Anybody want a used sticker?

Chris Pearson

Today I attended NAPIT's update morning and got my lovely new brown book.

I am a bit tired now, but in the morning I shall start to update my installation to 18th+2 by peeling the RCD test notice off my DB.

Can anybody suggest what I might do with it?

  • I suspect you are being a bit tongue in cheek Chris but if you are going to peel it off then A2 requires that an EIC “has been issued to the person ordering the work”. So if you can find that person and ask them if a certificate has been issued then peel away!

    I am sorry, lyledunn has it in one and I was being naughty. If somebody had commented on this new provision last Friday, would he have been believed?

    I doubt that many occupiers pay any regard to these notices at home, but I think that even less attention will be paid from now on. Do recipients of EICs really read the small print; and how many certificates get passed on to new owners?

    For me, it is a retrograde step. I shall leave mine alone, not least because an upgrade would require the fitting of an RCD to the lighting circuits.

    At the NAPIT event, the manufacturers' representatives said that they will still be applying notices to their products, as I shall do when i change my CU next month.

    Playing with stickers is an arrestable offence. Is the sticker nearly new or is the sticky side covered in fluff?

    Z.

    Regulation 514.9.2 would apply regardless of whether there is or isn't a requirement for that instruction or warning notice in BS 7671 (so for example, a warning notice for colours might still be fitted, but this should comply with the requirements for warning notice ... important, because I've seen this notice in red text on white background, which doesn't comply with Safety Signs and Signals Regulations and the relevant standards for safety signs, BS ISO 3864).
