Kingeri I agree as has been said start assuming all tests will be done on all circuits,

however....sometimes this isn't possible. Especially in a commercial situation, as i am sure you are aware! Sometimes the agreement is just live tests as powering down just isn't possible. Like in a 24/7 truck company office for example.

All down to whats agreed and you are being paid to do.
 
I agree with kingeri , if you carry out all the tests as required you can sleep at night , miss them and something goes wrong , prime example young mother electrocuted in her airing cupboard, the electrical company failed to carry out the required testing , and have now been charged with unlawful killing think that answers the question
 
On a new build, ALL relevant testing of the installation should be conducted. On existing installations some of the dead testing can be omitted where it is unreasonable to power down. It is then totally down to the person conducting the inspection and testing of the installation what limitations he is prepared to forego. All such limitations normally being agreed, before any IT work being started...
