| Inspection, Testing and Certifcation |
|
This procedure comprises three main parts as follows; * Initial Verifcation; * Periodic Inspection and Testing; * Certifcation and Reporting. |
|
Inspection and testing - an integrated procedure : The activities of carrying out visual inspection and of then carrying out testing should be considered as complementary procedures. These procedures should not be considered to be separate functions carried out by separate individuals or organizations; this is particularly true of the inspection confrmation part of the inspection and testing. To illustrate this point: in general there would be little point in carrying out a continuity test on a cable if it had been found that some of its connection terminals were loose. The defect would need to be remedied before the test was conducted. It is suggested, for larger organizations, that a system be created that allows the installer to confrm facts about the visual inspection |

Visual inspection : The visual inspection part of the initial verifcation is the process of assessing the installation prior to testing. Regulation specifes the purpose of the visual inspection, summarized as follows: * Equipment complies with a product standard; * Equipment is correctly selected and erected; * Equipment is not damaged. Following Table summarizes the requirements for the inspection part of the initial verifcation |
