I think it is they cannot use NECIC forms . I think they can still do EICR's if they are competent to do so.I thought I read on here that DI’s under the NICEIC scheme aren’t ‘allowed to do EICR’s? We dont have DI’s up here!
The domestic installer Scheme will only assess for, and give backing for, domestic installations and their initial verification.I thought I read on here that DI’s under the NICEIC scheme aren’t ‘allowed to do EICR’s? We dont have DI’s up here!
Quite a few clients we work for are now insisting on proof of qualifications and in particular the initial verification qualification for installation works that is inspected and tested and an EIC given( the testing must be done by someone with this qualification) and for EICR’s proof of a qualification such as the periodic inspection and testing one.
We did an army barracks last year and there was only myself and one other lad from our company allowed to test and complete the EIC.
Basically it’s becoming no testing qualifications then no work.
Welcome to the forum mate.
Appendix 6 of the regs just state the below:
The Electrical Installation Certificate required by Part 6 should be made out and signed or otherwise authenticated by a skilled person or persons in respect of the design, construction, inspection and testing of the work.
I don't think there is any 'legal' requirements.
Skilled person (electrically). Person who possesses, as appropriate to the nature of the electrical work to be undertaken, adequate education, training and practical skills, and who is able to perceive risks and avoid hazards which electricity can create.
NOTE 1: The term "(electrically)" is assumed to be present where the term 'skilled person' is used throughout BS 7671.
NOTE 2: Regulation 16 of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires persons to be competent to prevent danger and injury. The HSE publication HSR25 provides guidance on this.
