Duties under Electricity at Work Regulations

I can appreciate that the Regulations apply to a Registered Social Landlord in their role as an employer. However, do they apply to the landlord's housing stock? Specifically, do the fixed installations in the housing stock have to be tested periodically (say, every 10 years)?
Thanks in anticipation

Being made under the HASAW Act 1974, I take the test as to where the EAW Regs apply as being whether the HASAW Act applies in a particular situation. However, there is other legislation applicable to the provision of electricity and housing which would require installations to be maintained in a safe condition - with IEE, BS and industry standards indicating examination at the recommended intervals.
