What test equipment do you use?I have been asked to get my attic conversion electric tested as a pat tester am I allowed to test and sign off.?
OP is in Scotland. no part pee, but building control can tell him what they want. think they issue a building warrant up there.Anyone can carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report provided that they are competent to do so. Having done, presumably, a one day course on PATesting does not necessarily mean you are competent to do an EICR.
Ideally you want the electrical contractor (assuming they are registered with one of the schemes) who carried out the work on the attic to provide an Electrical Installation Certificate. This is what Building Control require.
A third party is only able to provide a report (EICR), which has certain exclusions which building control may or may not accept.
Signing off a new or existing electrical installation requires an indepth understanding in electrical installation, the testing equipment you use and crucially how to interpret the results that are shown, now this is no discredit to you but the fact you are asking the question is usually a telling sign you would not be competent to sign off the work.I have been asked to get my attic conversion electric tested as a pat tester am I allowed to test and sign off.?
