Conditional reporting , how in depth do you go to satisfy your recommendation

[Dozer 73]

Been sparking now 25yrs plus
Did testing and inspecting 10 year ago
Do a lot of new installation tests and conditional reports of our own installs once they are up for renewal , so don’t really have to put codes on any thing because it’s all usually pretty much up to current regs
This thread has been created because of my house rewire one last week
I don’t go into installation’s houses , factories etc and do conditional reporting
Where you you start delving deeper into the installation if you have suspicions thing are not right
Insulation resistance , just flood test at dB all line conductors to earth only
Today a thread has mentioned a metal sw with no earth to face plate , would you pick that up and physically unscrew face plate and check
How long would you spend testing a 3 bed house say
Like I say I’m far from an expert on conditional reporting and putting codes to items , just put this out for interesting chat and to pick up a few tips
Thanks in advance guys and girls

if there is a vast quantity of downlights I get my wondering lead out. I ensure every point that should have a cpc, does have a cpc.

although a pain in the arse I usually make more effort to remove awkward lights because these are usually the ones which have connectors taped up and rammed in the ceiling!


I also saw a video by that irritating tubby fella with the dry blond haired tall chap... sorry don't know their names but somebody will know who I mean, tubby fella says you must make a plan if employing sampling so you can show what exactly you have sampled!

Although a drawing or plan can help there is absolutely no regulation saying it’s required (can you imagine if there was)which is just as well as I can’t draw period!

well that's also the conclusion I came to and have never done this, the point they were trying to make in the video was you cant just say ive sampled 30% of accessories for example, because if somebody was prosecuting for say a fire from a fitting how would you prove that wasn't in your 30% sample if you know what I mean

do you know the bring vids I mean?
