if in doubt ask the forum

Hi all

I'm testing a communal board next week and on the board there's a lighting circuit with emergency on the same circuit, now what I want to know is as well as testing and recording results on eicr do I have to issue a emergency lighting certificate as well, reason I'm asking because I spoke to another spark today and he said no you don't have to issue one as wer only testing the wiring but I disagree what's every1 else's opinion

if the landlord asks for a yearly emergency light test certificate then let him have one, if not then no I wouldn't issue one at all, they have asked for a EICR only, you only do the work the customer asks for usually.

nope , em light certs are a completely different entity , test the wiring but not their standby operation for your eicr.

Ok that's good for me and the land just wants a eicr.

Recommend that you mark it down in the limitations. That way there can be no dispute further down the road if a problem crops up with the EM lighting.
