First electrical inspection

[An Buachaillín Bán]

Hi all,

Hope you're all keeping well.

We're having a first electrical inspection soon and was looking for some advice please on how best to prepare. Has anyone had an initial inspection recently, and if so, what kind of questions or angles does the inspector look/go for. I'm confident on the testing side of it (Far from an expert on it) but any other advice on how best to prepare would be much appreciated.

Kind regards.

Hi, are you talking about an assessment by a competent person scheme? e.g. NAPIT / NICEIC ?

Hi Tim,

Yes it is for Safe Energy Ireland. They are the governing body who inspect electrical installations

While I sometimes work under the Safe Electric umbrella, I'm not in a position to answer your questions.

Perhaps @Risteard or @LastManOnline might pick up on this thread and provide the information you need.

They will check your Test Record Sheet against tests which they will have you perform in front of the Inspector. There's a fair chance you'll be asked to problem a whole installation insulation resistance test as part of this. Obviously in terms of inspection they will ensure that none of the Wiring Rules have been breached. You'll need a copy of I.S. 10101:2020 and also for audit calibration certificates for test equipment.
