Electrical installation testing: defining the inspection and its records
What needs checking

Electrical installation testing: questions and answers
Is every testing visit the same as a full EICR?
No. Testing may relate to new work, a repair or a particular investigation. Agree the purpose and documentation so the scope is clear.
Will I receive documentation covering the whole property?
Documentation should match the scope of the new or altered work. Testing a particular circuit does not automatically certify every part of the installation.
What affects the quotation for electrical installation testing?
Installation size, equipment inventory, agreed limitations and access determine the testing scope and quotation. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
