Called to carry out live tests & certify

[Michael J]

I was called by the client to do final live test & issue EIC. Not so straight forward, not all cable chases have been plastered and a couple of areas where boarding has still to be completed. So annoying, anybody else come across this?

Your job or picking up from someone else ?

Never, and not likely I would certify for someone else if that is what you mean.

 

[Wilko]

I don't certify anything I haven't installed .

The plastering of chases isn't required for issuing an EIC, assuming you have secured the cables in the chases properly?

only problem is that further testing will need tobe carried out after plasterer and boarders have cut/screwed/nailed cables..

That’s what I was thinking, the builder thinks I have OCD

I always walk away from a first fix with insulation and continuity tested. I do it again when I go in for second fix to confirm all is well post builder / plasterer. Not sure what I would say if I went back and it wasn't 'ready' for second fix. @davesparks - I didn't know that - interesting.
