Our Voltimum Experts answer your questions on a daily basis in our Technical Expertise area. This one, concerning periodic inspection and testing and certification, and whether they can be omitted if planned electrical maintenance is carried out, is answered by the NICEIC:
I have read a lot of maintenance guides, including IET publications, and have worked within a number of planned maintenance regimes, but as yet I have not found a definitive guide to what is a suitable system of electrical maintenance. Is there one?
Answer: The IET publications 'Electrical Maintenance' and 'In Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment Guide', together with HSE Guidance, are the only sources of reference that appear to be available.
The IET has also provided a two-day course titled 'Electrical Maintenance', and may still do so. This is structured around its book, details of which are to be found on the IET website www.theiet.org or by emailing [email protected]
