Stroma Certification Scheme Stroma assessment can anyone help

Hi - you can expect to have to demonstrate safe isolation, how you tested the installation and repeat the kitchen RFC tests (say). In the correct order, getting the same results as on your EIC. Prepare and perhaps offer to show it?

I have to say, I was never asked a myriad of questions. Just a few, and if I didn't know the answer, we discussed it. Perhaps he recognised what top tastic electrician I were'd.
Did some simples testing, for RFC e.g. safe isolation etc. Always felt it was like an interview for a job, as opposed to an exam.

Just have all your bits & pieces to hand. I wrote lots of notes in the back of the OSG, to refer to on my first assessment.

Had mine today

Sat down asked to see paper work. Didn't have my h&S policy to hand he said that's fine send it off to them. Showed certificates , insurances, part p document electricity at work act. Haswa 1974.

Asked questions on part p. Asked what other building regs should we conform to.asked why would we upgrade the installation.asked me to look a value up in the book. Checked I'd done maximum demand. Asked about testing inspection and condition reports and the different categories . Looked at past condition reports.

The install is a new CU with a new ring and garage circuit. I explained the job isn't finished and i haven't completed a cert. He said you wont be signed off until you send us that.

Testing . I asked if I needed to show safe isolation he said no as I'm here and just show me your lock off kit. Done a ze and asked what is the max for the system. Continuity on ring. Rcd test taking pictures all the time. For got to null my leads because of nerves. I asked if he wanted to see a zs and he said if you can do a ze you can easily do a zs. And that was that. Well we are all done. Didn't look at the sockets I installed . Just the board

that's personal you should not show them that .next they want to see if you paid you taxes on time .

Sat my Stroma CPS about a week ago. Went through past invoices and CIS payslips to confirm my time in the game. Checked insurances and CV very carefully. Probably about 80 questions (one a minute for an hour or so) Certainly no tea and biscuits walkover as is often implied. Not unpleasant just really thorough. Threads suggest not all are so diligent but I've only been with Stroma so can't really comment.

Oh yea. Prep well and good luck.
