Electrical Inspecting and Testing

Electrical Inspecting and Testing

Electrical installations deteriorate with age and use. They should therefore be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued service.

An Electrical Installation condition report will:

• Reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded
• Find any potential electric shock risks and fire hazards
• Identify any defective electrical work
• Highlight any lack of earthing or bonding

How often is an electrical installation condition report required?

• Up to 10 years for an owner-occupied home
• 5 years for a rented home
• 3 years for a caravan
• 1 year for a swimming pool

Periodic inspection and testing should be carried out only by electrically competent persons, such as registered electricians. They will check the condition of the electrics against the UK standard for the safety of electrical installations, BS 7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations (IEE Wiring Regulations).
