DIY electrical

[murdock]

i have an easier way to resolve this debate...anyone ever filled out a certificate of compliance for a new electrical installation which by the way is found in the sans new grey book under section...i am not sure which chapter or verse...one of you bright sparks will have to give us a page number with the chapter and verse..

if so please direct me to the vers and chapters for each section...and calify how you determined the answer to each question on the document...maybe that will clear up any misunderstanding about who is responsible for what part of the electricial installation...from the design to the purchasing of materials...to the installation and then last but not least the testing.

i can see where this thread is going...you gona make me put down my captains morgans... squash my cigar roll my wheel chair across to my desk and have to look up the answer in a book which i dont even own yet...i will have ask the warden to get me one

As far as I know, we only fill in the "new installation" section if we've done the installation work. In all other instances we stick to the "test only" section of the COC.

so who fills in the rest of the coc on a new electrical installation?

the diy fella or do you just cross it out like we do on exsisitng installations?

this is becoming a real interesting thread.

something else i was pleased to hear yesterday...some of the consultants are writing a clause into contracts that the cocs which are issued by the elctrical contractor who did the work must be checked and verified by an independent inspector selected by the consultant and not the electrical contractor...mmm maybe we are finally starting to head in the right direction.

and as the other engineer mentioned they cant even go onto site to start the job unless all their documentation...staff qualification are listed and a 3 day induction course is held to try make the site little safer...the correct clothing and equipment is inspected at the gate "before" they enter the site...its all good news...it may take a little longer to get onto site but it makes it safer for other people working on the site...there is nothing more dangerous than working on a construction site with...uneducated...unskilled...people with bad working habits and unsafe equipment.

We do it the same as for existing installations.
