Hi Guys. Yes, I've calmed down a bit this morning, and have to agree with the assessor, I should have checked things out as I was going to show him that job. A lesson for my ego Blushing Think i've found a way out of it, complicated to explain though in just text... the jist is... Do you...

Well I know that now!! :D I even had the keys to another job in my pocket... but what do you do at 5 past 4 on a friday afternoon? Go "ooo-eerrr" and do a sidestep, "err, excuse me, but not this one, this one is a chancers place now" lol I also didn't expect him to be too bothered about...

Ah... no, I haven't actually installed the main bonds, they were already there. They've just hidden them from view. But essentially they are in the same place (not the gas meter move). "It's no good bringing me to see a job that doesn't have main bonding clearly visible" "But they've altered...

Boo!! Had my assessment today... had a non conformance! Basically took him to see a small job (utility room ext, SWA to small cu, 1 ring 3 outlets, 1 light 2 outlets) and I'd changed the CU in main house. I & T and cert, building notice already paid due to builders, no probs. Basically the...

It is if it's an outside socket or in a kitchen! LOL! :D Quite where the extra danger comes from escapes me... :D :coat Applaud Smiley like the new smilies admin Applaud Smiley

I spoke to the md of Abacus design & build, Camberley surrey area last week, they do responsive work for Surrey Heath Council, he says they want Elecsa now, but previously wanted NIC, and he's just renewed NIC ! lol He said that they also have to go through some sort of 'accreditation'...

Well number 1 answer is funny... I bought the Kewtech Multi tester KT61 last January, and it said 17th EDITION COMPLIANT on the box!! :D I bought it because I didn't have a rcd tester. I can feel a law suit coming on...

Further to my other thread, which I don't want to sidetrack from, as the title says here, on the previous thread the kewtech manual says that to do a Zs test you must replace the rcd with an mcb temporarily to stop unwanted tripping... so what do you do when you've got a board full of rcbo's...

I'm following you Robo, but testing on the 2000 range tests at 15mA, so rcd shouldn't trip? Your one tests at that as well according to the manual. Hmmm.

Nah, think it's reasonably clear Andy, when it's set to test IR a big capital M appears in front of the ohm sign. I've just read the manual again and it appears that theres a thermometer symbol that can come up when doing loop, maybe it's that instead of a '1' lol Hope ElecSa bloke doesn't ask...

I set it to both ranges, 20 or 2000 gets same reading. I'm gonna have to do it at home later to refresh my memory on whether the rcd trips or not ?:| I noticed that they (in the manual) refer to the 2000 range as 'Meg'... surely that should be K?

Hi Guys, I've got a Kewtech KT61 multi tester; http://www.kewtechcorp.com/products/multifunction/KT61.htm (and I can't work out how to do the link in my own words... lol) and every Zs test i do on sockets, i get the reading of '1'. This can't be right? Ze doesn't appear to be a problem, so...

Thanks Guys, Nozspark came up with the goods. Applaud Smiley Applaud Smiley Applaud Smiley Guiness Drink Guiness Drink Guiness Drink Thanks again mate. Will let you know what assessor guy says (not that I'm going to ask him "if this old one's alright..." lol)

Quite how anyone worked out that the council was only accepting NIC & not ElecSa sparks borders on NVQ level 3 in ESP... :D

Yeah, we all went off at a tangent at first as we thought it was a notification issue. Perhaps I didn't use great examples of segragatative practices in my other post in this thread, apols to anyone offended.

Good link Apache, nice one. Mine's still going strong, 18 yrs now :D

Not sure why that word was blanked out above? Phonetically it's horsey. but correct spelling has an 'a' in it? Maybe I spelt it wrong. The spell checker won't let me spell/write my football team, from north london also known as 'the gunners'. :( Thanks for the clarification.

Ahhh... the penny drops. Thanks for that Apache, I didn't realise it was *exclusively* a pain killer, I thought it was a combo type drug that reduced swelling as well. He's on all the supplements, about 38.5 kg now, peaked at 42 kg, a big chested strong lab, vet doesn't seem too concerned with...

'We as a council can ask for whoever we want to carry out work or reports, just like any private householder can. A few years ago a decision was made to only use and accept Niceic enrolled electricians for any properties that we have an interest in, either rented or owned by ourselves'. Yeah...

I'm not convinced that's the one Andy... I've got that already and was looking for the key words 'memo of guidance' which aren't there on the SI. I've got the N. Ireland version, it's a couple of years after the E & W one, seems the E & W H & SE sell their version :( Boo...
