Periodic inspection and testing label.

[ianphilip007]

hi there

when you add a circuit to a C.U. where there is no existing label for when it was last inspected/tested, is it permissable to place your own pir sticker on the C.U. without carrying out a EICR. if you write UNKNOWN (last inpection) and ASAP (next inspecton) or is there another way ??.

Label the sticker as applicable to what you have installed only

 

[ianphilip007]

so you would place 1/date of the installed circuit (last inspection)
2/ 10 years from date of install (next inspection)

Not sure I'd bother with a label other than the two colours cables warning sticker.

and the RCD label , of course. along with the no cpc on lights, shared neutral, go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

I think it's changed to 5 years or change of occupancy on domestic. Would have to double check

I agree with murdoch put stickers on in relation to what you have done, i only put test label on when I've fully tested installation, general write on test sheet overdue periodic

Since when?

Since when?

Wether its changed or not, its only a guide, ultimately its down to the inspector what the period of time is. I have put a year before, 5 & 10. Depends.

10 years is the max, 5 years quite usual, and as already said, can be anything you consider appropriate depending on age/use/readings, etc....

Can't see how that is an option given that the label is a Requirement.

Precisely my point!
