ive installed a new shower circuit, so i do a full sequence of tests for the new circuit and put them on a electrical installation certificate.........


Q1. do i fill in the inspection sheets as i would if it was an initial verification, also completing the particulars at the origin,and also doing all ze, pfc tests, continuity of main bonding conductors ect....

Q2. the consumer unit has a 100a main switch, a 63a main rcd and another 63a rcd, the shower is on a 50a breaker, so do i need to carry out an rcd test on the shower even tho its not directly connected to an rcd:confused:
any advice muchos gracias

an electrical installation certificate is required for a new installation, an addition, or an alteration. as your installation work constitues an addition it clearly needs a full electrical installation certificate.
 
with regard to your shower, it MUST have an rcd or rcbo giving additional protection. the rcd already fitted has only got to be tested on any one circuit as the results will apply equally to all the circuits protectd by the rcd
