    New CU - how many empty ways for future

    If there are 6 or 7 circuits I would go for a 10 way board. Can't find anything on the "Big Green Book" about this but in my opinion 2 empty ones would suffice. But I would ask the landlord if he has any future plan for additional circuits. Cheers!

    Do Check Boxes need to be calibrated.

    I use a check box along with dedicated socket on a ring to keep an eye on any deviation on IR, Continuity, ZS and RCD timings. I also get it calibrated once a year. My NICEIC assessor didn’t even ask for a recent calibration certificate but was keen on looking at the recorded readings...

    Periodic question.

    NICEIC states that Periodic inspection reporting is not included within the scope of the NICEIC Domestic Installer Scheme. It's bit confusing that a Domestic Installer can install, certify and notify his own work but can't inspect & report an existing installation. Weird statement!
