Water ingression - testing requirements

[Billy Barnowl]

Quick ?
We all know that if there has been water ingression then the circuits showed be fully inspected and tested before being re-energised. However does anybody know the reg or legislation that states this please?
Thanks
Billy

There isn’t one in the regs books, but common sense says an inspection must be done

Why do you ask?

He says Quick, obviously posting under the pub table. Feed him a random reg number

As a spark it is for me common sense.
I need a legal reason to demand the inspection is completed.

More best practice than a reg.
I know a certain person who will just take for instance a light fitting down leaving a connector block still live with tape over the switch till the water stops and then return and stick the same light fitting up

I’d be writing a report stating that in your professional opinion you recommend that I&T is carried out and why stating the risks involved and the potential outcomes if it isn’t done and hand it to the appropriate person maybe with an electrical danger notification attached. That way it ain’t your problem anymore.
