I have just found out, that after working out how to rewire the house
and fit a new CU, I now have to test it. Not only that, I have to send in a test report for the Inspectors to view (plus one copy for the document dossier). So, is there any kind person out there who is able to send me an electronic version of a blank test certificate template - or something similar, which would satisfy the building inspectors etc? Thanks for your help. |

What are you going to do with the blank certificate once you've got it? What really matters is not the certificate, but the fact that the work has been tested by a suitably equipped person who is competent to do so. -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk |

Sorry Mr Bryer, I have all the gear - it's for my work on Zone 0 and Zone 1 hazardous area electrical installations. Meters, Scopes, Meg's, LCR bridges etc. etc. etc. I will check the wiring out and fill in the forms myself - the certificate is just to save me from having to design one myself, and the inspector would like some continuity I'm sure. Thanks, Ren. |

If you have all the test equipment and know how to use it then I am surprised you don't know where to get the forms from. A selection are available from the IET (formerly IEE) web site. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

randomly hit the keyboard and produced: I will check the wiring out and fill in the forms myself - the certificate is just to save me from having to design one myself, and the inspector would like some continuity I'm sure. They're in the back of Approved Document P (have a mooch around http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/eng...00001253.html). -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?" |
