CONDITION rEpOrT

guIDANCE fOr rECIpIENTS

(to be appended to the report)

This report is an important and valuable document which should be retained for future reference.

1 The purpose of this Condition Report is to conrm, so far as reasonably practicable, whether or not the electrical

installation is in a satisfactory condition for continued service (see Section E). The Report should identify any damage,

deterioration, defects and/or conditions which may give rise to danger (see Section M).

2 The person ordering the Report should have received the original Report and the inspector should have retained a

duplicate.

3 The original Report should be retained in a safe place and be made available to any person inspecting or undertaking

work on the electrical installation in the future. If the property is vacated, this Report will provide the new owner/occupier

with details of the condition of the electrical installation at the time the Report was issued.

4 Where the installation incorporates residual current devices (RCDs) there should be a notice at or near the devices

stating that they should be tested regularly. for safety reasons it is important that these instructions are followed.

5 Section D (Extent and Limitations) should identify fully the extent of the installation covered by this Report and any

limitations on the inspection and testing. The inspector should have agreed these aspects with the person ordering the

Report and with other interested parties (licensing authority, insurance company, mortgage provider and the like) before

the inspection was carried out.

6 Some operational limitations such as inability to gain access to parts of the installation or an item of equipment may have

been encountered during the inspection. The inspector should have noted these in Section D.

7 For items classied in Section K as C1 (‘Danger present’),

the safety of those using the installation is at risk, and it

is recommended that a competent person undertakes the necessary remedial work immediately.

8 For items classied in Section K as C2 (‘Potentially dangerous’),

the safety of those using the installation may be at

risk, and it is recommended that a competent person undertakes the necessary remedial work as a matter of urgency.

9 Where it has been stated in Section K that an observation requires further investigation, the inspection has revealed

an apparent deciency which could not, due to the extent or limitations of this inspection, be fully identied. Such

observations should be investigated as soon as possible. A further examination of the installation will be necessary, to

determine the nature and extent of the apparent deciency (see Section F).

10 For safety reasons, the electrical installation should be re-inspected at appropriate intervals by a competent person. The

recommended date by which the next inspection is due is stated in Section F of the Report under ‘Recommendations’

and on a label near to the consumer unit / distribution board.

CONDITION rEpOrT

guIDANCE fOr ThE INSpECTOr

This report is an important and valuable document which should be retained for future reference.

1 Section 1. Where inadequacies in the distributor’s equipment are present, the inspector should advise the person

ordering the work to inform the appropriate authority.

2 Older installations designed prior to BS 7671:2008 are unlikely to have been provided with RCDs for additional protection.

The absence of such protection should, as a minimum, be given a code C3 classication (item 5.12).

3 This schedule is not exhaustive.

4 Numbers in brackets are Regulation references to specied requirements.
