Periodic Inspection reports is the inspection of the condition of an existing electrical installation, identifying in order of priority any deficiencies against the national safety standard for electrical installations.
Periodic Inspection Reports will:
- Reveal if any electrical circuits or equipment is overloaded
- Find any potential shock and fire hazards in the installation
- Identify any defective DIY electrical work
- Highlight any lack of earthing or bonding
Tests are also carried out on wiring and associated fixed electrical equipment to check that it is safe and a schedule of circuits is developed during the inspection.
