What Happens at the Inspection

An officer may check the system's wiring, protection devices, earthing and labels, and confirm that the capacity matches the approval. They may ask for test reports and documents. A neat installation with clear labels and complete papers usually passes without fuss. Defects mean a re-inspection, which can add days or weeks.

  • Equipment matches the approved specification.
  • Isolators and protections are present.
  • Earthing is visible and tested.
  • Warning labels are fixed.
  • The single-line diagram is available.
