Guidance for commercial tenants
Electrical safety
You must assess the risks of your use of electricity at work and take steps to control these risks - from ensuring electrical installations are safe and providing suitable equipment to carrying out preventative maintenance and ensuring safe systems of work.
BS: 7671 (IEE Wiring Regulations, 17th Edition) states that the frequency of inspection and testing electrical installation in commercial premises should be a maximum of 5 years between inspections (SI 1989 No. 365 The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989).
