Hi

When we bought our house a few years ago (which the wife said we would never move out of) I added a number of sockets to the upstairs ring final using some lovely surface mounted trunking. I did quite a bit of research at the time to make sure it was safe and tested them all with a plug in tester and also tested continuity of wiring between all sockets with a multimeter. As the extension to the ring is in trunking, the joins are accessible for inspection.

Since I did the the work we had a new kitchen which was wired by a proper electrician and included a new consumer unit which I have a full NCEIC test certificate for which includes tests of the RCD for the upstairs ring.

Now the wife has decided that we are moving house so obviously the buyer will be interested in safety certs for the electrics.

My question is this:
As the spark tested the new consumer unit, does that cover the the sockets that I added?

I have looked online but can't find much like info only that the works I did should be installed and tested in line with bs7671 which I am happy with on the installation side but unsure of the testing side.

Thanks in advance
Ben

Good thinking - the other side of that is my garage and also where the gas comes in so probably quite a tidy solution if it comes to it!
