Testing And Checking Installations FAQs

How does the two-year rule affect a sale?

Regulations restrict a change of ownership where the certificate is older than two years.

What if wiring changed later?

An addition or alteration generally needs documentation for at least the affected work.

Does inspection guarantee a certificate?

No. Defects may need correction and retesting by an appropriately authorised person.

What does a CoC cover?

It relates to the fixed installation and its test report, not every portable appliance.
