Requirements for an electrical design & the EIC

Hi All

Just a quick question, is it a legal requirement the following section to be signed? The main contractor, sub-contracted a designer and the employed a installer, however hey signed all sections apart from the design section. I can't remember it being a legal requirement but the MC can sign it as a departure?

I/We being the person(s) responsible for the design of the electrical installation (as indicated by my/our signatures below), particulars of which are described above, having exercised reasonable skill and care when carrying out the design and additionally where this certificate applies to an add1t1on or alteration, the safety of the existing installation is not impaired, hereby CERTIFY that the design work for which I/we have been responsible is to the best of my/our knowledge and belief in accordance with BS 7671 :2018, amended to ….. except for the departures, if any, detailed .as follows:  

Thanks

  • If a design has been submitted by somebody else would that not be signed when it was received by the contractor. I don't see why it needs to be signed on the certificate as well so long as the signed design drawings are attached to the certificate.
