EIC’s in new builds

[TH2205]

Hi guys ,

So i’ve been offered some work by a local reputable builder on a site of new builds local to me , some of which involves carrying out EIC’s once completed . My query is that am I ok to complete the certs even on properties I haven’t worked in ? I can see the install at all stages including after first fix to check cable runs etc . I have been advised that three part forms are the way to go as I can get the design and install parts countersigned by the lads doing the work . I’m registered with Stroma and only ever certify my own stuff , it’s not something I’ve been asked before and want to make sure I’m going down the right channels that’s all . Any input or advise on this would be greatly appreciated ,
thanks

... I assume that you will be doing the notification to LABC through your CPS scheme?

For a new build that wouldn't be neccessary - it would normally come under building control for the whole of the build (they'll look into all the other building regs, not just the lecky ones). But typically they'll want an EIC, that way they don't need to employ any electrical knowledge on their own behalf.
