Why not?there's no point in me producing an installation certificate ,
Calibrated?using a Fluke 1652B meter.
Why not?
Calibrated?
opinion based your your last post with regards to testing, calibration and general approach I (in my opinion ) would not class you as a general DIYer
I would however like to point out that should you have a problem with the installation or an unexplainable fire your home insurance will be void
Look mate, sorry to burst your bubble but 99% of DIY sparkies ain't got a scoobie what they're doing. Its as simple as that. Sure they may be able to follow a nice wiring diagram but they won't have a clue when it comes to testing, safe zones for a bathroom, cable calcs etc etc. So whilst you may be able to convince your missus that you are saving a few quid - you are mugging yourself off at the same time. If DIY electrics was such an easy thing then it wouldn't be banned in most countries. However enjoy your DIY electrics whilst you can, because it will be banned here soon as well. Part P - Do you know what this is by the way? Is the first step to stopping Mr DIYer.
Sorry mate, but amateur electrics kill.
Part P does not stop DIY are you sure you know?, it simply ensures it is tested by a competent person.
I am a qualified lift engineer with Level 4 qualifications in electrical engineering and electrical/mechanical testing in the lift industry, I am competent in installing/testing and fault finding on electrical equipment single phase and three phase. However, I am not authorised to test domestic wiring as I have not completed the very narrow criteria to satisfy CPS . I would use these forums to get peoples advice on complying to the regs. I am more than competent to carry out the work in my home, then get a BC to sign it off.
Part-P does anything but ensure it is tested by a competent person actually.
Just a scenario, as i'm interested to hear your opinion....
Mr.Domestic-Electrician lives in rented accommodation in a block of flats, and these flats happen to have a lift in operation.
Now Mr.Landlord realises one of his tenants are an electrician, and asks him to look at the 'faulty' lift. Would you as a 'qualified lift engineer' be happy if Mr.Domestic-Electrician had a go at fixing the lift ?
