Any body had any experience on non domestic wiring?

There is a member on this forum who is living and working in france and will happily provide you with chapter and verse on what is involved and the differences in regs - I've spoken with him in the past but can't remember his username and my inbox seems to have been culled without my knowing to the last few weeks, so I can't now lookup the old pm's we had. Suggest searching through the members / work thread to find him.

If you would like to PM with some basic details of what you have been asked to do, then I will try to help you.

However you should be aware that to legally work here in France, you need to be registered here, so you have a SIRET No and have both Responcibility Civile (3rd party liab) and Decannal Ins (10 year guarantee ins). The second one as far as I am aware is not available in the UK.

Look forward to hearing from you

Victor

And there was me, believing Al Murray when he said the French didn't have any rules.

10 years insurance! Napit guarantee (and insure) Napit sparks' work for 6 years but I suppose if, after remedial work,we put a 10 year gap down until the next PIR/EICR then some would argue we should be offering this too.

Of course! Thanks Victor - I feel embarrassed now to have forgotten your name, sorry!! :dunce:

Most French electricians I know only test for 230v, if its got that it's ok. I worked with one who thought he could test an earth spike with a multimeter.
