This report is an important part of being a property owner/ operator - it exists to ensure that all electrical installations in the property are in a safe and reliable condition and can be used without danger. Also remember that five-year statutory testing, as well as PAT (portable appliance testing) applies – all of which must be carried out by an accredited/qualified member of staff (or contractor).
