Testing and inspection — Electrician
A property owner may need an electrical condition assessment, a report requested by another party or investigation before changes. State the purpose and installation scope so the electrician can confirm the right inspection and explain its limitations.
Service scope
Electrical testing and inspection assesses a defined electrical installation or part of it and records findings within an agreed scope. Inspection is a diagnostic deliverable, not automatic repair, an unlimited guarantee or a substitute for a correctly specified report.
What is normally included
- Inspection of agreed installation areas
- Appropriate testing by a competent person
- A documented findings and limitations report
What is not included
- Repairs automatically included in an inspection price
- A guarantee that concealed or excluded areas were fully assessed
Typical tasks
- Agree the purpose and inspection extent
- Review available circuit records
- Inspect accessible installation components
- Carry out appropriate electrical tests
- Issue findings with limitations and recommended next steps
What to include in your brief
- Purpose of the requested report
- Property and installation type
- Circuit records where available
- Access restrictions
- Any previous findings or electrical concerns
Choosing the right professional
Ask what is inspected, which areas require access or shutdown and what report you will receive. Confirm whether remedial work is quoted separately; an inspection should not be sold as a guaranteed pass.
Important considerations
- Restricted access can limit what can be assessed
- An inspection may identify urgent defects requiring separate action
