Hey guys do i need to do a full schedule of tests after installing a supply to garage with additional board.
Or do I only issue test results for the individual circuit i.e Garage.
I realise I would need a 2nd schedule of tests for the 2nd DB.

Also my 2nd DB has no RCD. So I presume I only document RCD when testing main DB on first schedule of results?? And not on 2nd DB in Results??

Hope this sounds clear??
 
As far as the SWA supply is concerned I'd just put the circuit number that it's fed from in the house DB on the schedule of test results. [And obviously make sure the circuit is labelled accordingly]
 
I didnt understand some of what he said regarding used or spare. So I appreciate he may have answered thanks

E.G - the fuseboard you are adding to has 6 existing circuit breakers and 4 spares...

Your EIC will show 6 as "used", 1 with full details as you installed it, and 3 as "spare"

Hope this makes sense

Have you asked your scheme's technical line?
 
why was my post "funny"?

I must admit, I don't get that joke. Your scheme's technical line is there for exactly this sort of thing.
I've been on this forum for a couple of weeks and asked genuine questions. I feel like the majority of people that respond are generally helpful. But don't understand the minority who feel like they have to belittle people. I'm just starting out like everyone in the past and if I ask a question that offends anyone don't respond unless it's positive thanks

I'm lost now, who has belittled you ?
 
Any certificate encompasses only what is written in the "Extent of installation covered by the certificate" section.
Only the work you have done needs to be on the certificate.
As above if the sub-distribution cable is fed from circuit No.8 then you just fill that line in but be exact on what work the certificate relates to.
