What circuit to test?!

[Thomps]

Went to a mates new bungalow as he wanted me to cast an eye on his electrics to make sure all is ok, (didnt want a EICR). It is generally in a good condition, correct earthing, correct selection of MCBs, RCD etc but the lighting has no CPC. I explained the options but he wants me to re-wire them - no problems.

The question is when i come to test the circuit i will do a EIC but am i ok just to test the new cicruit or am i responsible for the whole installation?

I'm still learning the trade so just after the general practices others follow in this situation.

Cheers

You are only responsible for the circuits you install mate, and that the bonding etc is up to scratch.
I normally fill out all the circuits on the test results sheet and just put a line through the results for all the circuits I haven't worked on. Then state in the Box on the front what the EIC covers
e.g. New lighting circuit ONLY.
