Discuss Amendment 3 Electrical Installation Certificate in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
When to fill out an NICEIC today, and let’s say, it’s interesting?
...........impressions!
I don't use nic forms as a lot on here don't.
You'll have to enlighten us.
Then I'd like to see Wirepuller's Tommy Cooper.
According to the new EIC certificate (and the NICEIC), you have to basically carry out an EICR on the building to allow you to tick ‘yes’ or ‘N/A’ to the boxes! So after you have installed your socket, you’re now running round to check that there are duel supply warning notices for generator/solar PV, and that every RCD operates!
Ah, but this only relates to the circuit you have installed..........well you’d be wrong! It relates to the entire building!
Maybe I should elaborate my last statement!
We currently use the NICEIC online certification service (not my choice), and are now using the amendment 3 version of the Electrical Installation Certificate. In a nut shell, a large portion of the tick box section of the Electrical Installation Condition Report, has been ‘cut-n-pasted’ (the NICEIC words not mine) and now appears in the amended EIC certificate.
Example; You install a new double socket on a radial circuit below an existing DB. According to the new EIC certificate (and the NICEIC), you have to basically carry out an EICR on the building to allow you to tick ‘yes’ or ‘N/A’ to the boxes!

Ah, but this only relates to the circuit you have installed..........well you’d be wrong! It relates to the entire building! In a house this maybe wouldn’t pose much of a problem, but when it’s in a large commercial/industrial building 3 hours to the job, one week to gather all the information to complete the tick boxes (from the mouth of the NICEIC)!
Happy form filling!

Oh,and I bought some HP sauce the other day. It's costing me 6p a month for the next 2 years.
