Issuing certificates

[glasgospark]

What's your thoughts on issuing certificates to either clients or other Starks to sign off work , and when doing what cert ?

Certs ts as normal ? Minor works if not new circuit etc , or always Eicr

 

[overskilled]

Depends on the job really -minor stuff like replacing a few faceplates - I'll test it for continuity etc but no real need for a cert unless anything crops up
additions to a circuit - new socket, new switch etc MWC
anything more involved...EICR

I applaud you for answering that, I cannot make head or tail of what he is going on about???????

Thank god for that MDJ, I've read it twice and thought it was some form of code.

 

[ipf]

Aye, a bit of dialect involved, maybe ?

 

[Andy78]

I agree, I can't make any sense of what is being asked really, but do get a general sense that the OP doesn't know which certs are for which purpose.

I get a general sense of loss, perhaps a smidgin of anger??

Or maybe, what is legal

hollands finest actually

Surely it is down to LABC to determine what cert is needed to comply with being "signed off"

As for doing it years later on other peoples work, then you are opening yourself upto a minefield.

Jails, jail but its your choice!!

care to elaborate

Erm negligance, who certified it? Glasogospark did. So why did the house burn down due to poor connections/ why weren't cables run in safe zone, etc

But as I say its your call.

 

[telectrix]

if you are going to certify work that has been done by other sparks/builders/kitchen butchers etc. then the only cert. you can do is a EICR. say, for example you were a MOT garage. would you issue a MOT for a car if the owner said someone else had fixed it|? no. you'd do your own MOT.

Cricky tel you can understand the OP as well then :sifone:

 

[kingeri]

I still maintain that an EICR is not a cert.......it's a report! We aren't certifying anything when we do one, we are merely reporting on what is already there.

yes but unlike yourself i wouldnt carry out an inspection and overlook such faults/problems as i am competent , obviously you dont deem yourself competent as you cant even fully inspect works that require a minor works cert never mind a full EICR

 

[glasgospark]

P.S

cables run in safe zones - on a finished job i would note as limitation

Insults because I couldn't understand your illegible ramblings ? Not my fault you are challenged in the educational ways pal.

And as for your question (now better explained) as to which certs you should use when signing off someones else's work, the answer is .... none, because you shouldn't be doing it unless you are a cowboy or a downright idiot.

He deciphered it....... much as I did, I'm proud to say.

 

[Zebra Stripe]

Its an inigma

 

[Andy78]

dont agree

Then plod on cos it's your signature/arse on the line, but it's shady practice in my book. I just hope you really really trust the installers you are providing certs for.
