[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 495166, member: 1408"] Yes someone has published that without knowing the full facts . Its a stupid statement , as we as sparks know, every time new Regs are issued , every building in the kingdom suddenly does not comply . Its stated clearly somewhere that that is NOT the case. I followed the course of this legislation since we decided to follow Scotland with it . When it was mooted that testing will NOT be undertaken by common or garden electricians but an ELITE SPECIALISED section would be created , I contacted two MPs and a Lord to explain that the property will have been WIRED ....tested and certified by one of these dumb common, useless electricians , BUT they won't be allowed to return in 5 yrs to do a EICR . I still await their replies . I raised it with ELECSA and the reply was ..." [I]An elite squad will NOT be created but I won't be able to do any tests because I've not been assessed for carrying out PIRs . Only Full Scope NICEIC members comply. " [/I] [/QUOTE]
