Is there any definition or guidance as to what a 'Routine Check' should cover

There is very detailed guidance readily available as to what is necessary to cover for the formal periodic inspections of electrical installations, however there appears to be a dearth of information as to what should be covered in the interim routine checks. Is anyone aware of a checklist that would clarify this.

Many thanks for any advice.

  • In my view a routine inspection should include;

    Operate the test button on all RCDs/RCBOs.

    External visual examination of all reasonably accessible parts of the installation, looking for heat damage or scorching and broken or missing parts.

    A more thorough inspection of anything added or modified since the last full test.

    Check for excessive or inappropriate use of extension leads and for appliances plugged into lamp sockets.
