Board change

No. Initial verification has been and gone. The fixed wiring [ the final circuits, the existing ones ] were installed and certified before you were there....at initial verification of the , then , new installation.

Humm, not quite. The previous initial verification didn't include your new work did it? And that's the bit you're issuing the certificate to cover. Certificates can't cover existing parts of installations - there are EICRs (reports, not certificates) for that.

Yes, you have to do some verification when re-energising the circuits by virtue of DB replacement. But enough to demonstrate that things are no less safe than when you started.

You should be able to show that your new work complies entirely with current standards - and that the existing installation, where non compliant, is no less safe that it was before. You can't really skimp on the I&T of your new work.

Good grief, the new work is the DB change. The final circuits are not new.

​​​​​​Do the applicable parts of the inspection schedule appropriate to the changing of db.
