[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 443002, member: 1607"] Just step back and keep it to the basics of what's needed. Remembering it will be the skilled person undertaking the inspection and testing who will fully understand what is needed. Although you will discuss with the client the extent and limitations relating to their installation. The client will be the unskilled person lacking the level of expertise to fully understand what is essential to evaluate the condition of the installation and what is the appropriate way to report any test results. First point is to establish if the installation in question is excluded from the scope of BS7671, See list in regulation 110.2. Then identifying what the circuit composition is, how they are fed from distribution boards, what methods of overload and shock protection are used, what the supply characteristics, including earth arrangements, to the distribution board are. As long as you can identify all of those then it should be quite straight forward to decide what tests are needed and what the expected results should be. If someone is not competent enough to identify if an installation is within BS7671 scope or what the installation consists of, or they allow a customer to confuse them about what is needed, then they are probably not sufficiently skilled to do a full inspection and test unsupervised at this stage..
