NOTES FOR RECIPIENT

THIS TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING PERIODIC INSPECTION REPORT IS AN IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE DOCUMENT

WHICH SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The purpose of this periodic inspection report is to identify, so far as is reasonably practicable, whether an electrical installation in a transportable building is in a satisfactory condition for continued service. This report provides an assessment of the condition of the transportable building identified overleaf at the time it was inspected, taking into account the stated extent of the installation and the limitations of the inspection and testing.

The report has been issued in accordance with the national standard for the safety of electrical installations, British Standard 7671 (as amended) - Requirements for Electrical Installations.

Where, as will often be the case, the installation incorporates a residual current device (RCD), there should be a notice at or near the consumer unit stating that the device should be tested at quarterly intervals. For safety reasons, it is important that this test is carried out regularly.

Also for safety reasons, the electrical installation will need to be re-inspected and tested at appropriate intervals by a competent person. The recommended time interval to the next inspection is stated on page 2 in Section J (Next Inspection), which is conditional upon remedial work being carried out for all the items (in Section H) which attracted a Recommendation Code 1 (requires urgent attention) and Code 2 (requires improvement) are remedied without delay and as soon as possible respectively. NICEI * recommends that you engage the services of an Approved Contractor for this purpose. There should also be a notice at or near the consumer unit indicating when the inspection of the installation is next due.

It is the responsibility of the competent person connecting the electrical supply to the unit to carry out tests to ensure the values of earth fault loop impedance, maximum prospective fault current at the origin, polarity and RCD tests conform to the requirements of BS 7671.

This report consists of at least three numbered pages. The report is invalid if any of the pages are missing. The report has a printed seven-digit serial number which is traceable to the Approved Contractor to which it was supplied by NICEIC.

This report is intended to be issued only for the purpose of reporting on the condition of an existing electrical installation. The report should identify, so far as is reasonably practicable, and having regard to the extent and limitations recorded in Section E, any damage, deterioration, defects, dangerous conditions and any non-compliances with the requirements of the national standard for the safety of the electrical installation which may give rise to danger. It should be noted that the greater the limitations applying to a report, the less its value.

This report should not have been issued to certify that a new installation, or an alteration or addition to an existing installation complies with the national safety standard. A Transportable Building Electrical Installation CertiÞcate should have been issued for such work.

You should have received the report marked ÔOriginalÕ and the NICEIC Approved Contractor should have retained the report marked ÔDuplicateÕ.

If you were the person ordering the work, but not the owner of the transportable building, you should pass this report, or a full copy of it including these notes, immediately to that person.

The ‘Original’ report should be kept in a safe place and shown to any person inspecting or undertaking work on the electrical installation in the future.

Section E addresses the extent of the installation inspected and tested and the agreed limitations, if any, on the inspection and testing. Information given here should fully identify the scope of the inspection and testing and of the report. The Approved Contractor should have agreed all such aspects with the person ordering the work and other interested parties before the inspection and testing was carried out.

Section H includes, at the top, two small unshaded data-entry boxes, one of which should be completed with a ÔÕ to indicate that Ôthere are no items adversely affecting electrical safetyÔ or Ôthe following observations and recommendations are madeÕ. Where observations and recommendations have been made, these should have been itemised in the column provided and each should be attributed with a Recommendation Code 1, 2, 3 or 4.

See the reverse of page 2 of this report for guidance on the Recommendation Codes.

A declaration of the overall condition of the installation should have been given by the inspector in Section G of the report. The declaration should reßect that given in Section I which summarises the observations and recommendations made in Section H. A list of observations and recommendations for urgent remedial work and corrective action(s) necessary to maintain the installation in safe working order should have been given in Section H, where appropriate.

All applicable boxes on page 3 should have been completed either by the insertion of the relevant details or by having one of the following codes entered, which have the following meanings:

Guidance for Recipients on the Recommendation Codes

Only one Recommendation Code should have been given for each recorded observation.

Recommendation Code 1. Where an observation has been given a Recommendation Code 1 (requires urgent attention), the safety of those using the installation may be at risk.

The person responsible for the maintenance of the installation is advised to take action without delay to remedy the observed deÞciency in the installation, or to take other appropriate action (such as switching off and isolating the affected part(s) of the installation) to remove the potential danger.

NICEIC make available Ôdangerous conditionÕ notiÞcation forms to enable inspectors to record, and then to communicate to the person ordering the report, any dangerous condition discovered.

Recommendation Code 2 (requires improvement) indicates that, whilst the safety of those using the installation may not be at immediate risk, remedial action should be taken as soon as possible to improve the safety of the installation to the level provided by the national standard for the safety of electrical installations, BS 7671. The NICEIC Approved Contractor issuing this report will be able to provide further advice.

Items which have been attributed Recommendation Code 2 should be remedied as soon as possible (see Section H).

Recommendation Code 3. Where an observation has been given a Recommendation ode 3 (requires further investigation), the inspection has revealed an apparent deÞciency which could not, due to the extent or limitations of this inspection, be fully identiÞed. Items which have been attributed Recommendation Code 3 should be investigated as soon as possible (see Section H).

The person responsible for the maintenance of the installation is advised to arrange for the NICEIC Approved Contractor issuing this report (or other competent person) to undertake further examination of the installation to determine the nature and extent of the apparent deÞciency.

Recommendation Code 4. [does not comply with BS 7671 (as amended)] will have been given to observed non-compliance(s) with the current safety standard which do not warrant one

of the other Recommendation Codes. It is not intended to imply that the electrical installation inspected is unsafe, but careful consideration should be given to the beneÞts of improving these aspects of the installation. The NICEIC Approved Contractor issuing this report will be able to provide further advice.

It is important to note that the recommendation given at Section J entitled Next Inspection of this report for the maximum interval until the next inspection, is conditional upon all items which have been given a Recommendation Code 1 and Code 2 being remedied without delay and as soon as possible respectively (see Section I).

It would not be reasonable to indicate a ‘satisfactory’ assessment if any observation in the report had been given a Code 1 or Code 2 recommendation (see Section I).
