This Standard sets out some of the common test methods required to test that a low voltage electrical installation complies with the safety requirements for the prevention of fire or a person from sustaining an electric shock.The tests detailed in this Standard relate to-(a) earth resistance; (b) insulation resistance; (c) polarity; and (d) incorrect circuit connections.The Standard illustrates testing procedures for a complete domestic electrical installation connected to a supply system which provides a multiple earthed neutral (MEN) system of earthing. The methods and equipment-(i) are not exclusive and other equipment and methods may be used;(ii) may be applied to other types of low voltage installations, e.g. non-domestic, commercial;(iii) may be applied to work affecting only part of an installation, e.g. alterations, additions or repairs; and(iv) may be adapted to other supply earthing systems.
