Part P & Testing

[Geoffsd]

There must be a procedure in place for someone else to issue an EIC

How many more times? NO.
You can only issue an EIC for your own work.
If there is a way for you to class this installation as your own work then let us know.

if the original sparks has disappeared, or died, or left the industry, or is just plain refusing to do it. It's not that I'm not accepting it, if that's the rules then that's the rules and I'll do an EICR

Good.

and that will have to suffice until such time that the building is rewired again and a new EIC can be issued properly.

Yes, I suppose.

I just wanted ot know if there is ANY instance where an EIC can be issued by anyone other than the person who did the work. It appears not.

NO. What difference does it make to you?

It makes the difference whether I issue an EIC or not. Ta.

We have told you in a friendly manner you cannot certify someone elses work and issue a EIC as if it was your own work, you can only test it and issue A EICR, a report, not a certifcation, what do you want from us?

I believe that some LABCs will in these sorts of circumstances, arrange for a 3 signature EIC to be issued.
Obviously whoever id inspecting the installation would sign for the I&T, but as for who would sign for design and construction, I do not know.
Perhaps the builder?

I didn't much care for Geoffs condescending attitude. Everyone else has been very helpful. I asked a question and got good answers from 99% of those who responded, for which I am grateful. At the end of the thread I wanted to clarify a point of confusion I had and that too has been answered.
And thanks also to spinlondon for his informative reply.

Well if you got what you wanted from the thread then alls well that ends well then, still disagree though, have a nice day anyhow, all the best.
