OLEV Installation Auditor problems

whjohnson

It would appear that third party less than qualified and experienced individuals are being engaged as clipboard warriors to audit new EV charger installs.

Is there a publically available list of OLEV appointed EV charger installation auditors somewhere online?

Something smells very strongly of fish, and it isn't the charger units.

Cannot comment upon individual cases, but for a flavour -

Comments welcome.

  • Humm some of the codes do seem a bit far fetched.

    I think the dismissal of the SPDs wasn't quite right though (unless the EV install was done a long time ago) - I agree that the regs aren't retrospective, but the EV install is new, so there should be SPDs on that bit at least, or a documented risk assessment showing that they're not required (the value of the installation opt-out isn't going to work given the cost of the charge point alone, never mind the EV); without an SPD or RA the new EV install can't be said to comply with BS 7671 (which presumably was the requirement and what the cert claimed it did).

    How about a departure based upon the impracticality of installing SPD provision when a recently fitted but nearly full consumer unit is present? Surely SPD provision cannot be forced upon an unwilling adopter against both their will and their wallet?
