Test Schedules

The Inspection of an electrical installation should be carried out in accordance with 712-01-03 of the ‘IEE Inspection and Testing Guidance Note 3’. Conducted by a team of two competent qualified inspectors, the Inspection can highlight a significant percentage of defects on an electrical system. These may include (amongst others): exposed conductors or terminations: broken covers, conduits or trunking: the lack of earthing on conductive parts and inadequate support or damage to cables.

The Testing of an electrical installation follows BS7671:2008 and comprises of:

  • C.P.C Continuity
  • Ring Circuit Continuity
  • Insulation Resistance
  • Polarity
  • Earth Fault Loop Impedance
  • Prospective Fault Current
  • Operation of Residual Current Devices
  • Functional Testing
