EIC depature

lyledunn

Suppose a designer has made a departure from BS7671 in a situation where separate signatories are applicable for design, construction and inspection and testing. Is that departure then repeated in the departure sections for construction and inspection and testing? 
If that were to be the case, would all parties have to ensure that the design decision was appropriate, no matter how complex the justification for the departure?

    Looking at the wording on the model EIC in appendix 6, it looks like both the constructor and inspector are certifying that their work in 'in accordance with BS 7671' (rather than in accordance with the design) - 'except for the departures listed as follows'. And each signatory gets their own departures box. I guess it's done that way to allow additional departures at each stage, but it perhaps would avoid any confusion if all three listed the same departures in this case.
