[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 443183, member: 1607"] Have you got access to or a copy of Guidance Note 3, 'Inspection & Testing'? Section 3.7 & Table 3.2 discuss the frequency of periodic inspections. As Steptoe points out it is not just the type of work you have done, also the type of environment the installation is in; Domestic dwellings, Residential accommodation, Commercial, Educational, Industrial, Offices, Shops, Hospitals, Cinemas, Pubs, Churches etc, all have very different typical wear and tear usage, as such the same type of circuit but in a different environment, used by people who may be skilled, unskilled, trained, supervised etc can all need different frequency of inspection and testing to verify continued safe operation. When giving a recommended duration before the next inspection, you should have a understanding of these concepts to be able to justify your reasons, not just a put down a number because that's what we always do type of answer..
