Hi Everyone,
I wonder if you could help clarify the approach to meeting 17th Edition Regs? I've just had a substantial amount of electrical work carried out by a major contractor. Everything was done on electrical installation certificates and despite the fact that we had a schedule of rates which included minor works and EICR they have not done one single EICR or minor works.
My first issue is that I've no idea whether or not much of the work carried out actually needed doing and my second issue is that I understood that once you start working on an electrical installation then the whole system needs upgrading to 17th Edition. Is this incorrect and if not I'd be grateful for some clarity.
I also wondered when it was appropriate to use a minor works certificate in preference to an installation certificate?
Thanks in advance.
