hi all, currently doing an office refurb and are ready to reinstate switch drops that were removed to allow walls to be taken down. The wiring is all T&E into klik plug in boxes above the ceiling. Currently having a discussion on site with another electrician about how we go about doing our testing. I do have my 2391 so have no issues with the actual test procedures just how far to go with it as peoples opinions seem to differ.
Obviously its a minor works but in some cases we havnt installed any additional wiring. Literally just removing the cable into ceiling void and making safe before dropping down new wall to switch position. Other areas require a new feed and switch wire from the local klik box to new switch position. In the past a company i used to work for would limit both the IR and R1+R2 test to the new cable only and make a comment on this in the appropriate box on the minor works sheet. We would ensure that a Zs reading was taken at the point of connection, in this case that being the local klik box. What are peoples thoughts on this as the electrician i am currently working with disagrees.
