Did you supply / install the 50mm SWA? If your customer has now been told by your assessor that what you have done is wrong then it is not a suprising reaction but leaves you in a very awkward position. You may have to offer to pay for a third party to rectify the mistake (can a 16mm copper conductor be ran alongside?).

?????? pmsl, hello mcfly

Just applied for the NIC and will have my assessment within the next 4 weeks. The 3 jobs I have for him are pretty straight forward, Domestic EICR, 2 new circuits in a commercial unit and a domestic mains change with minor works. All compliant, however the response of the NIC to you is of interest.

Been a QS before so know what to expect.

Look forward to your response about what the NIC said.

i could never get access to the origin, turns out we could on my assessment and discovered the building sub main was off a PME 50mm SWA twin. thats the issue.
a big mistake for me as assumed i could limitate it on the EICR

 

[buzzlightyear]

You need to get a copy GN note 8 and start reading that
No wonder you assesser asked. For pics considered is a pme system Exporting a earth.

You could have made a Limit and sometimes that is the way of things but nevertheless I would have made an assumption of the adequacy of the armour to support main protective bonds.

I find with the NICEIC assessors they are not trying to trip you up and essentially look for reasons to pass you rather than fail! afterall they want your cash...
I was at an assessment at a previous firm i worked with, They were looking at a supply to the outbuilding with consumer unit and 2 radials. but they actually ended up demonstrating safe isolation, ring final end to ends and rcd checks in the house rather than any actual testing in the outbuilding! all very peculiar i thought. seemed more a case of go through the motions.

In this example Pete, seems to be the opposite to your viewpoint about said schemes.

How so Middy the NICEIC guy was anxious to pass the Electrician, who had obviously some problems with his testing techniques, he showed them how to do it and then took their cheque, thank you very much Sir, a pleasure doing business with you, don't hesitate to call us if you find yourself in trouble only to pleased to take your payment. You won't convince me otherwise Middy.

If it's an eicr why is it down to you to rectify?

 

[Dave OCD]

I think he meant EIC....

 

[johnduffell]

Ah well in that case no such thing as a limitation. And if he meant deviation then he has to be satisfied that it provides equivalent safety etc as a compliant installation.

 

[johnduffell]

Sorry meant to write departure, but it won't let me edit the post now!

 

[westward10]

If this is an EIC the tradegy if he chose two core because it was slightly cheaper than three core, ouch.

Try using the red one's they're stronger, or ask the guy outside the schoolyard for something to mix with your baccy.
