Periodic Inspection Report Codes

Recommendation Code 1
Where an observation is given a Recommendation Code 1 (requires urgent attention), the safety of those using the installation may be at risk. The person responsible for the maintenance of the installation is advised to take action without delay to remedy the observed deficiency in the installation, or to take other appropriate action (such as switching off and isolating the affected part(s) of the installation) to remove the potential danger.

Recommendation Code 2
An observation given a Recommendation Code 2 (requires improvement) indicates that, whilst the safety of those using the installation may not be at immediate risk, remedial action should be taken as soon as possible to improve the safety of the installation to the level provided by the national standard for the safety of electrical installations, BS 7671. The contractor issuing the report will be able to provide further advice. Items which have been attributed Recommendation Code 2 should be remedied as soon as possible.

Recommendation Code 3
An observation given a Recommendation Code 3 (requires further investigation), the inspection has revealed an apparent deficiency which could not, due to the extent of limitations of this inspection, be fully identified. Items which have been attributed Recommendation Code 3 should be investigated as soon as possible. The person responsible for the maintenance of the installation is advised to arrange for the contractor issuing the report to undertake further examination of the installation to determine the nature and extent of the apparent deficiency.
