[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 5382, member: 250"] The wiring regulations are 'Guidance for good practice for electrical work'. But they are NON statutory.. it is only where other legal obligations require electrical certificates that it can be enforced.. (e.g. licencing requirements for pubs etc..) There are a set of procedures and guidelines for testing & inspecting electrical installation work to verify the safety of the installation and identify any areas of deterioration which present any hazard or danger to people, property or livestock. It is recommended a domestic property is inspected every 10 years or change of occupancy.. and a sticker indicating when the next inspection is due should be stuck near the fuse box, [URL="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/SPECIALLOCATION/NEXTINSPECTION.jpg"]with wording like this.[/URL] Any good landlord would ensure all reasonable safety checks are carried out on the electrical installtion... But I'm not sure if there is actually a legal obligation to have inspection carried out on rented property.. It may be a condition of an insurance policy? The certificate you would be looking for is a "Periodic Inspection Report". going back to your fault.... You could have a scenario where a faulty washing machine only produces the fault conditions during certain parts of the wash cycle.. e.g. rinse or drain when water is pumped out of the waste hose... forcing a leak though a damaged hose, over an internal electrical component??
