Question re 3rd party certification

[Sch123]

An apprentice ran my cabling and fitted socket covers works signed off by a third party certification - any issues with this?

An apprentice can be left to undertake certain tasks, but ultimately their work should be checked before the job is 'signed off'

Does the apprentice work for the same company / business that have signed off the work?
At anytime was anyone from that company / business at the address where the work was done, either before the apprentice did the work, during or after?

Yes indeed apprentice is level 2 - 3rd party cert was due to be issued but certification man has had a breakdown (his wife let him ) so everything is up in the air with client - I have suggested a different contractor come to issue the cert because this issue will be dealt with and resolved much more quickly but client is refusing access thus far and thinks that someone is trying to do something underhand which clearly isn't the case imo if it was my house and the man who was issuing the pass cert who has been totally unreliable and has gone on the missing list I wouldn't have faith in him.

No apprentice does not work for man signing off - someone there before during and after

For third party certification your supposed to be present at each stage of the job, i have done it before, but have continually monitored and instructed on the job from start to end. There is no way a third party should sign off an apprentice from another companies work on the basis of "trust me bro"

yes

Ohh, theres no issue then, he must have been happy with his workmanship and competence to sign it

Exactly !

Exactly !

Customer just needs to give them a nudge for the EIC then, not go elsewhere. But i would withold payment perhaps until i had the cert

Just to update the thread based on the pm i received from op, seems apprentice was watched by the guy from same company and was then going to sign off, but he is no longer available so they want another electrician to sign it off, that hasnt been involved thus far, as far as i can make out! So id say that shouldnt happen as he gasnt been present? They need to wait for original team to certify imo
