[Spazz]

download it from Planning Portal - Approved documents

Its free to download!

 

[Rauer]

Have seen it on amazon and I know you can download it , just on an email from them it says I get it in my pack- what ever this pack thing is!!!

 

[Spazz]

NAPIT said I had to have it prior to my assessment

 

[Rauer]

I'm just getting up to date books for the assessment so I gather all I need is bgb and the osg as I can download hs25 , do I need guidance note3, I have heard elecsa like members to have "electricians guide to building regs" is that right?

 

[brucelee]

think they sent me a copy in my assessment pack
But i also have it on the laptop jsut have the laptop document open and show him that or print it yourself if you have a printer

dont need GN3 unless you going for the PIR assessment as well
the elecys guide to building regs is required well its stated as required but wether they pull you on it dont know but you will get questions on it so good to have

 

[Sparky Ninja]

If I were you I would download them all and become familiar with them. It can only make you better at your job.

I was told by a former NIC inspector that it's perfectly ok to have a digital of Doc P.

Yeah I got that, just so far I've got bgb osg for 65 quid deliverd so 50 quid for gn3 is a tad expensive lol

Maybe as the NIC seem to think they make up the rules, BUT the Elecsa Assessor will expect you to have a copy printed out for your first assessment and every subsequent year too.

[Rauer]

Brilliant , thanks for the help guys

 

[Johnny-G]

You won't be asked to see a copy or even if you own a copy of GN3 on your assessment as it's not a requirement.
That's not to say you shouldn't have one though, it's a gripping read.

 

[Johnny-G]

You don't need the guide to the Building Regs either.

 

[ruston]

Yeah the next episode will be along soon . :cry_smile:

 

[Rauer]

Next episode of?????? I know the eighteenth is coming!

 

[ruston]

The rate they keep changing them you will need deep pockets is what I meant.

 

[Guitarist]

You will get a pack containing a printout of part P, along with various other documents required which you can alter with your company name.

 

[Rauer]

I've had a copy of some certificates etc . But no document p yet, you think it's worth giving them a bell ? My assessment is on the 28th

No harm in ringing them. What has impressed me about Elecsa is that they are always willing to help and advise.

 

[Octopus]

Why don't you download it and print it. That's what I did.

To be honest I chose them after speaking to all the schemes elecsa seemed the most friendly , willing to help , and not try to sell me crap I don't need like pir assessment! They talked me out of it! And alot of top sparks I know are with them!

 

[Rauer]

Why don't you download it and print it. That's what I did.

Probably will for the mean time !

 

[StuSpiers]

The one I received from elecsa is just a badly photocopied one with a wonky staple.

I downloaded printed in colour and placed into it's own wallet.

 

[Rauer]

Ye one I found has online copy watermarked all over it , anyone found one without it?

 

[StuSpiers]

That will be acceptable - they will probably give you 'brownie' points for sourcing it yourself.

As long as you have a copy, either paper or on your PC, I don't think they really care.

My elecsa assessor likes to see a "hard" copy.

Quite agree mate. NICEIC didn't even return my first email, so that didn't bode well.
What really, really impresses me about Elecsa is the technical help if and when you need it... quick phone call to helpdesk, they put you straight through to one of their electricians and you can chat about anything you need clarifying.

Don't blame him. Bloody computers get everywhere.

 

[topquark]

My elecsa assessor likes to see a "hard" copy.

If he asks me for one, I'll print him one off

 

[DurhamSparky]

Well I was on the phone to nic for 5 napit for about 10 and elecsa for 45!!! Speaking to the technical department!! As you say they will talk to you about anything do you think they would be able to advise me on what sauce goes best on a sausage sarnie? Personally I like red !!!

 

[trev]

do you think they would be able to advise me on what sauce goes best on a sausage sarnie? Personally I like red !!!

Philistine! Everyone knows the correct answer is brown, specifically Hammonds Chop Sauce.

 

[Rauer]

Now I'm not really a brown lover..... But I don't hate it , if someone puts it on my sarnie I won't lie to you I'll be a bit disappointed but I will still eat it! And come on everyone dont be shy with the amount you put on!

 

[Guitarist]

Always mix brown and red... sweet and spicy all at once
