[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 322921, member: 250"] 1/ Welcome to the forum.. 2/ I DO hope your college has been getting you reading and learning BS7671 and not just wiring a few simple circuits up??? Because the answer to your question about issuing certificates for work done is in black and white... If you go and read regulation 134.2.... and chapter 63... This was also in the old red book.. and before they they changed the regs numbers around it was chapter 74 in the book before that... and also chapter 74 thew one before that... etc... I think you get the gist??? It is NOT hard to work out what paperwork you are expected to issue if you are working to BS7671... ANY PERSON WHO DOES NOT ISSUE APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATION FOR THEIR WORK IS EITHER.. (a) DIY working in their own home or (b) a COWBOY if charging people for their work! simples! All competent electricians will issue appropriate certification AND carry suitable insurance.. Because for one thing... should the smelly stuff hit the fan they will be wanting to prove that the installation was safe when they left it!!!! If you have never seen any leave paperwork them IMHO you have never seen a proper electrician! the qualifications you require for each scheme can be found either on their web pages OR by giving them a phone call! Hope that helps.. If you are NOT intending to add new circuits.. You may as well get a job stacking shelves in Tescos... Not much point trying to learn how to be an electrician? Guinness p.s. Congratulations on passing your level2!!! Guinness [/QUOTE]
