During the Basic Electrical Safety and Visual Inspection (BeSAVI) why does Inspect-n-Check measure the earth loop impedance from every accessible socket and not just once for the property?

Connections within socket outlets can become worn due to excessive use or age. To ensure that all accessible sockets can provide sufficient protection to the user in the event of equipment failure then all accessible sockets are tested. This even means that for a double socket both sockets are tested. Obviously, this does take longer but it does confirm that all accessible electrical sockets provide a sufficient earth connection for safety purposes.
