have i got correct testing forms

[i=p/u]

the house im working on at moment has had a conversion to attic, i had to change the board for extra ways..

do i use eic for new circuits and eicr for existing circuits or can i put on one eic and comment on what happened , i.e changed board for extra ways

 

[Guest55]

Just use the EIC , and put existing circuit details on the same schedule of test results.

well was old mem board and a 5A fuse became a 6A breaker.. 15A became a 16A

 

[Guest55]

so the only thing thats changed is the max Zs for each protective device.

EIC if you changed board surely?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^agree^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

but what about the old red and black cable and someone else's wire techniques

 

[Guest55]

there was no argument whether an EIC is needed , just if it requires an EICR as well.

Arent you giving it the big i am on another thread after passing your 2391 ?
What do YOU think lol ?

You change the board and those circuits are your responsibility and would have been tested by you. Any departures noted on the EIC

 

[Guest55]

Has the customer agreed to pay for an EICR ?
Or are you doing it for charity ? ;-)

 

[i=p/u]

charity case me, but i dont mind this one time.. so an eic for all circuits and few notes on departures about exisiting circuits passed all required testing but cables behind walls and in voids not been checked throughout runs..

You only state the works you have carried out, ie Board change and the circuits on your extra ways and then test the existing circuits, which you enter into the schedule of tests, to ensure your insulation resistance is ok along with the Zs values etc. You are not signing off other peoples works only what you have stated you have carried out.

Agree^^^^

Just use the "scope of certificate" to describe what you have done and what the EIC covers. From what you outline something along the lines of

"fuseboard change, installation of equipotential bonding to water and gas, new (socket) circuit for loft converversion and new lighting circuit for loft conversion."

aye sounds good to my ears murdoch
