ok here is one for you all...
A large rewire in central london, 80% complete,client gets rid of original electrical contractors and gets me in to complete.
second fixing, identifying of cables,some completion of circuits,termination and completion of consumer units and full inspection and test to be carried out..
so what's the problem i hear you say, well...
the original contractors started the project in 2007, in the 16th edition, i am now taking over in the 17th where rcd's are mandatory and earthing requirements have changed. Do i complete the installation to the 16th or do i now comply to the 17th? meaning installing rcd's/rcbo's and upgrade main and supplementary and any other parts of the installation that do not comply to the 17th edition???
i phoned the nic and they told me to adhere to the 17th but yet when i e-mail the E.C.A and the H.S.E. the say it was designed in the 16th and should be completed to the 16th...
please help
