Of course it does, just as it signifies competence to design, install, and certify electrical installations.Scheme membership in itself does not signify, or even attempt to signify, competence to carry out EICRs.
I don't see that you are.I'm glad everyone's getting to grips with the mess I'm in...
No, it does not.Of course it does, just as it signifies competence to design, install, and certify electrical installations.
As an aside, this is a problem which more and more LABCs will face, when insisting on registered electricians as a short-cut to verifying competence. The amount of work which requires notification was dramatically reduced (in England) a few years ago, so it makes less financial sense for electricians to be registered for that reaon. And the general benefits of being registered are less tangible.I then handed the certificate to building control who told me it wasn't suitable because he's not Part P certified I challenged him and he said... well I used to be but it's expensive...
There used to be one.Is there a register I can check somewhere?
Read what I wrote again - this time pay closer attention to the fifth and sixth words.No, it does not.
Experience and knowledge are requirements for competent installation design, construction and certification.Experience and knowledge are requirements for competent EICRs.
If it's unnecessary then it's just a money making idea, not extended checks on competence.I believe some schemes charge more for unnecessary EICR registration, therefore, the basic registration obviously does not cover it.
That you think basic registration signifies competence to carry out installation design, construction and certification is surely a leap of faith and change of heart given the general view of scheme inspection.That you think basic registration signifies competence to carry out EICRs is surely a leap of faith and change of heart given the general view of scheme inspection.
Don't listen to that someone - they have nothing correct to tell you.Someone mentioned to me it should have its own earthing rod because of the distance from the house.
Where did you read that?I read something that said using a small consumer unit with RCD in a shed off a spur would make it less safe than it just running as a spur from the house.
Can you post a link to where they said that?Is it potentially safe for this SWA spur to be connected to a small consumer unit in the shed? (Someone else on here said that would make it less safe which to me seemed strange but a little knowledge and all that!)
