urgent problem !!!

This may sound fairly silly but here goes..

When your inspected what most importantly are they looking for? Safety? Correct regs being followed?

 

[acat]

Safety then safety and after that safety. You are not expected to know the regs but you are expected to know where the answer can be found.

Hope that helps

So they're not particularly there to try and trick you out?

 

[acat]

No they are not city and guilds with sneaky questions. Your assessment is a two way affair and they come out with helpful info for you. Obviously safe isolation procedure, inspection and testing, expected results and what could be wrong if you dont get the reading you expect you need to really know the rest just where to find it.

When I had mine I disagreed with assessor and he accepted my point of not shorting out in CU I use a choccy for that he smiled and said I was right to do what I thought was correct. Think he was testing my bottle and it almost gave way

To throw common sense to one side for a moment

No addition or alteration shall be made until it has been ascertained that etc etc

Ascertained definition - To make certain, definite, and precise.


If he was of a mind.then he could play the awkward part
The situation of the main bonding is not definite
Will testing make it so, maybe,maybe not,it depends on the assessor I suppose

In the day to day job,testing for continuity of the cable to the water pipe would satisfy my addition,but this is an assessment and leaving yourself open to interpretation is a weakness for your application

The reg quoted by Accat gives you a way out
Can you not install another bond in the nearest accessable position

you cant be sure that the reading youre getting is actually off the mpb can you? for all you know it could be off the boiler feed cpc.
you need to prove location otherwise you run another cable in.
location is as stated, 'where practical'.
