Hi, just a quick question, to anybody using the ICertifi software, has anybody else noticed that the EIC certificates have now changed?
They now give a section on results page for “overcurrent protective device” and a seperate section for RCD this not allowing Rcbos to be recorded??? Also all...
Thanks for reply appreciated 👍This is actually a PIV unit (poss pressure ventilation) I think that’s where the confusion has arisen. Surely SPD should be installed anyway on complete rewire?
Just had word off client it turns out it is actually Envirovent who installed the PIV. So a fairly big organisation me thinks.
To be fair I could just got the RCD as requested but don’t like charging customers for works not required.
Unbelievable isn’t it!! Looks like I’ll h e an awkward phone call tomorrow attempting to educate whoever on the correct terminology and usage of RCDs, can’t wait 🤣🤣.

As you say it’s not a bad thing at all, the main issue I had with BC was that they themselves seems confused about the paperwork (well that’s how it came across anyway) it appears that the...
Had a lovely conversation/argument with building control this morning, the scenario is this,
Completed job (4 flat rewire) EIC’s sent to client as normal, building control notification done via NICEIC portal, all good (you’d hope)
Then received email from client (the architect) to inform me that...
Hi all, as most people will be aware the building regulations on fire protection for loft conversions are pretty strict. The situation I have on a couple of loft conversions is this.
buliding inspector now requires fire doors on all doors leading onto escape route or smoke detection in ALL...
Yes I understand the difference in size of the conductors but if the earth and neutral are combined I.e. connected in the cut out then surely the only difference is the size of the earthing tails conductor which at a length of say max 3m’s should be negligible.
So line to earth (CNE)
Or line to...
