EIC "...recommend that this installation is further inspected and tested..."

psychicwarrior
Given that [at least for me] 'this installation' is referring to the work detailed in the extent of the EIC and not the installation as a whole, the wording should be improved by including reference to the extent ?


That is unless the above understanding is incorrect ? In which case oops !


Minor issue I know in the grand scheme, but just thinking it might be clearer to the recipient (assuming they do read it).

    I agree it's confusing (or possibly just confused). Sometimes BS 7671 uses "installation" to mean what's just been installed, other times the complete installation. It's almost as if the wording hailed from an era when nothing when all installations were completely new....


    For things like a label attached near the origin (as per 514.12.1), the reader isn't likely to be aware of the history of various additions and alteration, so can only really assume 'installation' means the complete installation, so I reckon we need to be careful what we write on that to ensure it's not misleading (i.e. ensure it reads the earliest date overall).


    On an EIC, where the part of the installation to which it refers is defined - a date appropriate for only that piece of work alone is more likely appropriate.
