Just to add (don't think this has already been mentioned)...
But the observations bit of the report (e.g. section K of page 397, BS7671) has area for observation comments and/or items needing "Further Investigation Required"
As mentioned on bullet point '9' over the page (398)......
We all know that on most PIR's only a sample of accessories are inspected...
there is nothing to stop you recommending a full inspection of any VIR circuits to establish the true condition of ALL cables and ALL accessories conected...
AND as Binky pointed out a couple of posts back...
You can always state that your recommended next inspection date is as short as you like....
e.g.
You could comment that from initial sample inspection VIR circuit IR tests appear satisfactory...
BUT you recommended further full investigation and inspection of said circuits..
With a full re-inspection of the installation within 3 months following these investigations!!
Sometimes you cannot easily correctly code an observation or categorically say it is satisfactory OR unsatisfactory without doing more comprehensive inspection & testing...
You are the competent person undertaking the inspection...
If you need further time and investigation to complete your evaluation then note it down...
there is NO law that says every installation must be fully and accurately assessed at the first visit!
