TM44 renewal / Inspection evidence

Know the last inspection date. Plan the next one properly.

Use the inspection date on your accredited report to estimate the five-year milestone in England and Wales. This is a planning aid, not a live government register lookup, a certificate validity test or a legal determination for your building.

  • Quotation agreed before any visit
  • Accredited energy assessors
  • Report lodged on the register
THE TWO FACTS THAT MATTER

The inspection date.
The right building.

For qualifying England and Wales systems, accredited inspection intervals must not exceed five years. A planner is useful only when the previous report really describes the installed cooling plant and correct responsible operator.

01 / INDICATIVE DATE PLANNER

Calculate from your existing report.

Choose the building jurisdiction and enter the date of the last accredited air-conditioning inspection. Calculations happen in your browser; nothing is sent to TM44.uk or stored in a customer record.

Use the date in the assessor's report, not the date of a service invoice, installation or informal visit.

AWAITING REPORT DATE

Your milestone will appear here.

Choose a valid, completed inspection date for a building in England or Wales. No calendar reminders, emails or certificate results are generated by this preview.

02 / BEFORE RELYING ON THE DATE

Three checks prevent a false sense of compliance.

01

Use the actual accredited inspection date

A maintenance visit, plant commissioning invoice or an EPC survey is not automatically a statutory air-conditioning inspection. Find the date printed on the complete TM44 report.

02

Match the report to the installed cooling

Check the correct address, equipment and relevant controller. Major alterations or a transferred system may need additional technical review; a historical date alone cannot certify today's plant.

03

Plan before the five-year limit

The date below is an indicative outer planning milestone for a qualifying England and Wales system. Set an internal booking target ahead of it, allowing for access and assessor availability.

When the five-year calculation is not the full answer

A newly installed qualifying system has first-inspection rules connected to when it was first put into service. A change of technical control can create particular report handover duties. Scotland and Northern Ireland must be checked under their own frameworks rather than this England and Wales planner.

If the previous report is missing, the equipment has been replaced, the relevant controller is unknown or the premises include several independently controlled installations, record the status as UNKNOWN until the appropriate evidence is checked. Do not treat the calculated date as an automatic compliance certificate.

Official legal and inspection references

For qualifying England and Wales systems, regulation 18 specifies the recurring inspection interval and the appropriate accreditation requirement. The government guidance explains who must arrange and retain reports and how inspection evidence should be checked.

03 / DISCUSS A REAL RENEWAL

Have the last report? Start with that.

Send the property address, previous inspection report and any known cooling-plant changes. A suitable assessor, scope, site access and reporting times must be confirmed before booking. The planner does not send an enquiry. Use the enquiry page or call the office to discuss a renewal.
