Well that wasnt so bad really, just wanted to say thankyou really for everyone that has helped me and answered all my questions :)

Basically this what happened for anyone who has there's soon:


  1. Checked paper work in order: Part p doc, HSE guidance, test equipment accuracy docs, complaints log, Health and safety policy, public liability insurance, regs book and OSG.
  2. Building Regulations: went through each one of them that is relevant to our trade, asked me questions about smokes, checking that I Knew to interlink them.... about using fire rated down lights.... fans in bathroom, low energy lighting ....
  3. Checked test certs : asking what readings acceptable Ze, RCD times, how you calculate R1+R2,min allowed for IR.
  4. Bonding: Visually checked gas and water bonds.
  5. Testing: Carried all test required: Ze, Ring continuity, R1+R2, IR, RCD's, Zs, PFC.... using my voltage test lamp and lock off kit for safe isolation.
Couple of things which he picked me up on:


  1. Schedule of test inspections... for some reason I had ticked the box: 'cables incorparating earthed armour or run as in an earthed wiring system etc....' should have put N/A
  2. Supply characteristics: for ZE in box under nominal voltage I put my measured ze, but it should be 0.35 for tncs, 0.8 tns etc and put measured just below where it says 'measured ze'

Thats it really all done within 2 hours:)
