Periodic Testing and Inspection Certification
Periodic inspection and testing is necessary because all electrical installations deteriorate due to a number of factors, such as damage and wear, corrosion and ageing, excessive electrical loading and other environmental influences.
Consequently, legislation requires that electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition, and therefore must be periodically inspected and tested.
Licensing authorities, public bodies, insurance companies, mortgage lenders and other organisations will require up to date testing and inspection of electrical installations. Periodic testing should also be considered to assess compliance with BS 7671.
| Type of Installation | Maximum Period Between Inspections |
| Domestic | Change of Occupancy /10 years |

| Educational Establishments | 5 years |
| Industrial | 3 years |
| Residential | 5 years |
| Offices | 5 years |
| Shops | 5 years |
| Public Entertainment | 1 years |
| Petrol Filling Stations | 1 years |
