test sheets

[sid578]

hi.have started with a large firm who are members of select..the job varies from new installs to minor circuit alterations..the question i have is alot of sparks are doing work but no test sheet are being done,and the rest of us are doing them..when i asked the foreman i was told to mind my own buisness....i always thought test sheets where mandatory or am i mistaken

if by doing test sheets you mean filling in certificates in compliance with BS7671 of design similar to Appendix 6 then you would be right.

i have seen similar to this before at a large factory in birmingham where i delivered a regs course to their sparks. They all were under the impression their work did not need to be properly commissioned as it was in their controlled environment.

i no we dont have part p, but i was under the impression that every new/altered circuit needs a test certificate to comply.the work that i am doing is in private rented houses.
