[QUOTE="Manator, post: 443255, member: 9561"] There have been some good answers previously I would not like to detract from those, other than to say, as the designer it is whatever period you specify. It is not in any book, and as you are the designer who has a vested interest in the integrity of your design it is up to you and you alone. Guides are written for dummies, for those who do not design but install, have no interest in the derations, and quite frankly could not care less. However your tutor would more than likely fall into this category, having read the guides and not designed or been responsible for design. I for instance would never give any domestic a 10 year clean bill of health, at most I will give 5 years. For industrial I would want a test every year, with visual inspections at 6 monthly periods between. NHS hospitals every month for visuals, and every 6 months for insulation measurements and earthing tests. Some EICR's I have issued have been for 24 hrs. I did not find that period in any book, but it was the maximum I was prepared to issue. [/QUOTE]
