Hi all, my father in law has a rental property that was completely rewired and with new split load CU five years ago. The installation is now due an inspection. Will the fact that the CU is plastic constitute a "fail"?
Actually, reading the legislation again, not only does it not stipulate a list of items to be inspected, but it doesn't even say that the report has to be an inspection against "the electrical safety standards".
Seriously, it doesn't. Read Section 3 - (1) (a) to (c) in the most pedantic way you can think of, rather than assuming it means what it ought to say.
Does 3 - (1) (a) not say that?
"(a) ensure that the electrical safety standards are met during any period when the residential premises(2) are occupied under a specified tenancy;"
