Hello all,
Im wondering what views you guys take on consumer unit changes? Ive been looking into it and am getting slighty confused about the whole board swap & certing process. This has probably cropped up multiple times before...
I have a job coming up which requires one new kitchen ring main, and a board swap. Obvoiusly I need to test all re-connected circuits and issue a cert & notification for the swap. That means myself taking responsibility for all other circuits.
However... The only circuit I am installing, and can 100% guarantee is installed correctly is the ring main.
The other circuits may test out ok, but whos to say cables are run in zones etc? existing ring mains may test out OK, but what if somethings been altered and left undafe? What if there is something hidden away that I could miss?
How can I issue an EIC and cover my own arse from any possible combacks from the existing installation?
Would i be right in saying that in box: 'Extent of installation covered by certificate' is key here? What would you put on the cert?
All work is getting notified to LABC.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
