Electrical Testing & Commissioning Checklist (PDF)
Free download · A4 (210 × 297mm) — 2 pages
Electrical testing and commissioning is required for every new installation, modification, and periodic inspection. This checklist covers the complete test sequence: visual inspection, earth continuity (R1+R2), insulation resistance (IR) at 500V DC, polarity verification, earth fault loop impedance (Zs), prospective fault current (PSCC), RCD trip time and trip current, phase sequence, and voltage measurements. Each test has fields for expected value, measured value, instrument serial number, and pass/fail status. Formatted for BS 7671 Part 6, AS/NZS 3017, and IEC 60364-6 test requirements. Includes a certificate of compliance section with engineer sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tests are required for electrical commissioning?
At minimum: earth continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation, and prospective fault current. BS 7671 Regulation 643 and AS/NZS 3017 define the full test sequence.
Which standard does this checklist follow?
The test sequence follows BS 7671:2018+A2 Part 6, AS/NZS 3017:2022, and IEC 60364-6. Adjust test acceptance criteria for your specific standard and jurisdiction.
What instruments do I need?
A calibrated multifunction installation tester (e.g., Megger MFT or Fluke 1664 FC) covers all tests. You will also need a proving unit and GS38 compliant test leads.
