Board changes, customers and EIC's

[dtec dave]

Evening..I just wanted a bit of advice on the procedure to follow with regards to consumer unit changes, advice to customers and how to fill in an EIC. I have recently changed a consumer unit and I informed the customer beforehand that there may be faults on the system when the cables are checked. Low and behold when I checked the insulation resistance there was a cable down on a circuit. I have told the customer about it and told them I can investigate further, they then told me that they couldn't afford me doing remedial work and they would sort it out at a later date. How do I then fill out the EIC knowing there is a fault on the installation?

Agreed - I have found borrowed Ns often enough to justify time spent on precheck (whether n-n or clamp method, still only 3 mins)

As mentioned one needs to see through "muppet" type digs, and take it in the correct way as in not personally.

i for example am a prize muppet of the highest order. I am a muppet. And a plonker sometimes. Even electrically.

I am a Muppet. A muppet.

Spartykus has spoken.

At this point we all stand up and declare 'I'm a muppet'

Completely agree with Murdoch.
Best you phone ELECSA if your fed up with the advice you have got.
They're very helpful, don't know why you didn't do that in the first place.

YOU'RE


See the apostrophe replaces the lost 'a' in the contraction of 'you' and 'are'.

Thanks.

[VoltzElectrical]

you make yourself appear incompetant by asking stuff in here that if you were competant you would know what you were looking for upon initial survey, the pre-tests to carry out, and the paperwork required upon completion....

in fact...i have just read this one a few days after it was first posted....

constructive criticism....lol...you should thank god i didn`t get here first....

go away and get competant....before carrying out any more board changes....or touting for such works from unsuspecting customers...

Glenn,
What is wrong with trying to educate people, surely this is what these forums are about?

Also, I am not sure which one can be given adequate CPR such that it can be revived, probably neither TBH.

I am no longer a spark as I just change light bulbs for a living., so now resort to correcting grammar on forums.
