Periodic Inspections
Legislation requires fixed wiring testing be carried out every one to five years in most workplaces. In compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989, all work activities and rented accommodation must take precautions to avoid the risk of death or personal injury. Electrical Wiring Regulations also suggest time intervals for various electrical installations and these are listed at the foot of this page.
It is important to appreciate that the regular inspection and testing of all electrical installations is a requirement of the Electricity at Work Regulations. The time interval concerned will, of course, depend on the type of installation and on the way in which it is used. The table below shows the suggested intervals between periodic tests and inspections.
