Hi guys under what circumstance would a ring circuit continuity test NOT be required during an inspection and test ?
 
Surely you would test RFC continuity under a EICR? Or are you suggesting there may be particular circumstances under which a LIM could be applied instead of doing these particular tests? If so, then how about a couple of examples?
 
During periodic inspection and testing where there are records of ring final circuit continuity tests and where there is no evidence of any alterations to the ring final circuit then it is not necessary.
 
but for how long it takes, i would check it. who's to know if the client hasn't added a socket outlet and broken the ring.

Safety circuit in an hospital could be one
IT circuit in a Tier 4 Data Centre could be another.
