Compliance Certificate.

[Greenie9657]

Good morning all,

I had a lot of work done last summer and finally got the compliance certificate through the post yesterday but it seems a little vague. I've tried to attached a photo but for some reason this app isn't allowing it.

Anyway, underneath where it says 'Description of Notifiable Work' it lists "Electrical" and then "Circuit alteration or addition in a special location" its this all that should be on there?

I had a extension built so the kitchen ring was extended, a new CU was fitted and a cable run from that new CU to a shed where I have a light and 3 sockets. The certificate just seems a little vague considering what work was carried out.

Many thanks

The EIC the electrician issued at the time should have all the details on it.

A compliance certificate is just a confirmation certificate from building control that a) they’ve been notified and b) it meets building regs (although they don’t actually know it does, they’re relying on the scheme provider to police that)

As per Ban's reply, the guy should have left (or posted soon after leaving) an Electrical Installation Certificate covering the new circuit and the board change and a Minor Works Certificate for the ring final extension.

This looks like that EIC you are referring to it's just taken nearly a year to et it!

Your description is not of an Electrical Installation Certificate.

Example of how it should look: http://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-regulations/forms/2015-amd3-forms.cfm?type=pdf

As soon as I figure out why I can't send pictures I'll hopefully sort it and send one.

Just copy and paste.

Simply drag the image file(s) from your PC into the reply box.

That is the building regs notification. The electrician should also have given you an installation certificate.

That is a Building Regulations compliance certificate, not an Electrical Installation Certificate.

'Special location' is a bathroom or similar.

You should have received - fairly quickly from the electrican - paperwork for the extension and kitchen work.

Several sheets that look like this

Indeed - and that is precisely what the OP said it was! ...

Kind Regards, John

It was just a Google image to show Greenie the type.


Edit - That was a reply to a post that seems to have disappeared.
