Hi again
Getting certs together for my first Elecsa assesment.
My project was a CU change at my brother's flat. Notified building control as advised and completed, tested, energised and filled out the certs. All good.
Building control came and inspected the work and advised on some further work to be done, which included making good the stud wall behind the cu to improve fire barrier, (he felt the existing hole the cables were fed through the wall was too big and would allow spread of fire), I also needed to extend the conductors within the cu as he felt they could be easily placed under strain if someone was adding additional circuits and breakers, also wasn't happy with the route of the new earthing conductor (with the angle it entered the header unit).
Anyway cutting a long and tedious story short, I removed the cu and boarded behind, moved the cu 30cm to the left giving more length to the conductors (saved crimping them) and replaced the earthing conductor with a longer one allowing a better route. Re tested all circuits, and the ze.
Building control came and rechecked work and were happy with improvements.
Down to the question, do I have to issue a new installation cert for the rectification, or can I get away with a minor works, or can I just attatch the new schedule of test results to the existing cert?
I forgot to ask the building control spark.
Many thanks.
