Pereodic Testing
Fixed Installation Testing may also be known as:
- Periodic Inspection & Testing
- Fixed Wire Testing
- Hard Wire Testing
- Test & Inspection
- Fixed Testing
- Periodic Testing
- Electrical Testing
Periodic tests should be made in such a way as to minimise disturbance of the installation and inconvenience to the user. Where it is necessary to disconnect part or whole of the installation in order to carry out a test, the disconnection should be made at a time agreed with the user and for the minimum period needed to carry out the test. Where more than one test necessitates a disconnection where possible they should be made during one disconnection period.
A careful check should be made of the type of equipment on site so that the necessary precautions can be taken, where conditions require, to disconnect or short-out electronic and other equipment which may be damaged by testing."
Periodic Testing inevitably causes some disruption on the site due to the requirements for disconnecting electrical circuits at various times during the testing. For this reason careful planning and time management is a necessity, and in practice testing is often best performed outside of normal working hours.
Frequency of Inspection and Testing
- Domestic 10 years or change of occupancy
- Commercial 5 years or change of occupancy
- Industrial 3 years or change of occupancy
The frequencies shown here are suggestions - the actual period recommended should take into account any other relevant factors. If premises are subject to licensing conditions, the licensing authority will specify the period between inspection and testing.
