Section 2: Extent and agreed limitations of the Examination
Extent of Installation covered by this report:Type of installation: Choose an item.
The premises consist of a Choose an item storey building with production, dispatch, administration and welfare areas.
The installation comprises of XXXXXX distribution boards and/or consumer units, designated as INLXX to INLXX inclusive, and an Origin of Supply situated within the XXXXXX area. The installation was subjected inspection and where necessary testing, except where defined in “Limitations” below.
Limitations:
Scope of Examination “Type B” agreed with client, due to power not being removed from installation.
Refer to “Limitations” in Scope of Inspection and Testing.
No records, drawings or manuals were available at this visit.
Inspection and Testing was restricted to those parts of the installation considered to be Landlord’s Fixtures and Fittings.
High mounted luminaries and equipment were inaccessible and therefore not inspected nor subjected to testing.
Insulation Resistance Testing was not applied to any part of this installation due to the fitting of accessories and equipment sensitive to this test.
A true value of Ze (external earth loop impedance) could not be measured at the origin, as the removal of power would cause interruption to operation and/or production, however the measured value of Zs is satisfactory.
Visual Inspection
Where accessible the fixed electrical installation will be subjected to visual inspection, this inspection will include accessible Distribution Boards and/or Consumer Units, accessible conductors and protective conductors, and upto 10% of socket outlets, switching devices and luminaries.
The visual inspection will also include the requirement for correct labelling.
Supplementary Testing-General
Supplementary Testing may be limited by factors such as incorrectly or ambiguously marked circuits/protective devices and, that the power could not be removed from the installation.
Supplementary Testing-Continuity of Earthing Conductors and Protective Bondings
Continuity Testing of accessible protective conductors to include Earthing Conductors, Main Protective Bondings, Supplementary Protective Bondings where a measurement greater than 0.05Ω will be deemed excessive.
Supplementary Testing-Continuity of Earthing Conductors and Protective Bondings
Accessible Circuit Protective Conductors, and upto 10% of Fixed Equipment and Machinery. A measurement greater than 1Ω will be deemed excessive.
Supplementary Testing-Polarity
Polarity Testing of conductors to ensure correct connection and termination at Distribution Boards and/or Consumer Units, Protective Devices (to ensure fitted to phase conductors only), and upto 10% of fixed equipment and machinery.
Supplementary Testing-Earth Fault Loop Impedance
Earth Fault Loop Impedance testing will be carried out to the Origin of Supply, accessible Distribution Boards and/or Consumer Units, accessible socket Outlets, and 10% of Fixed Equipment and Machinery. A measurement greater than the “75% Rule of Thumb” will be deemed excessive.
Supplementary Testing-Operation of Devices
Where accessible and clearly labelled upto 10% devices and switches will be tested for satisfactory operation
Supplementary Testing-Residual Current Devices (RCD)
All accessible and clearly labelled RCD’s to be tested. A measurement greater than 40ms for final circuits will be deemed excessive.
Supplementary Testing-Prospective Fault Current –
Prospective Fault Current Testing will be carried out to the Origin of Supply and accessible Distribution Boards and/or Consumer Units.
Supplementary Testing-Insulation Resistance Testing
To be carried out at the discretion of the Inspecting Engineer of up to 10% of the accessible circuits.
Section 3: Scope of Inspection and Testing
Inspection Method / To carry out a visual inspection of the electrical installation where accessible.Electrical
Testing / To supplement the visual inspection with electrical testing as considered necessary for protection against electric shock from direct or indirect contact
Where insulation resistance testing is carried out it will be the duty of the owner/occupier to ensure that all appliances and /or accessories are unplugged before the test and reinstated after the test, and that isolation of the installation to be tested had been agreed. Inspection Network Limited will not be liable for any damage resulting from this test.
Limitations / The inspection and testing will be conducted where practicable at the discretion of the Inspecting Engineer, taking into account installation availability, accessibility and any limitations agreed with the client. High level equipment and luminaries will not be inspected/tested unless safe access facilities have been provided.
Cables concealed within trunking and conduits, or cables and conduits concealed under floors, roof spaces, ceiling voids and generally within the fabric of the building will not be visually inspected.
Supplementary testing will not be carried out on any unidentified, incorrectly identified, or ambiguously marked circuit or distribution board/consumer unit.
Insulation resistance testing will be not carried out on any circuit which contains discharge lighting, electronic or similar sensitive circuitry and accessories, this includes heating and ventilation controls. Similarly Insulation Resistance testing will not be carried out on any unidentified or incorrectly identified part of the installation.
Exclusions / The following specialist areas are subject to separate contract and do not form part of the Periodic Inspection and Test
a. Emergency lighting systems
b. Lightning protection systems
c. Lift installations
d. Potentially explosive atmosphere installations, which are subject to local authority requirements
e. Any part of the installation which involves working at heights.
f. Systems in excess of 1000Volts
g. Fire, security and door entry systems
h. Data/telecommunication systems
i. Heating and ventilation controls and equipment
Report / The Electrical Installation Condition Report reflects the condition and status of the installation at time of inspection and testing.
