Surly you'd just use terminal blocks http://www.screwfix.com/prods/28279/Electrical/Cable-Accessories/Cable-Connectors/Terminal-Blocks-15A-Pack-of-10looked in the job in more depth, the fuse box is the old type with no rcd, so i told my dad it might be worthwile upgrading this for something more suitable. i isolted the power and had a good look in his fuse box, he has 2.5mm ring circuits with a cpc and 1.5mm lighting again with a cpc, although its the old colouring red,black and green its not rubber its pvc. so its looking positive, even a 6mm cooker cable not 4mm. i dissconected at the fuse to see if there was any loose cable to pull through, as the consumer unit is bigger and requires longer tails, but it would not budge, it was the same at thr rest apart from the 6mm cable as i pulled a foot through. my question to you is how can i get the increased length of cable to connect in to the consumer unit.thank you.
Your NICEIC 'friend' cannot sign off other peoples work.I passed my 16th edition wiring regs a couple a years and passed my upgrade to 17th in june but its mainly used at work with industrial, my friend is niceic registered so he will test and sign it of. so chocblox are okay to use?thankyou.
It's not who you are with..can he not, i thought if he came and did a full inspection and test and issued me with a cert that was okay. he also nappit, if thats what it is called, registered aswell.
Using Regs Model Forms, does that mean Vic can complete and sign for parts 1 and 2 and his friend sign part 3?It's not who you are with..Its what is the thing that you are signing for..
The declaration that is signed on the NICEIC Domestic Elec Ins Cert
is signed for Design, Construction, Inspection & Testing..
1 person/company signing for total responsibility.
Whereas the model forms in the regs.. (e.g. pg 332 big red book).
have space for separate signatures
1) Design
2) Construction
3) Inspection & testing.
which is more common practice within commercial work!
I personally would never sign off other persons work.. because..
should the worst happen and someone is seriously injured resulting in an investigation of some sort..
and if any negligence is identified.. well.. I wouldn't want that responsibility
The regs require as I understand it that an 'Installation Certificate' is required, not an inspection cert. But as SL says the installation cert has different signature boxes for Installation and Testing so would suggest using that and signing the appropraite boxes with your mate who will also need to register job with BC.can he not, i thought if he came and did a full inspection and test and issued me with a cert that was okay. he also nappit, if thats what it is called, registered aswell.
