OP - what do your CPS technical line suggest?
I don't belong to the cps and as for paperwork I'm on about verification certificate and schedule of results i dont use a pc i do it all on written forms and if you read earlier I have done each circuit individually as per the schedule of results and at every point of each test continuity of r1 r2 and rn and all ok, had pass results on all my circuits doing IR, test polarity was proven by first test and then measured my ze which then with my r1 and r2 gave me my zs which then I checked with the regs and all okay so then its the RCD test which all downstairs passed so tell me which test I have done wrong when everything tells me its passed.
part p of the building regs .... free download , recommend you read it ...What do you mean comply to part p
which is code for no insurance, no tax, no vat, no part pOK will do thanks I've never had reason to join as this is not my full time job I'm an a v engineer do stage lighting and sound systems around the country do the electrics for my company, I've done this consumer unit as a favour for a friend but haven't come across this problem before.
What ever, i come on here for some guidance from experts and all you get is ridiculed for not having the full expertize, we all started somewhere and had to ask questions at sometime in our career, unfortunately I was a late starter with electrics and still a bit green only passed my exams a few months back and I don't have the luxury to ask a fellow employee who's got decades of experience for any guidance I rely on this site, but unfortunately I feel its the same as other forums with people ready to shoot you down because of a lack of knowledge.

It isn't a case of 'having a go' as you put it, there are ways to do things in this game, just as there are in anything in life, you learn the rules and follow them, in my part of the world Part P isn't so much of a problem, the building control department are more bothered about your skils than whether you're a member of a scam or not, I've done paperwork for jobs without being in a scam and had them accepted, why? because a little chat with the inspector and he soon realises that I know what I'm doing, I've 30 odd years experience in the job after all.What ever, i come on here for some guidance from experts and all you get is ridiculed for not having the full expertize, we all started somewhere and had to ask questions at sometime in our career, unfortunately I was a late starter with electrics and still a bit green only passed my exams a few months back and I don't have the luxury to ask a fellow employee who's got decades of experience for any guidance I rely on this site, but unfortunately I feel its the same as other forums with people ready to shoot you down because of a lack of knowledge.

No worries mate, it makes you a bigger bloke for the apology, Sadly I suspect you may have fallen for all the hype surrounding the short courses, how you'll earn megga bucks quite easily. Sadly they don't tell you about all the money you'll be laying out for tools, test gear, regs books, and a host of other things, plus sitting loads more courses over the years, not to mention that despite what they tell you as they gleefully part you from your hard earned cash it's only much later after passing the course that you realise that in actual fact you know ****** all, lol.Hi Phil and others firstly I apologise for my rant earlier and no disrespect to anyone who's tried to help me, I'm just frustrated with myself at not realising all the regs you got to keep on top of, I was one of those blokes who did the short courses back inn 2008 and then just done my testing and inspecting a few months back, I don't class myself as an electrician but my A V company sent me on this course I mentioned, but always only doing spurs and had my work signed of from a local sparky but then the company decides to put me through testing and inspecting like you said the test is an ideal world test but they don't teach you fault finding and the techniques which frustrates me as I want to do a proper and safe job, anyway apologise again about the rant earlier.
Thanks all for your comments I'm going back tomorrow to redo my IR test on circuits and see what I get and do it the way Murdoch told me to do it. Luckily the house is not lived in at the moment just a shell with plaster board on, thanks again
My money is still on a borrowed neutral OR a neutral in the wrong neutral bar
split load boards do not comply with the regs......discuss ( question for father and eldest child ) ....10 points
Any neutral on an energised circuit supplying a load will be 'live' once disconnectedread about once you pull a borrowed neutral it then becomes live
