303 Practical Exam

[Jimbo23]

I am completing my 303 practical exam tomorrow and wondered if anyone knew whether, on the certificate, I needed to complete the section recommending "next inspection date" or whether this was omitted. From what I understand the faults will be on more than one circuit and the inspection and testing not all of the circuits will have faults that require any changing of cable or accessories.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.

if its on your minor works, treat it as a new install. cross out months and bang 10 years in. if i remember correctly thats what i did on mine

Thanks for that. Just one more thing.......when I am doing my R1+R2 con checks how would I know which cable doesn't have continuity out of the line and earth or would I have to do a long-lead test?

long lead test straight from line of consumer unit to line on light etc

dont worry too much about the paperwork on the periodic. as long as you find the faults you should be ok

Or Jimbo, if you have no wander lead .... get the neutral involved to help identify if earth or line is non continuous .... R1-Rn, R2-Rn.

Best of luck.
