Hi I have recently purchased a 1970s semi detached house and had a full rewire and new central heating system installed by separate companies. There were a few things I was concerned with and am hoping to check with some qualified electricians before I bring it up with the electrician - I have...
Hi.
Had my stroma assessment a couple weeks ago and all went well except I had forgotten to arrange a health and safety policy, and complaints procedure.
Now when I applied there was no mention of these things and the only guidance I had was from my assessor which was very relaxed about it and...
Hey,
I think I'm right in saying that the fire rating requirements of consumer units laid out in Amend.3 of BS7671 do not apply to commercial installations. Can you confirm?
If so would anyone still mention the absence of this fire rating on a commercial consumer unit during an EICR in the...
Hi
I have a client/friend who is starting a new company and, as part of it, is looking for someone to come on board with electrical and gas compliance/testing knowledge and qualifications. Any experience in health & safety compliance would also be useful, but not essential
He is open to ideas...
Hello people,
Not an electrician, but more of a quality controller. I've got to check for the compliance one those horrible neon screwdrivers for a company but I'm pretty stumped.
Some people say they should conform to EN 61010-031 and some say EN 61423-3. RAPEX has many of these listed with...
Hello,
I hope one of you can help. I am a landlord of a buy to let property. The estate agents are instructed to manage however I'm not quite sure they know what they're talking about in relation to EiRC's.
I've got a condition report (attached) which says unsatisfactory. The estate agents...

My landlady has just installed a 4kWp solar PV system in the house I rent, and I think there are problems with the wiring:

evening all - I have a question for some of the more learned members, I am currently trying to make a landlord understand that her rewirable fuseboard isn't up to date, so I know that in 1991 the 16th was launched meaning it wasn't to regs but I was wondering if there was any requirements in the...
Hello all,
I am thinking of adding battery storage to my existing setup to increase self-consumption and provide backup for power cuts. Currently I have 16 x 230W panels feeding 2 + 2 kW StecaGrid inverters installed in 2011.
If I were to add for example a Victron MultiPlus 48/3000/35-50 in...
Been reading up for my 2394/5 exams next week. Learnt some interesting stuff over the last few days. Thought I'd pose a simple quiz, as this was something that I misunderstood, and I'd be interested to find out if others do too (or if it was just me!) :) Just for fun, trainees and mentors can...
My old boss used to issue these certs on domestic jobs along side either an EIC or MWC.
But where the hell do you get the certs or software copies from? I've tried Google but not having any joy!
Does anyone know the smallest inverter on the market with G59?
Ideally we are looking for one around the 1kw mark for a rather complicated upcoming job.
quick question for the sparks out there , i am contemplating sending a c.v to these people to work on there testing side and i was wondering, do they pay well and do they expect a daft amount of circuits to be tested a day ie money over doing a proper job

I saw GE Halogen lamps in use on a social housing block being refurbed - whilst they are still allowed to be sold, i don't think you can say it complies with Building Regulations as they are C rated and so hardly energy saving - 1200 lumen for 70 W is pretty poor.( <18 l/w energy efficient is...
Greetings,
How should I identify a SELV transformer as being compliant (with section 414 of the bgb) when it's not printed on the transformer or in its literature? Sales people promise the earth but are unable to provide any solid evidence.
Is there a web site holding relevant information?
My...
Guys just heard that there is 90% NON compliance with wiring regs!!!! Firstly its not hard to go by the book so why dont they, secondly do insurers ever pay out on house fires?! No wonder we treated the same as hod carriers!
Hi There
Was looking for some help with conducting an internal audit that will satisfy mcs.
