[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 79971, member: 250"] You electrician... CAN issue a 17th edition certificate without yet completing a 17th edition course. Tell him to buy some 17th ed certificate pads and copy the information out for you. The bigger question may be.. what standard did he actually do the work to? 16th or 17th? Key differences being the amount of RCD protection and/or supplementary bonding? If it was completed June/July 08 it could still legitimately be finished off to the older 16th edition, as 17th edition didn't apply till Jan 2008, but there was a 'grace' changeover period for existing contracted works to be completed... It is possible your council guy may be talking out of his bottom!? ALthough... you 'electricain' is a bit lax leaving it that long before completing cert.... Is your electrician a member of one of the approved schemes for part P approval? e.g. ELECSA, NAPIT, NICEIC, BSI, ECA etc..? it may be that your council don't like his certificate cuz it has no 'approved body' membership logo / serial No on it? :| Dunno if thats any help... p.s. Welcome to the forum Sue. Guiness Drink or maybe :Y Blushing:D [/QUOTE]
