Not sure that an labc can stipulate that their own approved inspectors can only be used. If the inspector is approved to undertake 3rd party certification ( which involves close scrutiny of both knowledge and qualifications) then that should be sufficient. If you have had problems with refusal...

Hi.... try to find a local electrician who is a registered 3rd party certifier. He will be able to inspect and test the installation and certificate it. He will need the details of the original installer for certificate purposes and this will be accepted by labc.
