The notes
Exactly as they are on the site.
Inspection always comes before testing. You look before you measure, for two reasons Guidance Note 3 spells out: any defect you find gets put right before testing, so you don’t have to repeat tests the repair would affect, and so you don’t test something that isn’t safe to test.
On a new installation, the paperwork you hand over is a set, not a single sheet:
- an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), two pages
- one or more Schedules of Circuit Details
- one or more Schedules of Test Results
