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

  • Clearly the Insurance Company havent got a clue, and have just copied past terms and conditions.

    To do the EICR, you must be competent. There are rules as to what constitutes competentcy. C&G 2391 is the usual Certificate to show competentcy in I&T, though previous experience could also show it too.

    As for the 'PAT' testing, well, he has a point. It isnt testing of portable appliances as many think. It is the 'In service inspection and testing of electrical equipment'. No mention of portable in the title. It is anything that may require testing for safety after the fixed wiring. The usual that I used to do was toilet hand dryers. Not at all portable, and not connected through a socket outlet. Basically, anything that may give rise to a potential fault, and endanger staff/the public, may need to be inspected, and where necessary, tested.

    Hi what does the P in PAT indicate. I last read it up some time back. It was quite clear at that point. Have they moved the goalposts.

    "Hi what does the P in PAT indicate." What is the proper name of this test regime? It is not PA testing or PAT. I`s just an informal name like saying "Ring Mains" when it is not actually a Ring Main but a Ring Final Circuit.- A ring Main might be out on the street or even at a mains distribution system (say a few generators linked in parallel via a ring linked system of radial sized conductors that can be de-linked to take one or more generators out of service to be safely worked upon)
