Electrical Installation Inspection and Testing to the Wiring Code

Maintaining safe electrical installations in African plants and buildings depends on competent inspection and testing against the wiring code. This programme builds the practical skills to inspect fixed installations, carry out the required electrical tests and interpret the results. Participants learn to identify defects, apply the correct test sequence and produce clear records that support safe and compliant operation.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe the requirements of the wiring code relevant to fixed electrical installations.
  • Carry out visual inspection of installations to identify defects and hazards.
  • Perform continuity, insulation resistance, earth and polarity tests in the correct sequence.
  • Interpret test results and compare them against acceptable limits.
  • Diagnose common installation defects and recommend corrective work.
  • Complete inspection and test records that support safe operation.
