[QUOTE="binky, post: 477493, member: 490"] Domestic EICR guideline interval is 10 years, ergo if a system passes test it's good for another 10 years . It's also in an NICEIC document somewhere that I read many years ago. 1 Meg is pretty low in my opinion - anything barely passing test at this level I wouldn't give 10 years. Interesting view of global testing - I've always regarded this as short cut to save time and not a true representation of the state of the cabling. Given the amount of hard wired equipment in todays houses such as LED drivers, it hardly ever works anyway, so I very rarely use it. [/QUOTE]
