IEE REGS monty python

Anthony Dicker

Hi

Insurance documents for my property give IEE as the standard of compliance.

I was led to believe that the IEE is as Monty Pythons Parrot, And all regs now are IET.

Is this correct? Should someone divulge this to my insurance company?

As I am a MIET and have all the old G&G -- A -B C electrical qualifications. Electricians certificate and the Licentiate from them. Then my HND on top of those. 

Question - Can I sign off on the  Premises Periodical Electrical Certification -or must pay a Contractor with half my qualifications to do it.

What is the MIET accreditation worth in that scenario.? The insurers also ask for an ISO number.?

I know I can do the PAT testing- just reading the PAT regs clarify that. Especially when one PAT comedian claimed my walk in cold room is a Portable Appliance. (Coz it got a plug on it.)

Regards  Tony

  • I can guarantee that if you had a fire in the fixed electrical installation, you would regret not getting an independent tradesman to provide the EICR.

    Your insurers would be all over that report like a rash and if they found that it had been conducted negligently, they would seek to offload the liability. So a tradesman's provider of professional indemnity insurance might take the hit.

    Worst case is that you find yourself uninsured. Could you cope with a total loss? Moreover, if this is for your hotel, there might be additional claims from guests.
