    test results that differ

    Personally I would take the PIR results as a snap shot of the time they were taken, so the new (differing) results would only be shown on the new certs. This could be followed up by comments if the new results have worsened and it has raised concerns.

    Fault on lighting circuit

    May also be an incorrect mcb i.e. B type where a C would be better suited.

    Made me chuckle!

    In a pub quiz the other day I lost by one point. The question was where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, it's Africa ! One of the other questions was to name two things commonly found in cells. It appears that Scousers and Pikeys is not the correct answer! The wife told me I was...

    Which cert??

    My apologies, I read the initial question as "connection of residential home (posh mobiles to you and me)" and assumed lighting + power etc :coat

    Which cert??

    Minor works cert can't be used for "replacement switchgear incorporating protective devices for more than one circuit" or "modifications to more than one circuit" (main protective device?). So for me it's an EIC

    R1+R2 Value per Meter

    For resistance values (R1+R2)? Unless I am missing something (very possible!) the ones at the back of the Regs are for volt drop and current carrying capacities.

    The fixed lug rule.

    I do not do much domestic and if I am asked to test someone else's work (normally mechanical supplies) I would carry it out on a Periodic Report. Can't the boxes on the installation certificate for Design, Construction not be signed by the installer & Testing/ Inspection by the tester and...

    The fixed lug rule.

I have seen this before on new build where the circuits from different house are crossed when they are wired i.e...

    Fault on RCD Trip

    Fault/leakage current from one installation finding its way back to earth via the earthing arrangements of another installation was a know to cause problems with the old voltage operated ELCBs, but shouldn't affect modern RCDs. I think (from a distant memory!) that the cause could sometimes be...
