Which regulation?

[Pretty Mouth]

It’s one of those situations where you need to speak to the customer and say "Look, ive found a few of these... shall i just fix them as i go around? Saves taking the covers off again later."

As I mentioned earlier, it's an interesting job, in more ways than one.

It's actually part of a large new build house that I'm inspecting. The owner tells me that the installing electrician passed away before completion. However, the installation has been put into service, and the part of the building being inspected is now occupied by the owner's son, who, I am also told, has completed an electrical apprenticeship, but has now moved into carpentry.

There is no paperwork whatsoever for this part of the property, and the private BCO the owner uses has requested an EICR so he can sign it off. The owner has asked me to carry out the inspection only, and says he will arrange for someone else to do the remedial work, but will ask me to come back to re-inspect after the work is done.

Now. I know I what I think, and it's probably the same thing you're thinking.

The work, for the most part, seems of a okay standard, but there is a lot that is unfinished. Unenclosed connections, 2 and 3 way switching wired incorrectly, and so on.

Anyway, long story short, is that I want every non compliance and observation recorded, either in the initial report, or the follow-up. Then it is up the the BCO to decide, based on that, if he is happy to sign it off.

Easiest way to cover all non-compliances is Chapter 13, anything in addition is supportting regulation but going through Chapter 13 will be the quickest way to locate/assign them

Remembering of course that while you are undertaking work as either an employee or self-employed; EAWR applies, once you leave it does not (same is said of LABC when they visit), this can help compile non-compliances as you're also calling on EAWR.

Example would be 134.1.4 mapping to Regulation 10; Connections
