Well, it is an initial verification (hence the Electrical Installation Certificate). BUT the certified work relates ONLY to the replacement of the distribution board (which will be clear in the extent of the installation work undertaken box), and essentially the tests carried out following the inspection are simply to ascertain that the existing circuits are safe to put back into service on the new distribution board. You are not taking ownership of the existing installation. After all you cannot verify the route the wiring takes or any number of other things about the prior installation methods.This is not an Initial Verification and tests can be carried out as if it was a Periodic Inspection in which case it is perfectly acceptable to use the EFLI test as proof for earth continuity.
Earth continuity has been verified with a Zs test. So why are you filling in a box stating R1+R2? You haven't done this test (which is not a criticism) - but why are you filling the box out? That is misleading and serves no purpose.Has been tested by way of EFLI.
I don't recall stating which boxes I fill in, I just agreed that Zs-Ze=R1+R2.Earth continuity has been verified with a Zs test. So why are you filling in a box stating R1+R2? You haven't done this test (which is not a criticism) - but why are you filling the box out? That is misleading and serves no purpose.
