As a business we sub contract out the electrical installation of our systems to outside companies. As part of the project deliverables, we ask these companies to test the electrical installation and produce the required documentation (certificate of electrical installation).
We check the companies to make sure they have the correct qualifications and personnel and they are accredited to the required standards and controlling organisations.
Our business has the correct insurance and complies with the correct standards etc.
My question is this, do we as a business have to be accreditied to the same governing body as the installation company e.g. NIC/EIC to be able to sign off/check there work or are we covered?
I agree, ideally the electrical installation work should be signed off by the people designing and installing it, though it doesn't have to be those people who test it, which is why a installation certificate can have multiple signatories.
