NEN 1010 is the standard for low-voltage installations. At handover it requires a final inspection consisting of a visual inspection and a series of measurements. Below is a practical checklist to make sure you forget nothing.

Visual inspection

  • Have the right protective devices been applied and correctly selected?
  • Is the installation soundly built and in line with manufacturer instructions?
  • Are connection points, cables and distribution boards correctly marked?
  • Is documentation such as schematics and distribution board schedules present?

Measurements

  • Continuity of protective conductors.
  • Insulation resistance of the installation.
  • Operation of the residual-current protection.
  • Voltage drop and short-circuit current where applicable.

A measurement without a record is a measurement you get to redo later.
