Just trying to find out if there's any legal or general requirement to be qualified to carry out Emergency Lighting Tests? This is the same for Fire Alarm servicing, as both require certificates to be issued and signed, so if something was to go wrong and it ever went to court etc would they...

I have read that any electrical work undertaken in my house must be certified and that this certification would be needed when selling my house.
The thing is, when I bought the house there was no mention of any such...

Hi guys,
I'm a little confused as to how to go about providing certification for domestic.
I always though you HAD to be registered with one of these 3rd party bodies like the NIC. But i've recently learned that you don't neccessarily have to be? Is that really true?
Question 1:
So if I...

Never been the most intuitive piece of software to use.
I am trying to certify / notify a new build but the address isn't in their database as it hasn't been signed off yet. It hasn't been signed off yet because I haven't certified and notified. I am unable to certify or notify because the...
Hopefully I have put this in the right place.
Any advice or guidance on software for EICR and installations? Been using paper versions for years but I suppose I must move with times at some point!!
Most idiot proof is I suppose the top criteria
Thanks in advance

Don't know if I'm being over critical, with the onset of the 17th IET Regulations the term Competent Person (CP), has been dropped in favour of Skilled Person (SP), yet we still call the schemes NICEIC etc CP Schemes. Should it not be SP Schemes?
Guys/gals, in a domestic install of smoke/heat detectors, beyond issuing an EIC or Minor Works, do any of you also issue any other form of "fire alarm" certification? If yes, what do you issue?
Many thanks.

Wondered what your thoughts were, changing light fittings, plugging into existing 5A sockets. Not altered any fixed wiring. How much testing would you do? What certification? If you installed a TV and plugged in to a 13A socket would you certify?

Could someone who uses this software tell me what the Rated Time Delay box is for when filling out the Main switch/ Switch-Fuse/ Circuit-breaker/ RCD section of an EIC?
Is it for the recommend range in which a time delayed rcd should trip 130 - 500ms... or is it something else?
Hi, I am not an electrician and a bit of a novice on these matters, but I was hoping someone out there could help me. I had an electrician do a complete rewiring on a house last year, after the work I paid him in full, but he didnt issue a certificate for the work. I have since been on to him...
