Completion certificate

[Carlosfandango]

A customer I've been doing work for since I went self employed is in the process of selling their restaurant and they're needing retrospective planning permission for some dividing walls they had built to split up the restaurant/bar. They need an electrical certificate for extra emergency lights and extra sockets installed. What cert would I need to issue? The work was done before I was on the scene.

An Eicr

 

[Carlosfandango]

Can I just test the affected circuits?

 

[Kate]

Can test as much or as little. There will be a section on front that you fill in titled something along the lines of: extent of installation covered by this certificate

The only thing you can do is issue an EICR unless you are a fool.

 

[Kate]

Noone here would advise putting your company name on work not conducted by yourself as you become liable for it

 

[Carlosfandango]

Sweet. I maybe worded the question wrong, I knew it would be a condition report but wasn't sure on the extent of how much I needed to test!

 

[Kate]

glad I could help

 

[telectrix]

you have a chioce. either a condition report on the whole installation, or just for the works specified in your OP. but be sure to note it on the cert. the extent of the works covered by your report.

[Carlosfandango]

As the report is for a retrospective planning application, then surely the extent of the report needs to be agreed with the customer and the building control officer ?
