The certificate (an NICIEC document) when handed to me contained 2 pages, page 2 - the 'checklist' was blank, is that optional ???? - it asks some very pertinent questions. Should I, as RP expect to be given the page 2 completed. I am confident my sparky is fully competent, I have a good grasp...

I have 2x flats with self contained non maintained Emergency Bulkheads. My electrician has provided Emergency Lighting Completion Certificates for both flats ('For Small New Installations'). The GF flat has 2 lights in the one corridor, which opens into a small lobby, then onto the street, the...

electrical installation certificate are not legal requirements Is that right, interesting, so what is the lawful status of a domestic installation with Compliance and Completion Certs, but no DEIC then ? My understanding is it is the Electrician who issues the Compliance Certificate and BC the...

Hi Thanks, yes thats what I thought, I expected him to do the necessary tests, I will look to get this sorted. Am I right that a MWC is appropriate for this type of work, and although minor, all work should be tested and recorded, and that is what such a form is for, I note lots of threads on...

Hi, My electrician has issued a MINOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MULTIPLE WORKS CERTIFICATE. P1 is completed as expected, the Serial No. of his test instrument filled in, but on P2, SCHEDULE OF CIRCUIT DETAILS AND TEST RESULTS is blank. The property is an HMO, 2x existing radials from the CU go...

Fire Angel bizarrely called me up today to advise the replacements they want to send are not instock for a few weeks, (are on there way from China) ...

I asked Fire Angel: "When you say it chirps once on a while, how often is 'once in a while' please. When you say 'unlearnt asap', what time frame are you suggesting here. Do you have more in depth technical information you can send me please." The reply I received then from Fire Angel gave...

I have posted previously on the decision to rip out wireless Fire Angels and replace with hardwire interlinked AICO's. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/fire-angel-mains-alarm-system-battery-failure.576872/ 2 core and earth FP200 fire cable is laid (yes yes, but for what was orginally to be a...

I get an email from Fire Angel today: The failure rate is confidential. Yes, when removing 1 alarm for your network, without unlearning all the others, these others will beep every once in a while to indicate they are missing that unit. If not unlearnt asap, their chirp becomes permanent...

Thought I would update this with some additional info. Grade C's, whilst only requiring a monthly test, will require a 6 month engineer service and certificate, so that is a cost consideration. Grade D AICO's (3000 series) are individually bench tested, 3 times from what I was informed, they...

Other features generally only available on Grade A systems. I guess from an operators point of view they want to make sure it retains some form of 'Idiot Proof'ness, shame. I presume there is some LED signalling on these simple systems detectors to let you know which detector will have gone off...

Hi, thank you for the considered reply. I understand a Grade C system might solve my problem, I have found one system that might suit: it only requires monthly testing, and has one central battery. Initial googling brings up...

Hi, I and others are experiencing permature battery failures on these units and wish to replace the system. 2 core and earth FP200 fire cable was laid ready for 2x Grade A systems to be installed in 2x flat conversion. A certified Fire Risk Assessor was brought in, but told me that the...

CE-marking (and, I suspect, also UKCA marking, although I haven't looked into it) is essentially meaningless So its a bit like Fire Doors, no one comes and inspects after installation (apart from the quartely inspections for the Log), the legal framework and penalties for non compliance are...

Hi John, until the transition period ends, I assume I will continue to see CE marked goods, could I assume then that electrical items missing this CE 'kite mark' are not tested to the required standard, could be a fire hazard and should be removed from use by tenants. The .Gov link makes...

Seems most folk these days are swimming around in a sea of cheap imported mains powered /plugable chinese electricals, often found plugged into rows of 4 way extensions Should not electrical items that you plug in - conform to certain BS/EU standards, and be tested as such. What is the UK...

Thanks for the tip, I just have to remember these thoughts on the next job.

Whats the quietest inline bathroom fan with humidistat, 240v, you can buy. This relates to another thread: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/do-you-need-a-bathroom-fan-isolator-switch.572633/

they simply pushed something through the grill of the fan And then they remove whatever it was they stuffed up there when the landlord comes to inspect, I had some Humidistat Fans that burnt out before, I just assumed it was unreliable electronics. You could examine the rotor blades for any...

Thank you all for the double (and single) confirmations on the DP Isolator SW. I am sure the science of mould growth is an indepth one, but heat and ventilation are required as mentioned, I once had a tenant with a mould obsession (OCD might be the correct phrase), windows in the bathroom...
