    It's retrospective request, so easy to say no, unless something in regs I can point to, but it does seem to be upto the sparc

    UK Gas Bonding Certification

    If it was me, I would defo fill in a MEIWC, but I'm trying to get another sparc to do one. But I can't find anything black and white on this.

    New gas boiler install. Previously no gas in dwelling, water is plastic. So no bonding presently. No other work, boiler supply to use existing Electric Heater Circuit. What certification should be used, It's not a new circuit, so not EIC. So just Minor Works?

    It's on the back, so IP is not an issue. My use of the word 'grommet' was sloppy, sorry for any confusion. Yes it was a gapping hole in the back Stroma were concerned about. They advised using rockwall or fire foam. I prefer rockwall as it's easy to pull in/out for future maintenance.

    I've no experience with NICEIC, I recall Stroma having two competencies, but for sure, my Napit includes EICR's.

    That would apply to every question on this forum. You mistake the spirit of forums, it's not a place to put others down, to make yourself feel superior. Your comments say more about you. Maybe take a look in the mirror............. Interestingly, those that criticised, did not put forward any...

    I would argue it is a requirement from 17th edition. Guidance Note 4 (17th Edition) - Protection Against Fire advises 3.8.1 Consumer Units & Similar Assemblies in domestic premises 'The Installer must seal all openings into the non-combustible enclosure or cabinet for cables, conduits, trunking...
