The frequency of the periodic inspection and testing must be determined taking into account:
- the type of installation
- its use and operation
- the frequency and quality of maintenance
- the external influences to which it is subjected.
It is recommended that periodic inspection and testing is carried out at least every:
- 10 years for a domestic installation
- 5 years for a commercial installation
- 1 year for swimming pools
Other instances when a periodic inspection should be carried out are:
- When a property is being prepared to be let
- Prior to selling a property or when buying a previously occupied property
Periodic inspection and testing is necessary because all installations deteriorate due to a number of factors, such as damage, wear, tear, corrosion, excessive electrical loading’ ageing and environmental influences. Consequently:
- legislation requires that electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition and therefore must be periodically tested
- licensing authorities, public bodies, insurance companies, mortgage lenders and others may require periodic inspection and testing of electrical installations
- additionally, periodic inspection and testing should be considered:
- (to access compliance with BS7671 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- on change of occupancy of the premises
- on change of use of the premises
- after alterations or additions to the original installation
- because of any significant change in the electrical loading of the installation where there is reason to believe that damage may have been caused to the installation.
