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).

     The problem comes with the sticky label to indicate the date of inspection and the date of the next inspection. I would recommend to write in long hand on the label "shower circuit only" or whatever works you have done.

    ...




    I have a view on that 'sticky label', in that other than after a full rewire or new installation, that label should only be 'updated' following a the periodic inspection that it indicated (or perhaps if one is held earlier for some reason).  EIC's issued for other things not those above, do not require amending the label... that way nothing gets out of kilter with the periodic inspection process (which that sticky label is all about really); carrying out some EIC work does not change that process.


     



     

    Agree the label does not really have "dual" application, though I understand some badge of protection operators want to see a new sticky label after an EIC is issued. That is a recipe for confusion and seems to lead to a perception by some that the electrician is taking responsibility for the whole installation, so should be avoided. So for me the application of a label  is for a whole new installation or for a Periodic only. The label does state " and a Report issued". That is a bit of a give away.


    So if there is already an existing label, stick with those dates.  However, in the real world, there will be no existing label or a label from decades ago.


    If Akela threatens to remove your badge, by all means bung a new label on there , but in date of last inspection of the label write "unknown" and date of next inspection ="over due"
