Checklists
Requirements to be Used
(a) Periodic inspection and testing for a low voltage
installation which was connected to supply:
(i) before 1.1.1985 1
(ii) on or after 1.1.1985 and before 1.6.1992 1 and 2
(iii) on or after 1.6.1992 1, 2 and 3
(b) Inspection and testing carried out upon completion of 1, 2, 3
any electrical work for a low voltage installation and 4
(2) Test sequence
Where more than one of the checklists are to be used, the items to be
tested should follow the sequence stated in Code 21B(2)(a). The records
against the items of the checklists used do not indicate the test sequence.
(3) Checklist for high voltage installations
For high voltage installations that are required to be inspected, tested
and certified at least once every year, records showing the results of the
items of inspection and testing performed according to checklist
numbered 5 in Appendix 13 are generally acceptable. Recommendation
for testing of high voltage installations given in relevant recognised
standards and manufacturers for commissioning and periodic tests,
where appropriate, should also be used.
(4) Content of checklists
(a) The checklists given in Appendix 13 contain a number of important
items to be recorded after an inspection and testing and they are
given to indicate generally the minimum requirements for record
purposes only. The registered electrical worker carrying out the
inspections and tests should fill in test results and the rating of key
items where indicated in the checklists; and must certify with date
on each individual item of inspection and testing listed. The use of
initials for such certification is acceptable if a sample of the initial
against a full signature of the registered electrical worker has been
given in the records. Where any item listed in the checklists is not
applicable to the installation under inspection and testing, the
registered electrical worker should also certify it to be so. The use of
the abbreviation ‘N/A’ is acceptable for this purpose. The registered
electrical worker should also ensure that all other relevant inspection
