2Nd Fix Comercial Lighting Sign Off

[cal646]

hi everyone ive been qualified  for a few years but have been working in security equipment for the most, ive been asked to fit some lights in a commercial building, the main  wiring has been done il be wiring the actual fittings with a connector and installing but it needs to be signed off, is this able to be done with a minor works certificate by myself? since it is only fitting the connector and plugging in above the ceilings but im unsure so need advice thank you guy and girls

 

[ProDave]

Is this a new circuit? who installed the wiring? has it been tested? has any certificate been issued?

If you had done the whole job then an EIC or MWC

as i stated all wiring has been done the unit is a finished one but had lighting removed im literally wiring a new connector to new lights and plugging into the existing ceiling  mounted female connectors .

I think its a Minor Works .   Who wants it "signed off"  by the way .

Do you mean Klick type plug & flex ?

Maybe a Minor Works just to show existing circuit is safe,,, but that's pushing it IMHO for something that's essentially plugged in...

 

[Andy™]

if its all on kliks then not really any paperwork to be done. not much different from plugging something into a socket...

 i believe they are the klick type ,ok thanks gents i will issue a minor works cert just to cover my behind,always nice to sure  i hope i can share some pearls of wisdom to others thank you

The notes in appendix 6 for the model forms does say that a minor works can be used for a replacement accessory or luminaries. With the proviso that irrespective of the amount of work, appropriate inspection and testing should be done. So if someone wants a certificate give them one with whatever level of testing you feel is appropriate to cover your back, but not leave you liable for others work.

you are not installing a new circuit so a MWC will cover it.
