Regulation 642.2 (iii)
The inspection shall be made to verify that the installed Electrical equipment is:
Not visibly damaged or defective so as to impair safety.
This is from the 18th edition so naturally it’s predecessor may be different but I do not have the 17th available at the moment to compare.
Now admittedly this forms part of the initial verification process but I’d be prepared to use the same regulation method for periodic inspection
Also see 651.2 regarding periodic inspection and testing note (ii) in particular
I was going to look for a specific Reg tomorrow but I had absolutely no doubt that a Reg would be there to cover this.
How can anyone even think it is ok to no code this is beyond me.
