Hi

many thanks

I would have thought that it's self explanatory.

EIC = Electrical Installation Certificate
for a New Installations .. Addition to an existing installation or alteration to an existing installation

Im not sure what you call Part 6 is .. and are you looking at the Schedule of Tests Results Page.

Bit like this

 

[gutterball]

part 6 is the bit about SELV etc

Thanks Gutterball

This is the hand out that my tutor gave me..sorry i cant edit it.. CHROME is being a FOUR X and i cant work my GIMP!

I could well be wrong with this Gutterball so more replies would be good. I would read part 6 of the schedule of Inspections as being other types of protection against Electric shock, therefore if you have ADS as in domestic situations then part 6 is not applicable to you.

However... they specifically mention shaver socket which is confusing!

I must say I like the fact they have now added the regulations next to each point in the schedule of Inspections (for new installations).

That would have been EXTREMELY useful a few months ago so I have given you a thankyou anyway Duane, but unfortunately for the last few weeks we have a different 'schedule of Inspections (for new Installations) to complete (see page 5)

i was told they were going to change it to be like that .. oh well but thanks for the Link for AMD3 Forms

do we have to move over to this form now, i just filled in a old one for a test i am spose to do for NICEIC

The bit that gets me is where says location what do you put in there.

if there are any of part 6 in the circuit, it will impact on your testing of said circuit. i've read it as your acknowledging that these things are present, and you've tested accordingly.

The bit that gets me is where says location what do you put in there.

Where it's installed mate,
ie tick = it's been tested, location = bathroom or wherever.
IS that what you mean ?

Duane! Youve now gone off on a tangent! That is Part 6 on a schedule form for an EICR not an EIC (see page 5 of the link I sent you).

As said before, I read Item No. 6 of the schedule of Inspections (for new installations) as relating to your main form of basic and fault protection which is ADS, therefore this section is generally N/A in a domestic setting. It's a pity Mr D.Skelton isn't still writing as I think this is something he could have shed some light on.

:cry_smile: oh read the doc and find what you needs.. its in there SOME WERE!
