Anyone settle this argument..
Any competent person can inspect and test and issue certs.
Having the 2391 , full apprenticeship and NVQ's.
You don't have to be in the competent schemes.
Thoughts???
I was just thinking how commercial electrical work is not notifiable to building control as it doesn't come under part P, but there's a lot of other building regulations that can come up depending on the extent of the electrical work, we're talking part L and teams from BREEAM turning up. So it...

Hello all,
The Schedule of Inspection forms for an EIC offer you 2 suggestions to enter in the boxes, either a tick to say an inspection has been carried out and the result is satisfactory or N/A to show that an inspection is not applicable to a particular item.
In section 7 (consumer...

Would like to know if anyone out there , tests school properties currently we test ever 3 years but are being told to move to 5 year tests , how often would you carry out routine inspections as outlined in guidance notes 3 it's says 6 months , is that to often or just right .
Sorry this may seem like are really daft question but during initial verification and testing do you issue one schedual of inspections for the whole installation or do you issue one for each circuit ?
I had a landlady phone me up today. She said she had 10+ properties she needed testing, we don't normally touch domestics but cause we have a slow week next week I thought I would throw a price her way. Quoted £20 a circuit so around £100-160 per house. She laughed and said she had been quoted...

Can any one help??

Does anyone know what is happening with the new 3rd party inspection system that is coming in with the changes to Part P.
E.g. how do I find someone that is allowed and insured to do the inspections?
A landlord has given me a copy of a test form from a company called GAS-ELEC, looking over the form I can see virtually no info on the installation, Zs taken from the fuseboard and not Ze, nothing mentioned about no RCD protection on the lighting. Considering there is not much info there are...
Just a quick question, in the general section of this form,
1. presence of under voltage protective devices, there are passive rcds on the cu and no dol starter, I've put n/a for this
2. Connection of single pole devices for protection or switching in line conductors only, all sockets used...
My second post coming up and once again a 'hypothetical' that could become reality shortly...
Install a radial socket circuit in a garage supplied from a spare way in the consumer unit (RCD protected), all tests ok.
1. Presumably this requires a EIC and associated Schedule of Inspections?
2...
Hi All
There has been lots of discussions about the frequency of EICRs for Rental properties but what about the idea of insurance companies insisting on an electrical inspection before providing building insurance? Or even offering a discount if a certificate is in place?.
cheers

We have been MCS accredited for over two years now and nobody has been and audited or checked anything we do. We are with NICEIC and they do yearly checks/ inspections on our electrical work but never on MCS stuff yet. Has anybody has a yearly audit and/ or do they ever take place.
Thanks
Hi
I wanted to see if anyone has any question or answers on the new EICR forms.
I will start with, Does anyone know what "location reference" means in the schedule of inspections?
Whats the stupidest thing a NIc/ NAPIT etc inspector has ever pointed out to you about an install you may have done?
One once told me that all cables should be clipped, even under floorboards. 'OK fine, I'll add 1 k to this 2.2K rewire'.... good grief.
