Rcd test on sub main

[swaley]

Hey guys do i need to do a full schedule of tests after installing a supply to garage with additional board.
Or do I only issue test results for the individual circuit i.e Garage.
I realise I would need a 2nd schedule of tests for the 2nd DB.

Also my 2nd DB has no RCD. So I presume I only document RCD when testing main DB on first schedule of results?? And not on 2nd DB in Results??

Hope this sounds clear??

Schedule 1 needs to show the new sub main - where the existing board has circuits installed I state “used” and if they aren’t I use “spare”

Then as you say a full schedule for the garage dB

Regarding the red tests, I am assuming your sub main is coming off a dual red board.

And remember, the description of work on the first page is so important to clarify the scope of your works and changes

Yes first board is dual RCD

how or what cable is it to the s/board ?

Yes first board is dual RCD

So yes, rcd results on the first schedule, but no harm adding them on the 2nd schedule too

6mm SWA exported TNS. 2 way board

Would I need to document only the new circuit on first schedule of tests or the entire boards circuits? I.e existing cooker, shower etc... got my assesment on Friday flapping

Being that this is a domestic job what type of electrical certificate are you going to use?

EIC. I'm clear on 2nd schedule with 2nd board. But the first schedule not sure if I would need to document the whole board. My first thought would be only add the circuit I installed. Just need someone to clear it up

Any certificate encompasses only what is written in the "Extent of installation covered by the certificate" section.
Only the work you have done needs to be on the certificate.

murdoch's post #2 is your answer.

I didnt understand some of what he said regarding used or spare. So I appreciate he may have answered thanks

As far as the SWA supply is concerned I'd just put the circuit number that it's fed from in the house DB on the schedule of test results. [And obviously make sure the circuit is labelled accordingly]

E.G - the fuseboard you are adding to has 6 existing circuit breakers and 4 spares...

Your EIC will show 6 as "used", 1 with full details as you installed it, and 3 as "spare"

Hope this makes sense

Have you asked your scheme's technical line?
