This is a survey of the electrical installation the results of which are recorded on a standard report. The surveyor visually inspects the fuse board and various circuits and tests using specialist calibrated test equipment. The survey is a standard report and is carried out in accordance with British Standard requirement BS7671.

A sample of visual inspections are made behind sockets and switches and various test readings taken.
