On an Installation Schedule form (including test results) does the no. of points refer to actual sockets (ie a double socket = 2) etc or a point as in the term a connection which may mean a double socket =1
Would agree with Spark & RF but my assessor said "It doesn't matter just be consistent - if you call a double socket two points then always call a double socket two points".
Personally it makes more sense if a double socket is one connection to a ring or spur so its one point.
Aye. The certificate is to do with the fixed wiring rather than the accessory.
I was always told that a point is a connection so, per the above, a double socket is a point. Otherwise a 4 ring hob would be 4 points and that would be crazy.

But the forms are not consistent! There is a lighting point and there is the furthest point and testing point all completely different.
The point is with lighting you have more than ceiling roses you also have wall lamps so a word has to be found to cover both.
The word point is used four times in the document. And when referring to sockets it is talking about a test place which will be electrical mid way on a ring main.
The Installation Schedule form (including test results) issued by the IET does not refer to points these are referred to in the minor works certificate. Plus note 12 and Test instrument record.
