Frequently asked questions about EL Periodic Inspection

What testing schedule is required?
BS 5266-1 requires: monthly brief functional tests (flick test), annual 1-hour or 3-hour duration tests (depending on rated duration), and 3-yearly full rated duration tests. All results must be recorded in the log book.
Can I use automatic test systems?
Yes. BS 5266-1 recognises automatic test systems (ATS) which can perform scheduled tests without manual intervention. Results must still be reviewed and recorded, and a physical inspection should supplement automatic testing.
