Periodic Inspection

[rus1969]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me a query I have with Periodic Inspection.

Our contracted electricians are currently carrying out Inspections on a number of our properties,that were installed to the 16th Edition. However due to the changes from the 16th Edition to the 17th, do we now have to ensure that the entire installation complies with the 17th edition.

No, as long as the installations comply to the 16th edition wiring regulations, if that is indeed the time any changes etc were carried out they will be acceptable, non compliance of 17th edition regulations will only come into play if anything is found that does not comply to any wiring regulations, if this is the case any new work will have to comply to 17th edition
