Periodic Iinspection and Test of Electrical Installations

All electrical installations should be subject to Periodic Inspection and Testing to prevent:

• Damage through Wear and Tear
• Corrosion
• Excessive Electrical Loading
• Ageing
• Environmental Influences

Legislation requires that certain electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition and therefore must be periodically tested.

Periodic Inspection and Testing should be considered if:

• It is a requirement implied by Licensing Authorities, Public Bodies, Insurance Companies, Mortgagors and Landlords.
• Additionally, to assess compliance with the current IEE Wiring Regulations.
• On a change of ownership or tenancy of the premises.
• On a change of use of the premises.
• After alterations to the original installation.
• Because of any significant change in the electrical loading of the installation.
• Where there is a reason to believe that damage may have been caused to the installation.

Maximum periods allowed between Periodic Inspections:

Commercial Installations - 5 years.
Industrial Installations - 3 years.
Buildings open to the public - 1 year.
External Installations - 3 years.
Caravan Parks - 1 year.
Fire Alarms - 1 year.
Short Term Installations - 3 months.
Site Installations - 3 months.
