which cert

[Toonlad]

im about to undertake some upgrade work for a local council. It is upgradeing there 2 way Cu to a 4 way to add a supply for a door access system.
This means at present its on the landlords supply and is feeding the communal lighting and a spur for the distributed tv system.
Now adding to these will be my door access. making 3 circuits for me to be accountable for.

my question do i do the elect installation cert or the domestic electrical cert , im angling more towards the EiC as i have communial lighting, but as its landlords supply maybe domestic EIC.something in my memory about 12 circuits or less is coming back to me?
Any clarification on this will be greatly appreciated

First of all you carry-out a PIR to assess the state of the installation, report back to the customer any defects.
Then you do an EIC because you are not working on a domestic site, the site is communal area which happens to how domestic areas off it. the communal areas could just as easily be a corridor outside different offices or industrial units.

Does that make sense?

yes it does make sense thankyou.

i have a copy of a periodic as it happens its only 11 months old. just had a look and and compared it the other day. i did chuckle at it lots they must have done it with the door shut.

nvm i will do another and throw it at them to decide.

thanks for the input

In that case (a PIR with back door closed) I would take a sample test as a comparison,
If the sample tests do not hold up to further investigation then state that the PIR is not reliable and either you carry-out a new PIR or our customer gets the other electrician back to carry out the CU upgrade.

Sometimes it's better to walk away (otherwise the buck may stop with you)
