What Is A Periodic Inspection? A periodic inspection is also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Reports PAT tested
Once everything has been successfully tested, you must provide your tenants with a copy of your Electrical Installations Condition Report. If the report highlights any faults with an appliance, you must have the issue investigated and resolved by a competent electrician within 28 days of the initial inspection date. You must then provide written confirmation that everything has now met the safety standards. As this is a legal requirement, failure to comply could lead to a fine of up to £30,000.

The Importance Of Periodic Testing Landlords have a duty of care, and ensuring that all electricals within the property is important. Periodic inspections ensure that no electrical installations or appliances have deteriorated or become dangerous to use. Over time and with use, electrical installations begin to deteriorate and must therefore be carefully PAT tested by a professional to ensure they are still fully functional.
When we carry out PAT testing on an appliance, we test a range of things to show whether the appliance has passed or failed. We test the earth continuity, lead polarity among other aspects. It is a quick and easy process and once each appliance has completed the test, we label them with a safety sticker. For the increased safety of your tenants, we recommend that any appliances they have are to be tested too.
With ensuring that everything has been deemed safe for use, you and your tenants can relax. Your tenants can put their full confidence in you, knowing that they have a reliable and competent landlord.
