The initial interval is set by the installation Designer and subsequent intervals are set by the previous Inspector. These are displayed on a warning notice at the origin of the installation.

That sounds like terminology used for installations at commercial premises. I've never seen intervals stated on any domestic installations, even though on my most recent ones I have the official certificates. Nor have I ever had an 'Inspector' round.

noh

Our last house, built in 2002, had an inspection label on the consumer unit with a 10 year interval to the next inspection.
When selling I arranged an inspection at the request of the purchaser and the new label and certificate, issued in 2016 stated reinspection required in 5 years.
Our present house, built in 2010, has an inspection label on the consumer unit stating reinspection required in 2020 ie a 10 year interval.
