What’s agreed with client,domestic say 8 way Db,most properly all.
commercial/industrial,18 way,Tpn 48 circuits 25%.
Make note of tested circuits,next time do reminder,this may differ if tests prove unsatisfactory.
 
It is so hard to say , some are easy to get at and some are near impossible .
It also depends on what is agreed with the person ordering the work.
Also in a busy place it can slow you down , or even stop you working for periods.
 
I used to work for a company a few years a go we had to do about 40 circuits a day but we done our testing to a high standard

But there are some companies who do a bonus scheme, minimum might be about 30a day but they want you to do more. But the standards were not high.
 
Do you mean actually tested? As opposed to Lim or agreed limitations. Because with the preceding it has been possible to credibly appear to test a lot more of an installation than has actually been tested/inspected at an agreed 25%. With agreed limitations such as an office that cannot be tested due to just not being able to get in there it can seem as if a larger installation with 60 36way DBs can apparently be done in a couple of weeks i.e. ten days equating to 216 circuits (apparently) per day. Again it depends on age and labelling of circuits but in my experience with a mate I could do a 36 way DB in a day given lims and F.I. options. Bear in mind EICR is more visual than testing/taking apart. Tests are fairly quick usually as it goes. A lot of variables really to have a definitive number in all cases.
