Out of curiosity, do your electrical installations in the US, (Domestic or commercial) have to be tested periodically?
Here in the UK we carry out periodic inspection and testing on existing properties and it's quite involved with a report being given at the end, listing all faults/non compliance's etc and then give an estimate for putting these things right. We can do a visual inspection, but in general, that doesn't carry very much weight here.
In domestic situations, it's not law to have such inspections, but with buildings that are open to members of the public it is (although very few business's comply).
I'm just curious about how things differ across the pond, I hope to visit someday.
