Inspection and testing techniques
The testing installation implies the use instruments obtain
readings. The
aim the visual inspection con-
firm that all equipment and accesso-
ries are undamaged and comply with
the relevant British and European
Standards, and also that the installa-
tion has been securely and correctly
erected.
Definition
All existing installations should be
periodically inspected and tested to
ensure that they are safe and meet
the regulations the IEE (Regulations
610 634).
All new installations must inspected and tested during erection and
upon completion before being put into service. All existing installations
should periodically inspected and tested ensure that they are safe
and meet the regulations (IEE Regulations 610 634). This current must not cause danger any person equipment in
contact with the installation, even the circuit being tested faulty. The

sories are undamaged and comply with the relevant British and European
Standards, and also that the installation has been securely and correctly
