Electrical Report
Test and Inspections in Pudsey,
If the electrical wiring installation is old, or has been extensively altered or extended, or appears suspect, a Surveyor is likely to recommend that it is inspected and tested by an electrician (usually an NAPIT registered electrician). The NAPIT (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting), in co-operation with the British Standards Institution, sets the standards for electrical installations and testing of these.
NAPIT PERIODIC INSPECTION REPORT
Test and Inspections in Pudsey,
Very often a NAPIT Periodic Inspection Report will be carried out for a prospective homebuyer. It is a very detailed report, often far too detailed for a homebuyer, and could be considered unintelligible to all but an electrician.
The NAPIT Periodic Inspection Report must be presented on special forms. There are about seven different forms which must be used for each report. Each set of forms is provided with a unique reference at the top right corner - this allows the forms to be traced back to the NAPIT registered electrical contractor to whom they were originally supplied.
The Domestic Visual Condition Report
The domestic visual condition report can only report on the fixed electrics that can be physically seen within a dwelling, for example, condition of the socket outlets, lighting pendants etc. The visual survey does not include checks on any equipment with a 3 pin plug attached (portable appliances).
The completed domestic visual condition report cannot be used to confirm and does not state complete electrical safety within a dwelling.
Why then use?
Many customers use the report to gain a general view of the current visual state of the electrics within a dwelling.
