commercial kitchen testing

[Dave0098]

just done an inspection and testing certificate for a commercial kitchen i have installed.

install included new consumer unit, new ring main, new boiler circuit, 2 x cooker circuits. the orginal installation has 3 radials and a lighting circuit.

i have tested all the new circuits which i have installed as prescribed in the regs. now with the original circuits i have only tested the insulation resistance of the circuits, they all checked out good, and i tested them to make sure they would trip the RCD, is this enough or do i have to test them as i have the others.

the reason i have only tested the original circuits this way is because im sure i have read that this would be acceptable, not 100% sure so thought i would ask.

ive not handed the cert in yet just so i could double check this.

cheers Dave

Really if you are installing them into your new dis board you have installed you should check as if new (unfortunately) IR, R1/R2, Zs and end to end for ring main, the full monty

Agree, should do the full tests (if only to cover yourself).
