I would like to say that for the last 8 years i have not worked in the domestic installation environment and have recently been tasked to sign off a new house extension (for one of the bosses family) and produce a EIC so that it can be signed off by building inspectors.
Back story -
A spark i have never met and hasn't been seen in over a 6months has been and installed new sockets and lighting into the extension that now comprises of a new kitchen and hallway area. Because he has extended the ring into the kitchen he should have installed some RCD protection which he has not done. This works is also notifiable under Part P (i believe). I think that 'we' should change the CU which is also notifiable for PART P to give RCD protection and a safer environment to the home owner in general.
We carried out a PIR and everything was fine bar the new work wasn't protected by RCD and the Gas and Water supplies have the wrong sized bonding conductor to them.
So the installation work was not carried out by me/us, the electrician has disappeared, the entire installation tests out ok bar in my opinion the CU needs changing and the bonding upgrading.
If i was to notify (part p) of a consumer unit change, carry out the works and issue an EIC to the home owner would it be acceptable for buildings inspectors to sign off the new extension although 'we' haven't installed it and don't fully know whether the building authority was notified to begin with.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give. If you need any more info please don't hesitate to ask.
