Scheme members - notification

[BS3036]

A question just occurred to me. Sorry if I get the jargon wrong. If a scheme member does some work which involves a submain plus a new CU, and let's say, fills in two EICs, (one for submain, one for CU etc) does this member have to pay the scheme twice to notify the two EICs?

IMO it would still only be a single EIC, but with details of the sub-board, so only one notification.

 

[BS3036]

Yeah, I know that there is a difference of opinion on whether it's one or two EICs, but I was wondering if that's because two costs more.

You're notifying the work which has been carried out, not the amount of EIC's you may have or may not have completed.

One notification and while we're here, one EIC

we use Napit and can multiple notify on a single notification
we do gas and electrics as 2 entries on the building control notifcation.

All it needs is one EIC, and one set of continuation sheets.

 

[BS3036]

Great, thanks for the feedback. I expect from the sound of it that I was mixing up having two Schedules of Results with having two EICs anyway.

 

[GaryMo]

You can have as many schedule of test results as you like with an EIC and schedule of inspections.

This does not sound like a DIY question. Is that why the forum is called DIYnot I wonder.

I think it is one EIC and one notification. I would test the main CU as well and use continuations if required.

I asked a question about circulating harmonic currents in supply network earth conductors a while ago. Does that make me a bad person for asking my fellow trade professionals a non DIY question on a DIY site?

I think I'd best shut down my account and set fire to my laptop.

There are probably more appropriate forums for that particular question.

 

[GaryMo]

Maybe but there's a good range of people with knowledge in different areas so it wouldn't surprise to to get an answer to pretty much most electrically biased questions.

 

[BS3036]

Actually, in a way, it is a DIY question. I will be in the situation of having to fill in an EIC for the BCO soon, and I have installed a sub-main and a new CU. The bit about paying a scheme for notification is not relevant of course, as I am doing this under my extension building control notification, and have been told I will be considered a 'competent' person under the regulations, and can provide my own EIC.

I said it did not sound like a DIY question, and it doesn't, but it is.

Good to have cleared that up, now about those pesky circulating harmonic currents in supply network earth conductors - anyone?

Please check with local fire brigade and ensure compliance to WEEE regulations before setting fire to any consumer electronics.

Yes it does, now be a good boy & get the lighter fluid & matches.
