Points served - FCU's??.

There is no definitive answer to this, only personal preference. Personally I count every time a cable is terminated as a point. Excluding mcb. And if a fcu is feeding fixed equipment, I only count the fcu.

Hope there aren't too many JB's under the floorboards then Thomas

We'll all soon be taking photos of everything we install in order to cover our backsides

I often do when labeling fcu's that may not be obvious to which appliance they isolate. You know the stickers will not remain there for any length of time

On CU changes I always take a picture when done with the cover off and then one with the cover on. You can spot DIY meddling easily this way if you're called back.

Ahh, but when pricing up the job, I bet switches and outlet plates get priced at x ££££ per point!

Got my Elecsa assessment next week, might ask the chap and see what he says.

Its him who told me you don't need it as its not on the example form in regs.

Same goes for the cable type used on the STR sheet

Ironically , i actually think recording the cable type is a good idea and provides information worthy of writing in certs / reports.
And you dont have go rummaging through peoples bedrooms to do it unlike counting points.

Whereas obviously you would have done when testing sockets on the ring, so you'll know where they are and how many!
