without going out to look, I believe it is 1662.Why use 3 items of test equipment when one of those listed is all that that you needed to use? What is the make and model of your multifunction tester?

That tester is all you need, not a multimeter and socket tester for fault finding.without going out to look, I believe it is 1662.
OK I'll aske the question more directly, !are you registered with the NICEIC?"You mean you are a member of a CPScheme as you say you had a NICEIC Assessor look at your work?
Because it is safer to assume the ring is broken and downgrade. It's rare that someone needs 32 amps anymore.
OK I'll aske the question more directly, !have you sent money to the NICEIC?"
yes, if I do work on an existing circuit, which requires minor works or domestic installation certificate, I will usually (not always) assume the ring is broken and downgrade. If I come to a kitchen circuit, I might do it differently and keep the 32 if the ring is continuous. But this generally speaking, not a hard and fast rule.Hang on you mentioned existing circuits. Not new ones.
Why is it funny? Why wouldn't you do it?lmao.... Thanks mate.. that it the best I've heard in a bit... Even had tears in my eyes...
Same thing Dillb isn't it?Corrected that for you Pete
Why is it ridiculous? How is safer not to assume a broken ring?What a ridiculous statement. You sure this aint a wind up?
So you could actually be charging your customers unecessary money for materials npt needed? Rather that. Carrying a few simple tests to prove everything is fine?yes, if I do work on an existing circuit, which requires minor works or domestic installation certificate, I will usually (not always) assume the ring is broken and downgrade.

Because you have to issue a relavant cert and carry put testing anyway which shows everthing is good for comtimued use?Why is it ridiculous? How is safer not to assume a broken ring?
Whats a "domestic installation certificate"?
The best way, would be to test it properly rather make a dumb assumption.Why is it ridiculous? How is safer not to assume a broken ring?

I'm out!
Its all good, its the 21st Century and we are glad you feel you be be so open and honest with us all. I hope your family are as supportive of this too.I'm out!
Well I was just wondering Spoon, if Grant has, either given Money to the NICEIC (Thanks for that Dillb) or he is registered, begs some questions how on Earth (judging by some of Grants statement) was this acheived? and was the assessment carried out in the Assessors Vehicle.Maybe the NICEIC have designed themselves a new cert...
