Discuss am I certified to Sign off fuse board? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Not being funny, but I wouldn't call it a fuse board, as it doesn't contain any fuses.Am I certified to sign off/do certs for a fuse board if I've completed my Level 2 and level 3 city and guilds (2365) electrical installation?
(have not done the regs yet or testing & inspection or the NVQ)
Indeed. Who knows?We are assuming this falls under Part P.
Irrespective of that, (which is why I separated my response into the two parts), you would still have to demonstrate you are competent in all respects, at least to yourself, and ultimately to a court in the event something happens down the line.We are assuming this falls under Part P.
Or come under a 'like for like' replacementIndeed. Who knows?
It might be an actual fuse board in a factory for all we know!
Guess we will all wait in suspense for the op to updateOr come under a 'like for like' replacement
If it your own house then I would just do it
If it is for a paying customer then you will need a Scam to sign it off so probably more agro than its worth for you to bother doing the board
Even replacements must meet regulations. A replacement consumer unit is notifiable, there’s no “like for like” get out clause.Or come under a 'like for like' replacement
Would changing an MCB for a RCBO be notifiable ?Even replacements must meet regulations. A replacement consumer unit is notifiable, there’s no “like for like” get out clause.
Not for a change of an item. But the change still needs certifying. MEIC for that.Would changing an MCB for a RCBO be notifiable ?
So basically anyone could change out the mcbs for rcbos no qualifications or notifications needed, fill out a minor work's job done.Not for a change of an item. But the change still needs certifying. MEIC for that.
Not anyone, I would say that anyone who makes any change inside a CU must be competent.So basically anyone could change out the mcbs for rcbos no qualifications or notifications needed, fill out a minor work's job done.
That is totally, and by definition, a change of the consumer unit. Full EIC and notification required.What about just changing the enclosure, from plastic to metal, leaving the rest as is ?
Am not saying i agree with this just stirring up a debateNot anyone, I would say that anyone who makes any change inside a CU must be competent.
and you missed out a very important activity: TESTING! So, you'd need the appropriate set of calibrated
test equipment.
You know, minor things like, does the RCBO function properly, inside the trip times, stuff like that..
