Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (edition 4).
Note: The above are suggested initial periods. If during inspection and testing
items are always passing, then it is acceptable to reduce the frequency of testing.
Conversely, if many items are found to fail, then it is important to test more
frequently till any particular problems are identified and corrected.
