Does this work need a certificate?

[allybally69]

Hi all,

I replace about 30 lights from 2D to led, I'm under this impression I don't need to issue a certificate for this as it's only maintenance, am I wrong because the company are now chasing for a certificate

Many thanks

Take a look at chapter 63. You can use a minor works for change of current using equipment. That’s assuming you’ve changed the light fittings.

Guidance suggests a minor works certificate may be issued ..

If the paying customer wants one, then do one

You are not wrong as it is like for like. However it is sage to at least offer a minor works and test Zs etc. I replaced 600 x 600 fluors for LED and found 89v on the earth just doing routine testing. Always wise to check imo.

Sage?

I was thinking it was a predictive text slip up ...

How was the existing circuit wired?

Sage?

I’ve met him, that’s how @Vortigern talks!

 

[The Ghost]

Also as in the "Great Sage" Vortigern for instance!

Did you test it at all? You should of done a minor works which requires some basic and fundamental testing.

I would issue a minor works certificate for each circuit worked on.

Wasn’t Sage an owl who kept flipping in his nest. Mates with a mad dog called Dill who kept running round in circles? Perhaps I’m just a silly old Hector ....sorry different show

......However it is sage to at least offer a minor works.....

Giving grossly underused words some airtime is good form in my book. I'm gonna slip the word 'sage' into a few conversations tomorrow and see if it raises an eyebrow or two.

That is indubitably a sagacious cogitation and congruently risible also.

To save anyone else having to use Google to translate... that roughly equates to 'it's a good idea whilst simultaneously being a laugh'... I think!

Note to self... sprinkle more pages of the Oxford English Dictionary on your cornflakes on the morrow

I usually head for the Urban Dictionary when I want to know exactly what a word means and how it can be deployed.

My favourite comes from Spock "What we require now is a feat of linguistic legerdemain and a degree of intrepidity." Which I think means something like : tell a whopper and bluff your way through

Indeed. Seeing as I've borrowed Parsley's pic, I should really have mentioned Sage the owl.

Surely, in this context, 'also' is superfluous?

 

[Richard Burns]

To abstain from superfluity may render one's discourse bland and barren, to add emphasis by lack of brevity may be preferred, but one would not wish to categorically state that your communique was without merit, as this may cause one to veer away from factual statement.

Alt: Yeah you are right, but it does add emphasis

surely you are well qualified to write the 19th ed. if you start now with a thesaurus of gobbledygook , you should have a draft ready in time for the release in 2021.

How was the existing circuit wired?

The reason I asked is that we did a job which involved the same sort of work did MW for the end of circuit and spreadsheet of R1 + R2 and loops for each of the branch off of a group of lights switched together per room.

How did the owl mate with the dog?

 

[Rpa07]

Carefully?

How did the owl mate with the dog?

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...
Sage, wise
Sage, a wise man
Sage, a popular online payment system/accounting package
I love the English language!
It's a bu**ger for foreigners to learn, though...

Incidentally, while many folks ridicule the use of Microsoft Publisher, it has many in-built Certificates...or just design your own!

Try "The Chaos" by Dr. Trenité. Warning: Frenchman said he preferred six months hard labour!
For example:
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
