agreed. you should have seen the one i saw last week. posted a thread on it. diabolical is too tame a word.
There is a thread running about visual inspections endorsed by the Nic
These are being issued and mis-used as the latest con trick in the inspection and test industry with the backing of the schemes
We know as electricians what is an acceptable Pir and what it should entail regard the person doing the work
The industry as a whole accepts most if not all of our veiws
The problem is percieved importance of that Pir
It is a requirement only if the recipient sees it as a way of demonstrating duty of care, or is obliged to do so by others,insurance etc
Those who require the Pir will almost unanimously see the cheapest accepted option as the best,whatever that may be
The powers that be whether government or industry know the score, but there is no gain for them in changing the present structure
They may pay lip service to improvement or enforcement but it aint gonna happen soon,if ever
Its a system that encourages a free for all and likely suits society as it is
