Hi Guys & Gals,
Its been a long time since I've posted a new thread but I heard something the other day and just felt I needed to ask this question.
For those of you that work on heavy commercial and/or industrial, either as a maintenance spark or sub contractor, do you inspect, test and certify your installs?
The reason I ask is because a well known manufacturing plant I have dealings with said they don't test any of their installs because someone comes in once a year to do an EICR!? Now I was speaking with one of my colleagues about this and I said any electrical work should be tested and certified. He said that's not how it works in industrial because it doesn't need notifying!?
Now I put him straight on the in's and out's of certifying and notifying (I didn't quote any regs, I just hit him with the BYB.lol). I wanted to see what other peoples take on this is?
Cheers
Jay
