Inspection & Testing

Derek Eccles

I am a project manager, constructing new waste water treatment works, for a water company. The contractor building the new works has provided a program which has 4 months between  part 1 (dead testing) and part 2 (live testing) of the NICIEC certification. In between these dates, the contractor will test and commission of the plant and equipment e.g. pumps, actuated valves, instrumentation, screens etc.

Would it be correct to say, this does not comply with the wiring regulations ?

    Hi Derek

    The description is most helpful. I suggest that the BS7671 installation be inspected, tested and a BS7671 certificate issued. At a later date, everything from the controls panel intakes onward be tested and inspected by the commissioning Engineer, and again a test and inspection certificate be issued, although it may not exactly match the BS7671 one. You will then have documentation for everything, and there will be a clear division of responsibility. All that should be simple enough for everyone. If the control panel is to be delivered after the 3 circuits are installed then the supply electrician can install a terminal block at the end of the cables and leave them tested for the panel men. A note on the EIC can explain what was done.

    Regards David
