Fixed wire / Periodic Test / Electrical Conditioning Report
UNDERTAKING
The intention of this document is to provide an undertaking, the requirements of which are set down in the:
- Electricity at Work Regulation 1989
- British Standards No. 7671 2008 as amended
- I.E.E. Guidance Note No. 3 2nd Edition Part 2
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of the work is to give a professional opinion of the installations condition by carrying out visual inspections and instrument test of those parts of the Fixed Wiring Installation which are accessible.
The test and inspections would comprise:
Characteristics of supply at the origin of the installation.
- Visual inspection.
- C.P.C. continuity test.
- Ring Circuit Continuity.
- Insulation resistance test.
- Polarity check.
- Earth fault loop impedance test.
- Prospective short circuit currents.
- Operation of residual current devices.
ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Reg 301)
301.1 An assessment shall be made of the following characteristics of the installation in accordance with the chapters indicated:
The purpose for which the installation is intended to be used, its general structure and its supplies (Chapter 31).
The external influences to which it is exposed. (Chapter 32).
The compatibility of its equipment. (Chapter 33).
Its maintainability. (Chapter 34).
Recognised safety services. (Chapter 35).
Assessment for continuity of service. (Chapter 36).
SUPPLY (Reg. 313.1)
The characteristics of supply at the origin of the installation would be determined and would include the following:
- Nominal voltage.
- Nature of current and frequency.
- Prospective short circuit current..
- External earth fault loop impedance. (Ze).
- Type of rating of supplier’s overcurrent protective device.
