On the certificate there's a list of items to inspect, and for the fundamentals assessment there are 14 outcomes. Each one gets a tick or an N/A. That's it.

📕BS 7671, Appendix 6 lists the items to inspect under each heading. Guidance Note 3 has its own inspection checklist (2.5.3, p.47) and the form with the 14 items (Fig 5.2, p.148).

Worked example: outcome 1

"Condition of consumer's intake equipment (Visual inspection only)"
Appendix 6 lists two points:

  · Are there meter tails?
  · Is there a means of isolation?

Both present → tick
"Means of isolation" — which one? The supplier's cut-out fuse, a separate isolator, or the main switch. Nobody is touching the DNO fuse, so it's your main switch or a separate isolator. The certificate lumps them together and says "where necessary".
✋No condition codes here. C1, C2, C3 and FI, and limitations, belong on a condition report — a periodic. This is a new installation or an addition, so it's ticks and N/As only.
