R2 testing necessary for an eicr certificate.

[Abu]

Is it necessary to do the r2 test if you have done r1+ r2 test for an eicr certificate

 

[Pete999]

So are you going for the DI assessment or is it the company you're working for?

I may be wrong, but I think what the OP is saying is, the company he works for did the install, but he the, only did the actual wiring OP

Abu,in all honesty.I think you did all the work,you are going for DI assessment and you were unaware how poor your installation standard is when assessed by genuinely skilled tradesmen,they have been reading a thread full of deceit and some would say lies

Having said that,do not be pessimistic about the upcoming assessment,I believe the schemes themselves are as unprepared as yourself in recognising poor levels of skillset
You will more than likely be happily accepted into the fold

Yes after all it's all about money,profit etc skillsets don't count, like someone else mentioned, if you have the dosh you're in regardless.

I think he's avoiding this thread now TBH.

Reckon he's DONE a runner

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

Reckon he's DONE a runner

Hes not done a runner ,having listened to our opinions hes gone on a 5 week course to become an electrician so he can pass the domestic installer assessment.

I do find it rather sad, that someone could stand back and look at that, and not see anything wrong with their work, especially someone as young as the OP, who someone said was 20. Can't tell now, as it appears the OP has resigned or left the forum.

From my experience no one starts out as a bad workman. Just like those who are taught to produce good quality work, some are taught to produce bad quality work. Lets hope the OP can get some of the former taught to him, before he gets much older.

 

[Strima]

So, how did the assessment go? @Abu

 

[gazdkw82]

I f****n give up if it's a pass

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

If @abu passes then god help this industry.... i see hes downgraded his account and gone AWOL. one hopes to train properly but maybe he electrocuted himself?

 

[Octopus]

TBH I gave lost the plot about what he's actually done, and what is being inspected and by whom ....

 

[Pete999]

Don't think he knows either way

 

[Midwest]

Give the lad a chance, perhaps he might reflect on things. Given the opportunity to work with you guys, things might have been different.

 

[stevels4]

I still can't understand how the supply was isolated unless some very brave idiot decided to open a possibly unearthed metal clad cut out with a more than likely asbestos ridden fuse carrier inside it.

 

[mcgrouther]

Am I missing something here?

Makes you feel sorry for the assessor and my trade

You saying that Midwest I had a go at my mate the other day only had white PVC conduit lids on site so he put them on white boxes but thought it was ok to put on the galv boxes bearing in mind this is for the county council and we have the Clerk of works and electrical consultants around at intervals ok it's above a ceiling but these small things stick out and although complies etc. and not commented on sets the tone. Am I being to picky. By the way we were getting galv box lids the next day

 

[telectrix]

I think you were a bit picky Ant, especially as you and you Mate were intending to change the lids for the correct ones the following day, I personally, would applaud your Mate for fitting the box lids that were available as a temporary measure.

It's only at wiring stage.

 

[Pete999]

So why were you having a dig at him?

As his attitude was " a blind man would be happy to see that " Yes I know it's a minor thing but there is a spec and also it sets a tone of not having any pride in your work a galv conduit box galv lid white pvc conduit box white lid and it sets a tone to those who are inspecting your work and that's one of the reasons we don't have any snag lists at end of jobs.

As you were intending to swap the lids the next day, it does seem a little trite to have ago at him Ant in all honesty, by the way appreciate what you say about doing it right the first time.

I didn't have a go at him just commented but he thought it was a acceptable standard.

Sorry Ant but you did say "you had a go at my Mate" in your original post

 

[Toneyz]

I know but I didn't get him to stand against the wall to a firing squad. It was the attitude that peeved me off.
