NICEIC Certification Scheme Points served on an niceic certificate

[ThrownRazor25]

On the schedule of test results on niceic cerificate where it says points served.Does a double socket mean 1 point or 2?

1.

A point is where an accessory is connected. so it doesn't mater if single or double it's still only one point. Would you count a 2 gang switch as 2 points?

 

[Andy78]

What about a 24 gang grid with multiple circuits connected in it ? Is that whole grid one point per connected circuit, or just one point for one of the circuits, or the total number of grid switches per circuit, or..... ?

Tell us how many you think it is,

 

[Ian1981]

Does anyone put down number of points served 2 if a cooker control unit has a socket and supplies an outlet?
Might just be me

It may be on the form but BS 7671 doesn't state its needed.

Another reg made up by the NICEIC

I'll bet he wished he didn't ask now!

What can you do though?
They are very touchy if blank boxes are left on their certs.

Not use their certs.....

 

[Ian1981]

It's not my company so I use what I'm given by the boss.
It's not a hardship doing it

It is part of the information required by 514.9

Size and number of conductors, points served, type of wiring. That's why those items are inserted into most inspection schedules.

But no, I never list number of points personally.

Don't leave them blank then .... put a line through them

But strangely absent from the model form on page 434

Tut tut andy haha

Yes. I think the info in 514.9 is intended to be included in handover packs or permanent records in larger and more complex installations. The reg does say in simple installations in can be in the form of a schedule, a copy of which must be appended to the DB.

A switch isn't a point of utilisation.

With no reference to the sample form on page 434

Another senseless contribution from the IET...
