I think I know the answer to my question but I want to double check:
A friend of mine has an Electric Gate and garage door business and has installed a SWA from the house down to he gate, as they are not allowed to install a fused spur they fitted a plug top and plugged it in as a temporary measure to get it working for testing purposes - then informed the customer they will need to get an electrician in to install a fused spur and carry out final connections.
The electrician now wants a certificate for their part of the work, in effect they have plugged in an appliance, I can understand the electricians reasons for wanting the certificate as Part P covers all work outside the house and doesn't want to be pulled up on it by NICEIC.
Do they have to issue a certificate? Could a non Part P electrician certify the SWA.
