Your right got distracted and forgot to say in my post.There is a six month overlap where either Edition can be used.
I've had my 25 year for a while.....stopped with the breakfasts about 10 years back...still waiting for a bacon butty back off 'em….or any sort of concession off the 18th paperwork.I take my assessor for breakfast every year....A skim of the paperwork, a couple of tests and questions and he’s gone until the next year. I don’t really get nervous about it. I’ve just got my 10 year certificate and rosette from the NIC
Do they actually have the right to make you do the 3 day course ? Surely as long as you take the exam,pass and hold the qualification that's all that matters ?
I was subbing to a NICEIC registered company, doing period inspection and testing Council homes, when the NICEIC inspector pitched up on my site.
He examined my documents, including JIB card, 3 month old calibration certificate etc then asked for my monthly Check Box records.
I presented my current calibration certificate for the Check Box and explained that I carried regular tests against my tester but didn't record them.
He said it was a requirement so I gave him my Regs and a folder containing the EAWR and asked him to show me where it was required. He said it was an NICEIC requirement so I told him I didn't belong to the Club so their Regs didn't apply to me. He gave up and left.
No, but you are working for an NICEIC contractor and part of their rules is that ongoing acracy of test equipment. Who is to say that after a month it has gone out of calibration ongoing checks clarify this. You are already doing that why not keep a record all you would have to do is write it down in columns in a notepad takes minutes. It is partly the fault of the NICEIC companies PDH/Q.S. they should have checked this before you undertaking to test on their behalf. He will walk away and not get into a debate with you they won't. I bet it will be put down as a non-compliance with the rules on the assessment report.I was subbing to a NICEIC registered company, doing period inspection and testing Council homes, when the NICEIC inspector pitched up on my site.

You'd have a queue of unskilled DIY'ers, multi traders, best mates and dodgy landlords around the magistrates court.I long for the day when the Regs become statutory and the clubs rules go out the window and everyone is responsible to do their work in compliance with the law.

Still no idea how my Stroma inspection will go. My installation is OK according to experienced eyes but my testing is slow and interpreting the reg's take me some time.
I used to work with someone who had very little knowledge of electrics but was a proper creep around certain people, he went and worked for the NICEIC I dont know in what capacity but if he became a assesor its a very scary thought.Yes, you make a very valid and astute point. I was wondering myself what the qualifications would be, when applying for a job as an NICEIC engineer. How do they get recruited, I wonder...surely not from an agency. Hopefully, someone who works/worked/knows someone who works for NICEIC can come along and enlighten us?
