Aye, it does help a wee bit :) I guess what i'm trying to find out is if I go on a job and the customer says 'are you a qualified electrician?' I can show them the applicable certificates to prove that I am. But if they say 'are you qualified to carry out PIRs?' am I? :o Like I say I don't...

Just a quick one on this guys: (1) Why would there be any need for borrowing a neutral when using 2C+E / 3C+E? Or does the issue arise when not using 2C+E / 3C+E? (2) Before carrying out any electrical work what would cause an electrician to even suspect that something might be wired this way...

Sorry to sound like a complete doughnut sparkytim but it still doesn't really make sense. :_| bad day explode Are you saying that I can carry out PIRs without C&G 2392 but not under the scheme provider name?

1. Is C&G 2392 sufficient too? 2. Aye, full PIR report.

I'm just a bit confused with this: (1) If any competent person can carry out PIRs what is the need for 2391? (2) If someone wants me to carry out some electrical testing when, for example, they are moving house and they need the required documentation, what would happen then? I don't mean to...

Isn't C&G 2391 required when carrying out PIRs / testing the work of another electrician etc...?

Is the certification required for carrying out PIRs different to that required for testing someone else's electrical work?

I realised how silly that sounded once i'd posted it! :coat

Cheers Special Location! :) So in summary domestic installers cover domestic work only and approved contractors cover domestic, commercial and industrial work i.e. the whole 9 yards!

Cheers guys. Every thread's an education! :)

Hi guys, I've looked into the difference between these two but it's still not entirely clear. I was just wondering if someone could tell me in layman's terms what each is for?

If you test continuity of CPC by testing R1 + R2 would you use the value in the 8th line down (19.51)?

Thanks guys. I need it for my NICEIC assessment next Thursday. I've spoken to the assessor and he said he'll bring me a copy when he comes out....result! :D

Does anyone know where I could download the EAWR from?

The value should be 19.51, not 12.10 i.e. 2.5mm line conductor with a 1.5mm CPC

Where are you getting the figures in red from?

Use a bigger cable? Or find a shorter route from the MCB to the cooker switch?

1 Ohm, 32A MCB as suggested by sparkytim.

Is the answer 1.44 x 0.8 = 1.152? If so the Zs of 1.35 is less than the BRB figure of 1.44 but more than the 1.152 figure (80%) so does this make it unacceptable?

Hi guys, I've just been looking into what the maximum allowed value is when testing for continuity of CPC but I can't seem to find one - Is there one? :o
