Caravan Electrical Certs

More importantly, why have you replied to a 7-year old thread?

He's presumably been trawling back through years of PBoD's posts to find some 'evidence' he can introduce into his latest war. He must have a very boring and/or sad life.

Kind Regards, John

Because his medication has run out and he has become delusional!

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

PBoD - why did you tell him all that when he was asking about a certificate?

Because there was no suggestion that any new electrical work had been carried out, so on face value it did not require an EIC or MWC.

Since this thread was started Scottish law has changed, this does raise a question, if I hire a caravan in Wales and take it to Scotland would I need to have it inspected by some one complying with Scottish regulations, or would Welsh and English caravans be exempt from the new regulations in Scotland covering EICR for premises with tenants, or is the fact it's on wheels mean it does not come under the new rules?

I will read regulations for where I live, but not for places where I don't. So I have no idea how the new Scottish regulations are worded, since at the moment we are still in the EEC then I would say if OK in country of origin then must be allowed after crossing boarders.

In my own little caravan the consumer unit is prone to shaking loose, before connecting up I do check, also easy for bedding to shift during travelling again stopping ventilation from consumer unit which also has the 12 volt power supply built in. So it needs testing after it arrives on site. So what is really the point? You can do all the testing you want, and it is all invalid as soon as you move to another site. Best you can do is a plug in tester.

Because of the abuse I got from PBoD (and am still getting, it seems) when I tried to explain to him that in ordinary parlance an official report attesting facts about an electrical installation following inspecting and testing is indeed "a certificate" (with a small "c").

"Ordinary" people do not necessarily use the "correct" terms or definitions found in BS 7671, hence things like "bulb" and "low voltage". PBoD refuses to believe that, and insists that when someone uses the word "certificate" they cannot possibly be referring to an EICR (or PIR as was), and became quite vehement about that.

And yet what did he do here? He told someone who asked about getting a "certificate" all about PIRs.

I would be intrigued to know how long it took you to dig up that 7-year old post to 'support your case' - after all PBoD posts quite a lot!

Not long.

But he said he wanted a certificate.

But he said he wanted an official document as proof that something has happened or been done:

Have you got nothing better to do???

He said someone else had told him he needed one, which was very likely incorrect based on the information posted, as no electrical installation work was ever mentioned, was it.
I think the best thing now is to put you on ignore, as you have nothing constructive or of interest to post, just want to cause aggravation, when you are wrong!

I agree.

PBoD refuses to accept that anybody could ever use the word "certificate" when what they mean is "an official document as proof that something has happened or been done". He refuses to accept that they could possibly mean (in an electrical installation context) anything other than an EIC or a MEWIC.

I see so you can't get a certificate of authenticity.
