[QUOTE="Silk6911, post: 14917, member: 1360"] Hi guys just joined. Anybody got experience on the testing procedure for temporary installations. Talking here about outdoor marquee events,fairs,concerts etc. Like to know if this type of installation has to be tested to BS 7671 (eg full 100% testing of every circuit at end of line, (R1 +R2, ins res etc) ,assuming same company has installed all wiring everywhere. Every cct is RCBO protected from local weatherproof distribution units and all temp.lights have been PAT tested proir to install. Most of wiring is done with PVC leads 16 amp c form weatherproof plugs/sockets. Could i possibly just test to local distro of each tent? Prove al RCBO's are good and get Zs at each output socket prior to plugging in lead? I believe there is another BS standard which could be adhered to for temporary installations but dont know much about it. Any comments welcome, cheers [/QUOTE]
