NICEIC Certification Scheme Points served on an niceic certificate

It is part of the information required by 514.9

But strangely absent from the model form on page 434

Yes. I think the info in 514.9 is intended to be included in handover packs or permanent records in larger and more complex installations. The reg does say in simple installations in can be in the form of a schedule, a copy of which must be appended to the DB.

A point is where an accessory is connected. so it doesn't mater if single or double it's still only one point. Would you count a 2 gang switch as 2 points?

A switch isn't a point of utilisation.

With no reference to the sample form on page 434

Another senseless contribution from the IET...

Sometimes it is recorded separately from the schedule of test results, sometimes included within. It's been a requirement since at least the 16th that I know of.

One good reason to put the number of points is to ensure if anyone adds anything you have a record to show that.

^^ thats easy on a new install, not so easy on a CU change........

I did a CU change a while back and the property is now being tidied up..... there are quite a few sockets that were concealed...... behind built in cupboards, behind very large units........ its not always possible to count them all!

Perhaps put not veried n/v instead and a note on the eic

What can you do though?
They are very touchy if blank boxes are left on their certs.

N/A

N/A

Easy way out in my opinion just count the points

 

[ThrownRazor25]

On the schedule of test results on niceic cerificate where it says points served.Does a double socket mean 1 point or 2?

 

[ThrownRazor25]

I class it as one.A point by definition in the regs book is an accessory with a comnection that serves current carrying equipment.so i also say its 1 point.

That's because the model form is for test results, whereas the regulation mentioned above is about the circuit chart to be fixed at or near a DB.

About the only use counting the number of points serves, is so if your totals don't add up you know you missed something.
