Fixed Installation Testing or Electrical Installation Condition Reports, should be carried out on domestic electrical installations every 10 years or at change of occupancy. These tests are done to make sure the electrical installation meets current standards and is safe to remain in service.
The inspection involves visually checking the condition of all wiring, sockets, switches, light fittings, fuseboards, earthing and bonding.
Electrical testing is done to measure the adequacy of all wiring and Circuit Protective Devices (fuse, circuit breaker, or RCD) to promptly disconnect the supply under fault conditions.
