HV Authorised Engineers and auditing requirements?

Hi

Is anyone able to direct me to any legislation where it requires independent auditing (or any involvement) by HV Authorised Engineers and the frequency this should be carried out please? The only reference to auditing I can find so far is HTM 06-03. I would like to know is auditing statutory, best practise etc. and where does this come from?

  • I don’t know of any specific legislation that specifically states the requirement for Authorising Engineers ( HV or LV) however general H&S legislation and HSE guidance calls for/ recommends external auditing/ support from competent persons. Whilst some market sectors specifically use the term Authorising Engineer ( MOD JSP 375, NHS HTM etc) most bodies managing HV & LV distribution assets have similar roles. HSG 85 from HSE is a good place to start.
