My boss is nic registered and im the qualified supervisor, its just routine annual inspection but want to impress him not just plod through it

They seem quite interested in reference methods on Certs like lighting circuits that run through lofts, I have heard they sometimes ask if you have a torque screwdriver, make sure all your installs are labelled correctly and paperwork is spot on, otherwise tea and biscuits

They are generally not really interested in being impressed, because that should be the norm!, however if you remember some of the more obscure numbers or formulae to be able to quote this may help. (not too obscure because they will not ask that), but if you know the BS7671 value of max Zs for a 40A breaker it may come in handy, especially if you are doing a shower. I remember one inspector asked for the length of time records of notifiable work should be kept be the electrician and he was surprised that I knew it was three years.

Ben, calm down mate. You've passed, your boss's cheque has obviously cleared so you're in the clear.
Me? Cynical? Noooooo

Who is doing this inspection "Shania Twain" ? :smiley2:

What would be impressive is to try and fail
I would suggest you would fail to fail,now who was it mentioning Tea and Bisuits

Remember though, you don't have to know all the answers. You just have to know where to find them. Obviously knowing them will help but don't sweat it, you know your way around the regs.
