Portable decon unit leccy certificate requirement help

[Sparky Brian]

Portable decon unit (trailer type that gets hooked up like a caravan)which has 1 x CU for the lights and tubular heaters protected by mcb's and a 30mA RCD and 2 x CU for 2 x showers both with mcb's and 30 mA RCDs. The owner has been asked to get electrical certificates for the unit but I'm at a loss as to how this can be done in his yard as the supply to the 3 CU's get connected up on site via 240 trailing leads (2 x 32 amp and 1 x 16 amp) and the properties on the supply will differ with each different site they are on. Would the Decon unit need to be tested and certified every time it's put on a different site or could it possibly be classified as a portable appliance ? headbang

Any help here appreciated lads :C

ps it's no wonder I Guinness to much

normal PIR but marked for transportable unit. chassis number etc as 'address'. either one PIR for each CU/supply, or one PIR with 3 schedule of tests, each clearly marked as their own supply etc. section 717 covers mobile units, but also worth a read of section 721

You could supply a Dead tested Only PIR with instructions to complete Live tests when hooked up on site.

This is usually what comes with Mobile home Units and they have to be completed on site by connecting Electrician.
