Hi ereryone in advance.
I've been called to a shop in a petrol station on Saturday, it is a job referral from a trades friend, he told me that the council had had the electrical supply cut off, due to no certification and that the power was running on a generator at the moment, as the petrol...
I'm getting mixed reviews on what you need to do in regards to certification. I am a recently qualified electrician and have no part P, Napit, NIC etc but the firm I work for does so at the moment I have no real need to. But when it comes to my private jobs is it vital that all work no matter...
Hi, I have always made sure my installs have no departures from bs7671 but I'm doing a ccu change next week and have done some preliminary testing and the heating circuit (boiler and heating controls) has low IR readings, had a look in all obvious places and cant find any problems, had trouble...
Hi all, my first proper post,
I am a ex military spark, looking to get back into it after a couple of years in the CIED world. I have 2360 Pt1 & Pt2, and 236 Course C, 2391 and 2381 (16th), obviously I need to update to 17th edition. Whilst looking for courses I found this course for a shade...
Evening all, new to the forum,

Hi everybody, am hoping some of you reading this could provide a bit of guidance on my situation below:
I employed a reputable registered local electrical installation company to install a complete rewire, incl CU in a house I was renovating. This was back in March 2009.
Now I should have been...
If I were to undertake a job that involved say changing a CU what sort of costs would be entailed (other than my labour and parts) ?
There is the Local Authority Notification that seems to be fixed £58.75 < £1000, etc.
What about the Certificates?
If the distributor does not have a switch do...
Ex maintenance electrician (made redundant) with little installation experience but with 17th edition and 2391, and unlikely to do much work anyhow due to dodgy knees but interested to know what certification/notification/etc is required in Scotland for smaller jobs like say : extra sockets...
Wonder if anyone can help me just for my personal clarifcation.
i am qualified electrican with c&g 2330, 2357, 2391, 2382, 2377 etc
picked up a job for emergency lighting, just to install 3 x non maintained self contained spotlight fittings.
the wiring configuration is not the problem etc...
For example you have a ryefield board with 3 phase incoming cable split into 5 fuses for each meter. 3 meters are 3 flats, 1 for communal area and 1 a small shop unit. Now does ryfield board counts as a shared supply between all of them and therefore should be 5 notifications of each property...
Hi I am looking for a book or dvd for advice on testing and certification.
I am fine doing all the testing but I am useless at form filling and always forget things on my certificates.
Is there anything I can get ?
In a block of flats we have a number of Eterna non-maintained emergency lights. A resident competent person does the monthly functional check and also the 6-monthly one hour duration test.
The annual test and certification has in the past been done by a suitably qualified electrician. Now a...

"Hello All",
I am slightly surprised that there were not some very angry comments on the thread about `Part F Certification`.
I have written some comments on there about what I perceive to be the situation in order to try and help the original poster - Shaun gold with the situation regarding...
we have been asked to provide part f certification for the mechanical fans we have fitted in a new build that has recently finished.
is it down to the sparks and where would i get these certificates from.
thanks.
Hi Guys
House rewire - family is living there.
The owner has been let down by plasterers and obviously requires power and light and so at customers request I have installed all the socket tops and light switches but screwing back to the steel back boxes rather than the plasterboard which should...
Hi All
I have a question regarding correct certification
I carried out some work which included a CCU change , New shed supply and final circuits , another new circuit and some replacement acessories so issued a EIC for additions and alterations to an existing
I have then had to go back and...
Do I need to provide a minor works certificate, or any other certificate/test results, if I replace a faulty light fitting which is connected directly to the circuit wiring?
Also, will any tests be required if I change a light which is connected via a 'rock rose' and if I replace a faulty...
