Recently got into a debate with another sparky! He claims that if you do a job in a special location, in this case a bathroom, you should test every circuit in the consumer unit and issue a full Schedule of Test Results certificate. Personally i would and do just submit a minor works cert. Unless i have created a new cicuit... obviously. I think he is talking nonsense....he is...isnt he?
Thank you, i was just looking for confirmation. The bloke who said this was SO sure he was doing the right thing and i was cutting corners... thanks seneca.
Probably the new style certs which lists things to check in the entire house. Thing is though if you fit some downlights in a bathroom ceiling or a fan then odds on its not in the special location part anyway. Even if the regs told you to, I won't be testing a whole house just for a simple job.
it seems crazy that someone needs to check the whole installation when only completing a job which is part of one aspect. if the whole installation needs checking a eicr should be carried (and paid for) out!
doesn't it actually state in the EIC notes, that an EIC is not to be used for inspecting existing installations?
