Signing Off For Building Control

[Ash]

So I get to a client's house to do an EICR to then have him tell me about building control not allowing the certificate issued by the previous polish electrician to be used because the registration number he provided did not match any part p bodies.

He presented me with the certificate

He has used a number, but I can't tell if it's NICEIC, Elecsa etc.

Here's the game

Who can find the most errors wins

The guy obviously does not have a clue about electrics. I will leave others to spot the faults although it amuses me he has a 20mm earth and a 2 wire TNS supply.

I think you should blank out the customers details. Leave in the 'electricians' though.

how about a 252 pole main switch? :slap

I can't see the test results for the RCD's

10mA RCD for the first bank of circuits?

Slight lack of ANY R1, R2 or continuity measurements.

EDIT

Oh hang on, the "maximum permitted Zs" column IS his 'test results' 

Oh deary me.  3 ring finals all with identical readings, how likely is that? A work of fiction I fear.

 

[Blue Duck]

Can you even get a 100a type b 60898 mcb? Lololol

Just spotted a tns with earth rod, as for the 20mm maybe he measured the rod.?

 

[poni]

what would you have on the windows circuit?

is the ZS on the 2nd foor lights a bit low?

 

[betty swollocks]

I think the 252 pole isolator referred to how many of his polish friends helped him fill the cert out. A tn-s with an earth electrode resistance of 11 which next page is n/a, I can't say the guy is a poor electrician but I can say he doesn't know how to fill in a certificate, but at least he made an attempt......

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

It looks like he has used Easycert. His registration number is too short for NICEIC. I have spotted quite a few more 'mistakes' he has made

 

[alpha spark]

Could nit pick it all night as there's more wrong than right

Nice to see at least he's put all sockets on 1 rcd and lights on other lol

 

[M107]

Oh dear....................working well isn't it this part P thing.

My favorite is section 5 Test instruments ......................chuffing superb he has correctly filled it in :slap , Oh maybe not Insulation resistance = None

 

[Sidewinder]

Appalling is all I am prepared to say!

But even the way he has filled in that is wrong. Only 1 way per rcd when it must be 2, so all the circuit numbers are out of sync.

The biggest mistake is in Section 4, Next inspection.  I reckon it should be daily  :slap

 

[M107]

My money is on the name used is made up....................bit like the rest of the cert

 

[Sharpend]

Here's the tragedy you could pass a copy of this onto any one of the registration bodies or other governing bodies and NONE of them would be interested in it.

Why? Could it be as someone posted before bs7671 is not recognised in British law?

 

[Ash]

Attempted to edit my post to blank out the customer, but I can't find where to do it

 

[M107]

They wouldn't be bothered with it because none of the scam operators has been named on the cert..........................apart from ECA in section 6?

 

[a3]

Please refrain from posting peoples names and address's on certificates - the post has been modified to blank out such details

Unless he falsely claimed to be a NICEIC member, THEN they would have him in court.

Not for doing dangerous work, or failing to test and document the results properly, but for copyright infringement. 

 

[Elmer BeFuddled]

I've got his number as I need an EICR doing. Do you think he'll sign the shower off at the same time?

Never a truer word spoken.
