Morning all

Does anyone who the title applies to use their certificates? If yes, on the EIC test result sheet, what does "designation of CU" mean?

Also, as a more general question; what should one put down as a recommended "next inspection" date if they're only adding a new circuit? I know there are standard system checks to do when adding a circuit, but it's not as extensive as a PIR so would it still be 10years?

Cheers

most people put DB1 in this column it is the same for all installers like the niceic.

You could put fuse board 1, main board, or whatever you like.

Like I said though most people just put DB1.

Its up to the tester based on the condition he finds.

If all tests are above the required minimum, and there is unlikely to be any change then 10 years would be ok.

If you find say the insulation was down you may want to come back in 5 years or less to keep an eye on it.

I agree with the Super-Hero , there may be two C/Us so you are expected to identify them. I put 5 years in for next inspection , nobody acts on it anyway . I think, as with rented property, which has an inspection at change of tenancy, there should be one at change of ownership.

ELECSA certs only have 10 ways on the schedule ,could do with 12 IMO

could that be so you need another pad with continuation in?!

Thank you for the replies. Do you order their certificates in bulk then or do you sometimes use other ones?

I just order the one book of certs ( 25 certs I think) which I use for part P work , which I don't do much of . You can use any certs that conform to whatever standard they ask for.

I use NICEIC certs; but also use software ones, printed onto plain paper sometimes.

I only carry the NIC forms that I use often; so an odd cert wouldn`t warrant buying a pad of `em.
