Yes, agreed. I suspect many aren't aware of the need for a high current test though.Yes but it can be hired for a relatively small cost.

I wouldn't strictly agree that that's true, although I suppose individual Area Engineers may have differing interpretations of the requirements. After all everyone takes things up differently.I was speaking to a friend of a friend today who is qualified to do NICEIC work. He was saying NICEIC actually go above and beyond the 18th edition wiring regulations at times and have stricter requirements. Anyone know if this sort of thing is indeed true? I thought the 18th edition regulations were the bible to base all current arguments on.
There's no such thing as being qualified to do NICEIC work.I was speaking to a friend of a friend today who is qualified to do NICEIC work.
The NICEIC don't go above and beyond the regulations, they assess contractors for their compliance with the regulations through annual assessment visits. They also check that contractors are insured, comply with health and safety law and certify jobs properly.He was saying NICEIC actually go above and beyond the 18th edition wiring regulations at times and have stricter requirements.

The 18th edition sets out the minimum requirements for electrical installations which, if followed, are viewed by the HSE as likely to fulfill the requirements of the law.I thought the 18th edition regulations were the bible to base all current arguments on.
It's not relevant what NIC expect, they're not an authority. All that matters is regulations and the installers interpretation of them. Either way, what the original spark has told you isn't true under any interpretation of any regulation. I'd suggest just binning him off and getting someone who knows what they're doing and isn't trying to make a fast buck out of you.I was speaking to a friend of a friend today who is qualified to do NICEIC work.
