Posted By Paul Leadbetter Alan The legislation does not specify the frequency of testing; there is some guidance available from HSE but more available in guidance note 3 to BS 7671. Paul

Posted By MT Paul is correct in that the testing intervals are not laid down in legislation. See HSE guidance: http://www.hse.gov.uk/electricity/faq.htm#a8
