Hi derren,

Thanks for the clarification. Now I need to work on a strategy to get the building occupants to do the six-monthly trip test with the sparky coming in every two years. I'm heading for a world of pain:arghh:

I take it there is no requirement by law to thermo scan boards?

Hi Colin,

It is a commercial office. I have a discrepency in PPM schedules with some saying six monthly and others saying annually. Just want to see if there is any guidance for required testing. Otherwise I'll request we do annually.

Hi,

Can an electrican help me with an enquiry concerning RCDs in commercial buildings?

I’m specifically looking for legislation or Australian Standards which states the frequency of testing requirements at the distribution board.

I have been told that AS 3745 covers this but believe that this is for portable equipment.

Australian and New Zealand wiring rules (AS3000) do not specify the frequency of testing.

Thanks,
