Why can't an EIC be issued? The model form for the EIC allows for seperate designer, installer and tester, you can complete the EIC as tester only with the customers details for designer and installer. What you can't do is notify it under your own scheme registration.
But you know that the customer will try to use the EICR I place of an EIC which is clearly wrong.
What would you put as the reason for carrying out the EICR? Or the estimated age of the installation? If you put the correct age of the installation it will be pretty obvious to anyone that something dodgy is going on.
Or two days later you get a phone call.The customer will likely end up doing nothing....
Or after some digging will likely find a sparks to give him his part pee for same cash in hand
Either way it’s no longer your issue , which is probably a good ting
Well done Sir

You can't sign for Inspection and Testing without having been involved with the job throughout. How could you possibly have inspected any concealed cables etc.?Hey guys
Spoke to napit today and they advised to contact building control to see if they would accept an EICR and then he would have to sort part p himself. I spoke to them and they wouldn’t accept this, so I now have to do an EIC and get the customer to sign the design and construction part and just carry out the inspection and testing. The customer will then have to go through building control himself to get his part p. Spoke to the customer and told him the situation and his response was straight away ‘oh just leave it, I will sort it myself’. May have had a lucky escape there.
Good point. Would you not be able to highlight what can’t be inspected in the limitations section to cover your a**eYou can't sign for Inspection and Testing without having been involved with the job throughout. How could you possibly have inspected any concealed cables etc.?
Stroma allow you to add 3rd party notification to your registration (it’s not automatic) and you have to be quite involved in the job from the start. Their website states the following:There is a 3rd party certification scheme run by Napit and Stroma (I think).
From what I understand, you have to be registered with them to conduct 3rd party notifications, and the ‘certificate’ issued is some kind of EICR.
If the customer has been doing their wiring. I would be respectful and decline, once you start wiring or changing anything you own it then. Good luck and some jobs you just have to walk away no money is worth your reputationHow are the Napit/Stroma 3rd Party certifiers covered, if they’re only testing and notifying the work without seeing how it was installed? Do Napit/Stroma exempt their 3rd party notifier contractors from any prosecution etc?
I think you will find it was Burt Bacharach and Hal DavisIn the words of the stranglers walk on by.
It'll be more trouble than its worth
