[Rauer]

Have seen it on amazon and I know you can download it , just on an email from them it says I get it in my pack- what ever this pack thing is!!!

NAPIT said I had to have it prior to my assessment

 

[Rauer]

I'm just getting up to date books for the assessment so I gather all I need is bgb and the osg as I can download hs25 , do I need guidance note3, I have heard elecsa like members to have "electricians guide to building regs" is that right?

 

[brucelee]

think they sent me a copy in my assessment pack
But i also have it on the laptop jsut have the laptop document open and show him that or print it yourself if you have a printer

dont need GN3 unless you going for the PIR assessment as well
the elecys guide to building regs is required well its stated as required but wether they pull you on it dont know but you will get questions on it so good to have

If I were you I would download them all and become familiar with them. It can only make you better at your job.

Maybe as the NIC seem to think they make up the rules, BUT the Elecsa Assessor will expect you to have a copy printed out for your first assessment and every subsequent year too.

Brilliant , thanks for the help guys

 

[Johnny-G]

You won't be asked to see a copy or even if you own a copy of GN3 on your assessment as it's not a requirement.
That's not to say you shouldn't have one though, it's a gripping read.

 

[Johnny-G]

You don't need the guide to the Building Regs either.
