As long as you don't get Keith from ktec.
He'll show you how to do an outside socket.

You must have done he is infamous for weeding out the deadwood.

Sorry, not with you there ?

I know - worrier at heart though, always have been. Getting the NICEIC accreditation means so Much to me though. It'll feel like "I've made it"

Some day I'll make it as an NICEIC Approved electrician...


When I save up enough.

Nah Jobsworth Arses like that won't accept anything as they like to keep a 'professional distance'.

Just haven't bribed them enough. Sarnie and a coffee?

With sugar to keep them extra sweet

Had my 2nd assessment yesterday, couple of non compliances but my assessor is a dream so worked through them, have a cert to send over within 30 days and some pics, don't think they come much better than her.

don't think they come much better than her.

[DPG]

[Dave OCD]

You know I'm not sure I should have said that.

I only received one technical non conformance but it was out of my hands. The house is empty and has previously installed some new sockets in the living room. All my tests were spot on at the time and obtained similar continuity tests on the L-L and N-N. however, it was clear the plasterer had been in since I was there as I pulled the sockets off and behind them were covered in dry plaster. First job to show the assessor and could have died. Assured him that this wasn't the case previously with the readings but he still had to note it as a technical non conformance. He said that there's probably a chance that moisture had gotten in or they had pulled forward sockets elsewhere in the house. Not good - was on edge as it was. L-L was 0.89 and N-N was 0.45 which was incorrect from last time

I'd not worry too much about the variation in readings. I think the assessor is more looking for you to be able to explain and show an understanding of why the test results vary. In any event so long as you your continuity and external loop impedance results all add up to being within the required limits and you can explain all this there's not much they can argue.

Presumably you had to show poly phase stuff too? Always used to be a requirement?

Well done by the way! The delay will just be the office checking through the paperwork. Subsequent assessments are now emailed to you there and then. At least mine are.

Haha I thought that after I posted!
